TurtleTree is a biotech company dedicated to producing a new generation of nutrition—one that’s better for the planet, better for the animals, and better for people everywhere. Utilizing its proprietary, cell-based technology, the company is creating better-for-you milk ingredients sustainably and affordably, with benefits that extend beyond the dining table and into the heart of humanity.

Trailblazing with the most valuable ingredient in milk, TurtleTree released LF+, the world’s first sustainably produced lactoferrin made using cutting-edge precision fermentation technology.

Lactoferrin is a bioactive milk protein that nutritionally enhances not only plant-based foods but every single food product. This process enables animals to live carefree, happier lives.

In the long term, TurtleTree will deliver on its ambitious plan to bring cell-based milk to the world.
