Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in the milk of most mammals. Lactoferrin is reaching superfood status thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and immune-supporting properties. While providing essential nutrition to newborns, it delivers a number of health and wellness benefits across the age spectrum.
Lactoferrin is already present within the body. Its job is to bind and transport iron, which is essential for bodily functions and modulating immune response. Lactoferrin also aids in the protection against infection, preventing the growth of bacteria and viruses in the digestive and respiratory systems, slowing their growth or killing them outright.
Lactoferrin delivers health and wellness benefits across the age spectrum. Thanks to its broad nutritional and wellness properties, from boosting the immune system to supporting gastrointestinal and bone health, everyone can enjoy its health benefits.
Lactoferrin has a number of health and wellness benefits. These include supporting the immune system, boosting gut and skin health, and the absorption of iron to reduce the risk of anaemia. Its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties help prevent viruses and bacteria from entering healthy cells.
