Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is a natural iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk, saliva and other secreted fluids. Lactoferrin is an important component of the body’s immune system, where it forms part of the innate defence, and helps to modulate the immune system.
The powerful health benefits of lactoferrin have been the focus of extensive scientific research for over 50 years. Lactoferrin’s biological functions may include:
- Maintaining a healthy immune system
- Digestive health and comfort
- Supporting a health inflammatory status
- Assisting with iron absorption and maintaining a healthy iron status
