Laktoferrin contains lactoferrin, a peptide glycoprotein that belongs to the transferrin family, which is responsible for binding and transporting iron in the body. Small amounts are found in bovine colostrum (“mothers’ first milk”).
Additionally, lactoferrin occurs in mammalian exocrine secretions and is released from neutrophil granules during inflammation.
Lactoferrin plays roles in multiple biochemical functions. It is crucial to the uptake of iron in the intestinal mucosa of breast-fed infants, through its iron-binding activity.
WHY SUPPLEMENT WITH LAKTOFERRIN ?
Laktoferrin plays a crucial role in iron-binding and transport in the body. Bo doing so, it can help prevent bacteria and viruses from being 'fed' by iron and therefore help to inhbit their growth.
It may support various types of microbial-balancing activities, primarily in the gut as well as contribute to a healthy immune system.
