Lactoferrin is a protein naturally found in breastmilk, for example in cow milk and human milk, and is also found in fluids in theeye, nose, respiratory tract, intestine, and elsewhere. The benefits are well documented however, it wasn’t known if taking the molecule as a supplement would have the samebeneficial value, until now. ANTI-BACTERIAL – binds iron making it unavailable to pathogens and bacteria that need it for replication and catalysis. Hololactoferrin contains more iron but has a lower iron binding capacity – it is cheaper than Apo Lactoferrin but less effective. I have been using Immunecare Lactoferrin supplement for the last two years both personally and for my clients. Its excellent immune supporting effect has helped prevent the upper respiratory tract infections that blight so many. We have found that Immuncare Lactoferrin really does help keep us protected throughout the year, and particularly through periods of stress either in sport or the workplace.’” – Roz Kadir RN Dip ION MSc Wakabayashi H, Oda H, Yamauchi K, Abe F.

This is a very promising molecule which can be adopted as an adjunct therapy for COVID-19 and could be part of a daily routine for people to take, along with vitamin C, D and Zinc supplements to keep our immune system healthy.Particularly now winter is almost upon us we need this extra protection a lot more now than during the summer,” concluded Dr Merchant. Since 1975 this remarkable supplement has fascinated researchers. Over 2000 peer-reviewed scientific papers, published in medical and scientific journals, show the effectiveness of oral supplementation with Lactoferrin. Antibiotics kill the healthy gut flora in the fight against disease causing bacteria. This weakens the immune system, causes digestive trouble and makes you vulnerable to new infections.

If the virus does enter the cell, Lactoferrin acts on the virus by way of the interferon cytokine which can kill the virus in the cell. Current evidence also favours lactoferrin fortification of infant formula - it won't be long until parents should be able to find lactoferrin fortified infant formulas readily available on the shelves,” Dr Merchant added.

Lactoferrin has been shown to support healing processes. One of the most outstanding abilities is its cell proliferation and the ability to stimulate cell regeneration by the release of specific cytokines, fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Studies show that wound healing in mucosal tissues, such as the oral mucosa, is boosted by treatment with lactoferrin.

If you can only afford one supplement, take Lactoferrin” world renowned Naturopath and Nutritionist Ron Gellately says. Eyes: Lactoferrin can help prevent post-cataract surgery "dry eyes", improving tear quality and quantity. ANTI-OXIDANT - Excess iron can cause oxidative stress. Lactoferrin can help reduce oxidative stress by binding and removing iron, which prevents cell damage or cell death

Lactoferrin was discovered in 1939 as a red protein fraction in cow's milk. After over a dozen years of research, it was isolated from cow and human milk. Its characteristic feature was the red color during incubation with iron ions, which is why the name comes from Latin: "lacto" - milky and "ferrum" - iron. Over the next 20 years, the structure of this protein, its properties and multidirectional action were discovered. Storage conditions: Store at room temperature out of reach of small children. Protect against moisture. WARNINGS: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Avoid excess consumption of this product.

Lactoferrin has been shown to support the immune response and to have immune-modulatory effects 3-7, meaning it contributes to an antiviral response, and it may support resilience, thus better coping with immune stressors, and a beneficial immune status.

Lactoferrin inhibited respiratory syncytial virus, hepatitis B virus, adenovirus, poliovirus, hantavirus, sindbis virus, semliki forest virus, echovirus, and enterovirus. Lactoferrin could be described as the ‘ideal probiotic’ and is considered the fire-starter of our gut microbiome when it is first introduced to infants in milk colostrum soon after birth. It supports a healthy gut microbiome, a vital part of our natural immune system, and will therefore support immunity and health (including skin health and condition) and has been clinically shown to reduce Leaky Gut Syndrome and benefit other gut related issues. Studies have shown that lactoferrin increased the growth rate (40-200%) of beneficial bacteria (such as Bifidobacterium bifidum, B. longum, B. lactis, B. infantis, Lactobacillus reuteri, L. rhamnosus and L. coryniformis). SKIN HEALTH It is no coincidence that the immune systems of our more senior citizens are much less effective than our younger citizens, and that they are much more prone to infections. T cell production, one of the mainstays of the immune function, becomes impaired with advancing years. It has been noted by doctors in America, however, that reversal of this atrophy can take place with both Colostrum and Lactoferrin supplementation. Clearly this is very important in these days of Covid-19. Lactoferrin, part of the body’s own defence system, protects and encourages the body’s good, vital gut flora while destroying disease causing bacteria. Velliyagounder K, Rozario SD, Fine DH.
