Description
Allergy Research Group Laktoferrin
Immune Peptide from Colostrum
A specific peptide extracted from bovine colostrum ("mother's first milk") and possessing iron-binding properties. Lactoferrin is involved in biochemical processes in lymphocytes and in iron metabolism.
Key Benefits
- Supports iron-binding and transport, and has antioxidant activity
- May help deprive undesirable gastrointestinal microbes from needed iron
- May enhance and modulate immune activities

More Info
Lactoferrin plays roles in multiple biochemical functions. For example, lactoferrin is crucial to the uptake of iron in the intestinal mucosa of breast-fed infants, through its iron-binding activity. Lactoferrin also has other important iron-binding activities, as well as immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities.
The gastrointestinal tract is a primary area of activity for supplemental lactoferrin. Lactoferrin binds strongly to iron, potentially depriving undesirable gut microbes of iron that they need for their growth. It may also help inhibit these microbes from attaching to the intestinal lining.
