Lactoferrin is one of the components of the immune system of the body; it has antimicrobial activity (bacteriocide, fungicide) and is part of the innate defense, mainly at mucoses. In particular, lactoferrin provides antibacterial activity to human infants. Lactoferrin interacts with DNA and RNA, polysaccharides and heparin, and shows some of its biological functions in complexes with these ligands.
1. Helps the immune system and prevents inflammation.
2. Has anti-cancer properties.
3. Supports iron absorption.
4. Shields preterm infants.
5. Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral.
6. Promotes bone health.
7. Acts as a cell growth factor.
Lactoferrin provides antibacterial and immune-supporting activity to human infants. LF is a component of the immune system responsible for defense at the mucosal level, due to its high antimicrobial activity.
Lactoferrin is crucial to the increase in immune functions for breastfed infants. It is also believed to be widely important to maintaining immune functions further in life past infancy. It helps develop the gastrointestinal and immune system in newborns.
