Health Benefits at a Glance:

Lactoferrin, a protein found in mother's milk, is essential for promoting a healthy immune system response through various mechanisms. 

Recent research also suggests that lactoferrin offers additional benefits for eye health.


Why it Works:

Having a weakened immune function can harm your digestive system and vice versa. 

Lactoferrin is a natural immune-supporting nutrient. (1,2) In fact, it and has the highest concentration in human colostrum, "first milk", followed by human milk, and then cow's milk. It is also found in the rest of the human body. (3,4) 

Lactoferrin has multiple ways of supporting a healthy immune system response. It can help promote beneficial bacterial flora growth in the intestines. (4,5) Moreover, it can also provide protection for healthy cells and regulate immune function. (6-8)

By adding it to your regimen, you powerfully support both your immune health and your GI tract at the same time.


The Science Behind the Product:

Lactoferrin has a variety of uses in biological systems and is considered a first line immune defense in the human body. It was found that the ingestion of this nutrient has direct protective effects on the regulation and modulation of the immune system. (9)

One study examined lactoferrin as a “natural antibiotic” and found that it in both in-vitro and in-vivo studies strongly suppressed the toxic bacteria helicobacter pylori. It was concluded that bovine (cows) lactoferrin has significant antimicrobial activity against helicobacter species in-vitro and in-vivo. (9)

Furthermore, studies have shown that lactoferrin can help with the body’s natural production of tears. (10-12) In a clinical study, lactoferrin was able to increase tear breakup time by 77% compared with controls after 60 days. (11)
