Lactoferrin 250mg 30 capsules - supports healthy immune function | Jarrow Formulas
Jarrow Formulas Lactoferrin contains freeze dried lactoferrin, an important immune supporting glycoprotein that is found in breast milk, tears and saliva.
One of the biological activities of lactoferrin comes from its powerful ability to bind iron (300 times that of serum transferrin), which promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Moreover, digestion of lactoferrin by gastric pepsin liberates the immune supporting peptide lactoferricin B
Lactoferrin is a whey protein derived from milk. It is present in human breast milk, and is one of the important molecules that help newborns develop their immunity. Lactoferrin is a multitasking protein with several biological roles.
Lactoferrin is often used as a supplement to support or strengthen the immune system, prevent infections, and improve gut health.
Laboratory evidence suggests that lactoferrin may have antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anticancer properties.
Lactoferrin has been clinically studied in neonatal units to prevent bacterial and viral infections during hospitalization. It is such a potent immunomodulator that it has been well-studied in cancer patients to help battle cancer and enhance patients’ immunity.
Clinical studies have shown that lactoferrin supplementation can improve bloodserum parameters, such as haemoglobin, erythrocytes, ferritin, and iron levels, particularly when taken before meals.
It can also increase total T cell counts, helper T cells, and cytotoxic T cells, enhancing immune function. Additionally, lactoferrin can reduce visceral fat area, decrease body weight, BMI, and waist circumference, which can be beneficial for metabolic health.
Furthermore, lactoferrin exhibits protective activity in obesity and can improve body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), fasting glucose concentration, and insulin sensitivity.
It may also help in reducing the occurrence of serious infections in preterm infants, preventing and treating anemia in women and infants, and preventing and treating colds and vaginal infections.
Lactoferrin is freeze-dried and processed at low temperatures to preserve potency and activity. Bovine lactoferrin is absorbable by humans and has the same mechanism of action.
Lactoferrin is generally considered safe, but it may trigger a reaction in people with milk allergies.
