Kids Daily Immune + Lactoferrin

The word says it all – “Lacto” (meaning milk) “ferrin” (meaning iron) is a unique milk protein containing iron. It works in many ways to support the immune system. It is the second most abundant whey protein in breast milk. 

It is also found in cows milk but in much smaller quantities. It requires a lot more cows milk to make the equivalent amount found naturally in breast milk.

It is well known to researchers studying human health. Since it’s discovery, cows milk lactoferrin has been the subject of over 2000 scientific studies. This includes over 80 human clinical trials, making it one of the most scientifically studied proteins in the world.

Lactoferrin is found naturally in “protective” fluids produced by the body such as tears and saliva. It is a natural component of every person’s “immune defences” system.

The gut contains 70% of the cells that make up the immune system. Lactoferrin that is consumed interacts with the immune cells that live in the lining of the gut. This naturally supports immune function, making lactoferrin ideal for immune health.
