Glossary
Lactoferrin
Also known as lactotransferrin, Lactoferrin is a natural substance that provides numerous benefits to the immune system, to good intestinal health, as an antioxidant, as a protector against harmful microbes, and as a regulator of iron levels.
Lactoferrin is a bioactive glycoprotein (composed of a protein and a carbohydrate) that is found in breast milk and in small quantities in most body fluids. Lactoferrin supplements are isolated from whey protein. Lactoferrin makes up approximately 0.5% - 1% or less of whey protein derived from cows milk (whereas human mothers milk will contain up to 15% lactoferrin).
Lactoferrin is concentrated in oral cavities where it will come in direct contact with pathogens and kills or greatly suppresses these pathogens through a variety of different mechanisms. Lactoferrin is manufactured by mucosal lining (in the mouth and intestinal tract) and by white blood cells.
