Ingredient Benefits
Improves iron absorption
The proteins in lactoferrin have a high affinity for iron and bind it up to carry through the lactoferrin receptors in the small intestines. Many forms of iron are not well absorbed and can pass through to be eliminated by stool.
Provides immune support and is anti-inflammatory
Being an immunomodulator, lactoferrin helps manage the inflammatory response. It is thought that the iron binding action of lactoferrin does not allow the pathogens to use iron to transport throughout the body. And it is suggested to protect against viruses from attaching to cells and replicating
Acne relief
Lactoferrin treats acne without drying the skin, and without causing inflammatory side-effects. It does this through starving or neutralizing a type of bacteria that contributes to acne.
