Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in human body fluids, human milk and bovine milk. Bovine lactoferrin is capable of interacting with human lactoferrin binding sites. Lactoferrin’s acitivity comes from the first 52 amino acids in the peptide sequence. The sequence is identical for bovine and human lactoferrin. Lactoferrin is also extremely resistant to degradation in the gastrointestinal tract, being effective both in acidic or alkaline pH, and is absorbed by a specific receptor found in the intestinal brush border.
Lactoferrin is a powerful immune booster. Its multifunctional role also encompasses antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. Lactoferrin has been used successfully as an adjunct to chemotherapy to improve the immunity of cancer patients and to reduce the treatment side effects. Neonatal units successfully use lactoferrin to help reduce neonate infections in hospitals, and baby formulas manufactured in China are now being supplemented with lactoferrin.
