Lactoferrin is a protein of the transferrin family, naturally found in body fluids and mucosal secretions in all mammalian species. Most lactoferrin is found in milk, especially in colostrum, the first breast milk produced up to about 5 days after birth.
The beneficial effects of lactoferrin are due, among other things, to its high affinity for iron ions. Iron is an essential element for the proper functioning of our body. However, as it turns out, our microorganisms also need it. Lactoferrin, thanks to its ability to bind iron ions, can limit the availability of this micronutrient to pathogens and thus inhibit their proliferation. Weakened due to iron deficiency, microorganisms are then more easily picked up by immune cells.
Vitamin C is a multipurpose substance, known primarily for its positive effect on the proper functioning of the immune system. In addition to this, vitamin C helps in the proper production of collagen and increases the absorption of iron. It is also involved in protecting cells from oxidative stress/.
In conclusion, Aliness Lactoferrin is a dietary supplement recommended especially during periods of increased susceptibility to infections, such as autumn and winter.
