Full Description

Lactoferrin is a single defensive immune protein, which is 100% pure and natural. Lactoferrin is already part of your body's immune defence system, and it is found in the mucosal linings of the body, such as the gut, airways, mouth, and in tears to keep the eyes healthy and protected from pathogens. Far from being a new thing, Lactoferrin has been astounding medical and scientific researchers since 1975, and there are over 1300 peer reviewed, published scientific papers on this remarkable supplement.

Well researched:
Over 1300 studies in peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals show that oral supplementation with Lactoferrin can prevent the onset of infections and diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungal organisms and tumours. Lactoferrin has US FDA approval as a safe and non-toxic supplement (GRAS).

This research has shown Lactoferrin to have the following functions:

Anti-viral:
Extensive research has shown that Lactoferrin can prevent viruses, even powerful ones such as HIV, CMV, Herpes Simplex and Hepatitis C from binding to the body’s healthy cells and therefore prevent viral infection. HIV patients are known to demonstrate a systemic lack of Lactoferrin. Read more on the antiviral properties of Lactoferrin.

Athletes find lactoferrin particularly useful in combating Glandular fever and other post-viral and over-training problems. It has also been shown to be effective in treating the Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI’s) that can afflict athletes under heavy training loads. Lactoferrin is IOC friendly and FDA approved.

Anti-bacterial:
Ron Gellately, the world renowned Australian Naturopath, Nutritionist and Homoeopath sings the praises of Lactoferrin in his bestselling book ‘Internal Health’. He notes that Lactoferrin kills many disease causing bacteria, whilst at the same time protecting and encouraging the body’s own good, vital gut flora. Lactoferrin is ideal for people who are either unable, or do not wish, to take traditional pharmaceutical antibiotics with all their attendant damaging side effects. Lactoferrin is a well researched, effective and safe natural alternative. Read more on the effects of Lactoferrin on bacteria. This highly qualified therapist says, 'If you can only afford one supplement - make it Lactoferrin.'

Anti-fungal:
Lactoferrin kills a range of yeasts and fungi, and is very effective at killing the causative agent of Candida. It is also well known for its ability to kill gut parasites and lowers gut inflammation found in conditions such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s and Diverticulitis.
 

Anti-tumour:

More than 20 studies have shown that Lactoferrin and related peptides have been shown to suppress tumour growth and prevent tumour formation. It has been used in conjunction with chemotherapy to reduce the number of infections due to weakening of the immune system. One study notes that Lactoferrin might become the drug of choice for the adjuvant therapy against pancreatic cancer’.

Anti-oxidant:

• The strong binding of iron by Lactoferrin prevents free iron from forming free radicals. Free radicals have been strongly implicated as a cause for many diseases and infections.
• Lactoferrin has been shown to help international athletes recover quickly form mystery blood viruses and Glandular fever.
• Because it protects the delicate balance of bacteria in the gut, it is ideal to take in place of traditional antibiotics, which destroy this balance and leave you open to recurrent illnesses.

"When my daughter was thirteen, she developed Glandular Fever, and she was so ill that I was on the verge of taking her to hospital. Instead we gave her high doses of Lactoferrin and Colostrum for five days: on the sixth day she was back at school and wanting to play Hockey! That was eight years ago, and there have been no recurrences." - Neil Wootten 

"I have been using Immunecare Lactoferrin supplement for the last two years both personally and for my clients.  Its excellent immune supporting effect has helped prevent the upper respiratory tract infections that blight so many.  We have found that Immuncare Lactoferrin really does help keep us protected throughout the year, and particularly through periods of stress either in sport or the workplace.’" - Roz Kadir RN Dip ION MSc
