- Lactoferrin is a substance
belonging to the Cytokine family, Cytokines are responsible for
coordinating the human cellular response that protects us from most
infections, cancers and tumors.
- The biological actions of
lactoferrin under various experimental conditions are wide-ranging and
include: inhibition of the survival or growth of many different
pathogenic organisms; activation or stimulation of a variety of immune
system cells; regulation of normal cell growth; and inhibition of
abnormal tumor growth and spread of cancer cells in laboratory
animals.
- Physiological
concentrations of lactoferrin are capable of killing or inhibiting the
growth of a wide spectrum of infectious organisms including bacteria,
viruses, parasites and fungi.
- Lactoferrin is an exciting
new supplement that may contribute to an increased likelihood of a
positive outcome when used to support the body’s recovery from
disease.
- Lactoferrin’s overwhelming
margin of safety, along with a rapidly accumulating body of clinical
data and anecdotal accounts of its effects when taken by humans,
suggests significant benefit when lactoferrin is used as a nutritional
supplement in a wide range of infectious and life-threatening
illnesses.
- Lactoferrin is an
antioxidant that scavenges free iron, helping to prevent uncontrolled
iron based free radical reactions, thus protecting certain cells from
peroxidation.
- Lactoferrin is both an iron scavenger and donor
(depending on the cellular environment),
- It has been found to scavenge
or donate iron at the appropriate times when the body is in need of the
reaction.
- Lactoferrin appears to
modulate immune function through chemical mediators called cytokines.
- Cytokines belong to a broad class of molecules that mediate interactions
between various cells in the body. Cytokines that specifically mediate
interactions between white blood cells, or leukocytes, are called
interleukins.
- LactoFact is a powerful
tool providing an essential and rapid insight of the glycan content
throughout all stages of production and quality control.
- Fonterra has built a new
dairy protein processing plant in order to meet growing demand for
lactoferrin in Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan.
- The current market for
bovine lactoferrin is thought to be worth around €100 million per year,
with growth of about 20 per cent.
- The majority of sales
are in Asia where lactoferrin supplements are common and dairy companies
fortify yoghurts with the protein.
