Health Care CAS 112163-33-4 Lactoferrin Powder Nutrition Lactoferrin Powder Bovine Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is one of the components of the immune system of the body; it has antimicrobial activity (bacteriocide, fungicide) and is part of the innate defense, mainly at mucoses. In particular, lactoferrin provides antibacterial activity to human infants. Lactoferrin interacts with DNA and RNA, polysaccharides and heparin, and shows some of its biological functions in complexes with these ligands.
As of 2021, there are many products containing lactoferrin on the market, including yogurt, skimmed milk, health food and fermented dairy products. At the end of the 20th century, Japanese dairy products companies began to produce and sell lactoferrin-containing infant formula milk powder. The benefits of adding lactoferrin to infant milk powder include promoting iron absorption and improving intestinal flora. And so on. It has been confirmed in clinical and animal tests that these lactoferrin-containing products are very beneficial to health. It is popular in Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions to add lactoferrin to fermented dairy products, baby food, soy protein products, and meat products to supplement lactoferrin, enhance the body's immunity, and prevent the body from contracting viral colds and intestinal infections. And other diseases.
1. Enhance the body's resistance: lactoferrin (LF) plays an important role in the body's defense system. Studies have shown that LF is a natural protein in colostrum and a multifunctional protein. It has broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral effects, and can regulate the balance of iron in the body; Regulate the immune function of the body and enhance the disease resistance of the body; Inhibition of human tumor cells; It can work together with a variety of antibiotics and antifungal agents to treat diseases more effectively.
2. Participate in iron metabolism, promote the growth of probiotics in the intestine, and regulate iron transmission: treating gastroenteritis is one of the most important functions of lactoferrin. The inhibitory effect of LF on intestinal pathogenic bacteria is mainly achieved through two ways: inhibiting the growth of cellular bacteria; Destroy the function of virulence factors on the surface of bacteria, so as to weaken the ability of virus to adhere to or invade mammalian cells.
3. Antibacterial and antiviral, regulating immune function, antioxidant effect: under normal circumstances, the freedom in human cells is basically in a balanced state. When the abnormal increase of free radicals, the antioxidant capacity of the body decreases, resulting in excess free radicals, which will cause peroxidation, fatigue and virus damage. LF is a multifunctional protein, which not only participates in iron transport, but also has powerful biological functions such as broad-spectrum antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, immune system regulation and so on. Therefore, the protective effect of lactoferrin on infants may be achieved by preventing the adsorption of intestinal pathogens on the intestinal wall
