Pro Lactoferrin Immun

OVERVIEW

The biological activity of lactoferrin is primarily based on the fact that it binds highly efficiently to iron, as well as pathogens and interacts with various immune cells and receptors. As an iron-binding protein of the transferrin group, it deprives harmful bacteria of a vital mineral as well, thereby preventing their reproduction. At the same time, it supports the absorption and distribution of iron in the body. Lactoferrin also binds directly to viruses, bacteria and bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides, LPS) and neutralizes them in this way. In contrast, probiotic bacteria are actually encouraged in their growth, which means that lactoferrin supports the gut microbiome and gut health is positively affected. In addition, lactoferrin modulates the body’s own immune cells and contributes to the balancing of the immune system by promoting the T H1 / T H2 balance. A permanent imbalance between T helper cells T H1 and T H2 is considered to be the cause of autoimmune diseases and allergies, among others.

With all these properties, lactoferrin is ideal for strengthening the natural defenses. In addition, it can provide additional support for iron deficiency.
