Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein with a variety of physiological activities and is known as "The first line of immune defense for human healthIt is extremely important for the growth and development of infants and young children, and can improve the natural intrinsic protection of children in an all-round way.
Lactoferrin-
Improve self-protectionPromotes iron absorption
The relationship between lactoferrin and iron, like vitamin D and calcium, is the relationship between the former and the absorption of the latter. Lactoferrin participates in the storage, transport, absorption and utilization of iron in the human body, helps the intestinal absorption of iron, maintains the balance of iron in the human body, and promotes the absorption of calcium, phosphorus and other mineral elements by the human body.
Lactoferrin-
Improve self-protectionStrengthens resistance
Breast milk is rich in lactoferrin, which is conducive to the development of the mucosal immune system on the surface of organs and tissues, which is also the first immune barrier of the human body, which can improve the baby's immunity and resistance, and can also promote the absorption of nutrients to avoid iron deficiency anemia and malnutrition in the baby.
Lactoferrin-
Improve self-protectionRegulates immunity
Lactoferrin has the function of regulating innate immunity, and is a component of the human innate immune system, constituting the body's initial rapid immune defense system against foreign pathogens. It can promote the production and secretion of antibodies, and promote the maturation of T cells and B cells in immune cells.
Lactoferrin-
Improve self-protectionPromotes intestinal growth
Lactoferrin can not only inhibit a variety of bacteria and viruses, but also stimulate the growth of probiotics such as bifidobacteria and regulate the intestinal flora.
In studies of diarrhea in infants and young children, it was found that lactoferrin in the intestine can be passedPromotes probiotic growth, immunomodulatory effects and anti-inflammatory effects have a relieving effect.
Lactoferrin-
Improve self-protectionAntibacterial and antiviral
Lactoferrin is a non-specific member of the immune system and has distinctive antiviral activity, mainly by binding to viruses or host cell surface proteins, and exerts antiviral effects in the process of viral adsorption and invasion.
Studies have shown that lactoferrin has inhibitory and killing effects on many microorganisms, such as gram-positive, aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, certain fungi and viruses, and has inhibitory and killing effects on many pathogens. Lactoferrin supplementation in spring and autumn can enhance immunity and prevent the occurrence of colds and gastrointestinal diseases.
Lactoferrin is specially added to Obineng + Children's Growth Milk Powder to help children enhance their resistance, regulate their immunity, and grow up healthy and happy!
