The Gut and Immune Health Benefits of Lactoferrin
The gut and immune system are connected via an intricate network of relationships, which scientists call the “gut–immune axis.” Lactoferrin, a glycoprotein found in the milk, tears, and saliva of mammals, is an important nutrient for the gut–immune axis. It has well-established antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. Multiple studies have demonstrated how lactoferrin promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, reduces intestinal inflammation, prevents diarrhea, and enhances systemic immune responses. In this blog post, we’ll review the latest research on the gut and immune benefits of bovine lactoferrin. We’ll explore its prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, and we’ll discuss how to incorporate it into your daily routine so you can experience its remarkable benefits.
