Studies comparing human milk from preterm mothers with that from term mothers suggest that these immunologic benefits may be even greater
for preterm infants because secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA), lysozyme,
lactoferrin, and interferon are found in greater concentrations in preterm human milk compared with term milk.2 — 4 Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants do not benefit from the transplacental transfer of maternal immunoglobulins that occurs primarily after 34 weeks of gestation.5 These infants are exposed to abundant pathogenic organisms during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization and may benefit from the host defense factors present in preterm human milk.6 — 9

LACTOFERRIN), vitamins, minerals, water, immunoblobulins, lysozyme (one of 20 active enzymes in human milk, this one provides an antibacterial factor against enterobacteriaceae and gram + bacteria), other digestive enzymes not in other sources include lipase and amylase, prostaglandins, bile salts, EGF (promotes healing and growth of gut mucosa), cytokines, CCK....
Lactoferrin is used
for treating stomach and intestinal ulcers, diarrhea, and hepatitis C.
The reason
for this reduction in iron absorption is that the breastmilk proteins,
lactoferrin and transferrin, can become saturated by the excess iron.
non-specific - like
lactoferrin, lysozyme and bifidus factors which either make human milk a poor medium
for bacterial survival or make the intestine unsuitable
for the growth of pathogenic agents.
The current process
for producing
lactoferrin is so inefficient that it requires nearly a gallon of cow's milk to create just one capsule of the stuff.
Already shown to work in pigs, whose immune systems are much like ours,
lactoferrin could provide a boost
for those with compromised immune systems such as infants, the elderly, and the chronically ill.
Lactoferrin is responsible
for helping regulate the defense response against pathogens by boosting immune - balancing T - cells and increasing natural white blood cells.
It is also important to stress out that the whey isolates do not provide most of the above mentioned health benefits, as the process necessary
for production of whey isolate burns up many sub-fractions important
for strengthening the immune system, such as
lactoferrin, beta - lactoglobulin, and immunoglobulin.
Speaking of glutathione, I get intravenous glutathione every time I get a chance and I make Glutathione Force, which is a liposomal plus a
lactoferrin, it's an advanced delivery system
for glutathione, so it can absorb about five times better than normal liposomes.
Iron Transport:
Lactoferrin has an extremely high affinity
for iron.
Most of the
lactoferrin in raw milk is destroyed by pasteurization, one of the reasons why even low - temp pasteurized milk is not a good choice
for making baby formula at home — the milk must be grassfed, clean and RAW.
I can not recommend a high - quality organic yogurt enough
for your health, so it pays to enjoy yoghurt because

You state that along with
lactoferrin... «There are specific B - complex vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that possess synergistic properties and I find them indispensable when taking Diflucan (fluconazole), Nizoral (ketoconazole), and
for supporting candida (yeast / fungal) treatment, and die - off symptoms.»
Several components of whey also known as cofactors, include the immunoglobulins,
lactoferrin (anti-inflammatory, improves bone density), lactoferricin (antimicrobial and anti-tumor), sphingolipids (allows

Here's a quote: «
Lactoferrin: Lactoferrin found in foods such as yogurt and kefir will stimulate new bone growth while preventing further breakdown of existing bone tissue, lactoferrin enhances both the growth and the activity of osteoblasts (the cells that build bone), and reduces the rate of bone cell death by 50 to 70 percent and decreases the development of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down b
