Aliness Lactoferrin is a dietary supplement consisting of high-quality New Zealand lactoferrin from cow's milk, enriched with vitamin C.

Lactoferrin is a type of protein belonging to the transferrin family. It occurs mainly in milk, both female and animal, whilst its highest concentration is found in colostrum, i.e. the so-called foremilk, secreted just after the birth of an offspring. This substance is well known to scientists, who described and clinically confirmed its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Vitamin C is an extremely popular and probably the most commonly used vitamin. It is a powerful antioxidant and it also shows a significant impact on the functions of the immune and nervous systems. It is also involved in the production of collagen. It can also increase the absorption of non-heme iron.

Support for the immune system
Lactoferrin has the unique ability to accelerate the maturation of B and T lymphocytes and to initiate an immune response. In addition, it intensifies the activity of NK cells, granulocytes and macrophages; it also has a beneficial effect on the efficiency of the phagocytosis process. The action of lactoferrin towards the strengthening of the immunity is supplemented by vitamin C, which is also involved in the formation of lymphocytes and the production of interferon.

Antimicrobial activity
Lactoferrin is extremely effective in combating various types of pathogens – bacteria, viruses and fungi. It destroys bacterial cell walls, inhibits viral replication in cells and prevents the intrusion of pathogens into the cells of the body, thus reducing the risk of infection.

Improved absorption of iron
Lactoferrin is capable of binding iron ions and transferring them inside the cells. Clinical trials demonstrated that the rate of absorption of iron administered with lactoferrin is four times faster than iron alone. The ascorbic acid present in the preparation also has an effect on the absorption of iron, however, this effect is almost practically limited to non-heme iron.

Antioxidant potential
Both lactoferrin and vitamin C are extremely powerful antioxidants. They are scavengers of free radicals from the body and reduce oxidative stress – the main risk factors of civilization diseases and the accelerated aging of the organism.

In summary, Aliness Lactoferrin is a supplement that promotes the strengthening of immunity and facilitates the fight against recurrent infections. It can also be a good option for people suffering from iron deficiency anemia.
