Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in human and bovine breast milk that has a powerful immune-stimulating effect. Its multifunctional role also includes antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory activities. Neonatal units successfully use lactoferrin to reduce infections in hospitals; improved infant milk formulas made in China are now enriched with lactoferrin. As an immunomodulator, lactoferrin is involved in managing the inflammatory response, making it beneficial for managing conditions such as hypercholesterolemia, gastrointestinal inflammation, respiratory tract inflammation, and acne. Lactoferrin may also stimulate cells responsible for bone growth.

Animal studies confirm that the combination of lactoferrin and chemotherapy is more effective than either treatment alone. Lactoferrin can therefore be used to optimize the effectiveness of conventional treatments, as well as for the prevention of secondary infections. This is a significant advantage, as secondary infections from immune dysfunction are one of the leading causes of death in cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. Lactoferrin Ultra contains 89% protein, a factor that makes it very beneficial for cancer patients for whom the ability to maintain adequate nutrition is essential for a favorable prognosis. Proteins are particularly important for preventing the development of cancer cachexia, a condition characterized by weight loss, muscle atrophy, weakness, and anorexia.

Individuals who need to strengthen their immune system and require protein supplementation during periods of weakness or illness will greatly benefit from adding AOR's Lactoferrin Ultra to their diet.
