Lactoferrin :
- Lactoferrin is a protein found in human milk and animal milk.
- Colostrum, the first milk made after a baby is born, is higher in lactoferrin.
- Lactoferrin helps regulate how well iron is absorbed into the body from the intestine.
- It also seems to protect against infections from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The lactoferrin in breastmilk is thought to help protect breast-fed infants against infections.
Immunoglobulin (IgG) :
- IgG is an antibody and thus helps to recognize and eliminate bacteria viruses and toxins.
- This also helps immunity by maintaining the gut barrier.
- At a 5g dosage this is considered a pharmaceutical food and can be given as a prescription to people with leaky gut and IBS among other illnesses.
HMO 2’-FL - Human Milk Oligosaccharide 2’-fucosyllactose :
- Prebiotic present in breast milk. Is the most prevalent HMO in breast milk.
- This is used in certain infant formulas and digestive aids.
