Lactoferrin and Vitamins

Bovine lactoferrin (bLF) is a whey protein obtained from milk (96% purity). Because of its high binding affinity for the ferric ion, it not only acts as an iron carrier but also deprives harmful microbes of a factor essential for their growth. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), there are 6 vitamins that contribute to the normal function of the immune system: vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin D.
