A formula for a daily immune health routine

Overview

Lactoferrin is a bioactive protein naturally present in milk and especially abundant in colostrum. It belongs to the transferrin family of iron-binding proteins and is part of the natural protection of mucous membranes. Milk provides more than calories: it also contains proteins involved in communication with the immune system and the intestinal environment.

Lactoferrin bLF Infants + Kids

What is lactoferrin?

Lactoferrin binds iron and interacts with mucosal surfaces. Digestion can produce smaller biologically active peptides. Its presence in milk and colostrum has prompted research in infant and child nutrition.

What research informs Lactoferrin bLF?

Pediatric studies include lactoferrin-fortified infant formulas and supplements for preschool children. They have examined tolerability, gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms, and absence from childcare. Different preparations and amounts were used, so these results should not be applied automatically to the finished drops.

Important information

Science & sources

Understand the formula.

Bovine lactoferrin is a bioactive milk protein studied in pediatric nutrition. These publications include formula-fed infants and preschool children, examining tolerability, immune-related outcomes, and gastrointestinal function. Findings depend on the population and preparation studied.

These publications concern the studied ingredients or formulas. They do not all evaluate the finished Doctor Life product, and research results do not guarantee individual outcomes.

01The Preventive Effect of Lactoferrin-Containing Yogurt on Gastroenteritis in Nursery School Children—Intervention Study for 15 Weeks

Teruomi Tsukahara, Anri Fujimori, Yuka Misawa, Hirotsugu Oda, Koji Yamauchi, Fumiaki Abe, Tetsuo Nomiyama

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (2020), 17(7), 2534. DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17072534; PMID: 32272777.

In a prospective study, preschool children received 100 mg of bovine lactoferrin daily for approximately 15 weeks. Regular consumption was associated with fewer absences related to vomiting during winter. The study used lactoferrin in yogurt at an amount corresponding to the product’s children’s serving; it did not test these drops.

02Effect of bovine lactoferrin from iron-fortified formulas on diarrhea and respiratory tract infections of weaned infants in a randomized controlled trial

Ke Chen, Lingying Chai, Hua Li, Ying Zhang, Hu-Mina Xie, Jia Shang, Weizheng Tian, Ping Yang, Alice C. Jiang

Nutrition (2016), 32(2), 222–227. DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2015.08.010; PMID: 26602290.

A randomized trial examined lactoferrin-enriched formula in infants who were no longer exclusively breastfed. Over three months, the bovine lactoferrin group had fewer episodes of respiratory infection and diarrhea. The study concerned an enriched infant formula, not this finished product.

03A double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study of bovine lactoferrin supplementation in bottle-fed infants

James C. King Jr, Ginny E. Cummings, Nan Guo, Leena Trivedi, Bernard X. Readmond, Virginia Keane, Susan Feigelman, Rick de Waard

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (2007), 44(2), 245–251. DOI: 10.1097/01.mpg.0000243435.54958.68; PMID: 17255839.

Healthy formula-fed infants received formula with an increased lactoferrin content during their first year. The enriched formula was well tolerated, and the lactoferrin group experienced fewer lower respiratory tract illness episodes. This pilot study examined infant formula, not lactoferrin drops.

FAQ / Lactoferrin bLF Infants + Kids

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

Has bovine lactoferrin been studied in infants and children?

Yes. Trials include fortified infant formulas and studies in preschool children, including a 100 mg daily serving. Suitability and amounts still depend on age and the specific product.

Has 100 mg been used in pediatric research?

Yes. A preschool study used 100 mg daily for about 15 weeks. Other trials used different amounts and delivery formats. There is no single research serving appropriate for every child or purpose.

Is lactoferrin an iron supplement?

No. It is an iron-binding protein, not iron replacement. A suspected iron deficiency needs clinical assessment and appropriate treatment.

Why use cow's-milk-derived lactoferrin?

Bovine lactoferrin is related to human lactoferrin and widely used in oral research. Bioferrin 2000® supplies a characterized ingredient with stated purity above 97%. The product contains cow's milk protein and is not dairy-free.

Can the drops be added to hot milk or tea?

Use lukewarm liquid, not hot drinks, because heat can affect protein structure. The suspension can also be given directly, following the directions.

Why use drops for infants and children?

Drops avoid the need to swallow capsules or tablets. They can be given directly or mixed with a small amount of lukewarm liquid, following the age-specific serving instructions.

Is lactoferrin a probiotic?

No. Lactoferrin is a protein; probiotics are live microorganisms. They are different ingredient categories, and one should not be treated as a direct substitute for the other.
