Why is Lactoferrin essential? 

Babies are born with an immature immune system, so they rely heavily on immunity passed on from their mother at birth. They also rely on key components in breastmilk such as Lactoferrin.4  Ensuring babies have adequate levels of Lactoferrin helps protect them until they can develop their own system to defend against viral or bacterial infection.
