{"product_id":"lactoferrin-300-mg","title":"Lactoferrin 300 mg","description":"\u003cp\u003eLactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein first isolated from milk in 1939, and it is present in nearly every mammalian secretion — tears, saliva, mucosa — wherever the body meets the outside world. Human colostrum is unusually rich in it. It is one of the first proteins an infant receives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts defining property is affinity for iron. Each molecule can hold two ferric ions, and it holds them tightly, across a wide pH range, releasing them only under acidic conditions. This makes lactoferrin a sequestering protein: it keeps free iron out of circulation, which matters because unbound iron is a potent catalyst of the Fenton reaction, the chemistry that turns hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals. By binding iron, lactoferrin limits that reaction — an antioxidant function achieved by removing the ingredient rather than by donating an electron.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also participates in the normal regulation of iron absorption and transport, and in supporting healthy mucosal and immune function — the body's ordinary front-line housekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e300 mg per capsule.
