Lactoferrin, also present in colostrum, besides being responsible for the defense against microorganisms and viral infections, it acts as a nonenzymatic antioxidant because it binds to the iron generated during the destruction process or cellular inflammation, minimizing the synthesis of hydroxyl radicals (Vasconcelos et al., 2007).
The
lactoferrin in camel milk also had medicinal values such as antibacterial, antiviral and anti-tumor properties.

Lactoferrin Supplements Market: Overview
Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein present in cow and human milk and is used as a supplement as it offers various health benefits.
The second group called minor proteins including
Lactoferrin, Immunoglobulins Lactoperoxidase and Lysozyme.
The majority of colostrum's antiviral activity results from the collective action of its immunoglobulins, antibodies,
lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs).
The readout can help prevent food poisoning outbreaks by detecting Staphylococcal enterotoxins, while also predicting milk quality (Kappa Casein) and cow health (
lactoferrin).
The researchers investigated the feasibility of
lactoferrin, a highly bioactive protein found in saliva and milk, as a treatment for TSA.
Lactoferrin is present in human milk, tears, saliva and urine.Scientists from the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV) and Medical University of Vienna discovered an unknown function of the protein
lactoferrin present in human milk as well as in tears, saliva and urine.
The
lactoferrin is primarily originated in neutrophils, which response to an acute inflammation [11, 12].
