Published studies that have examined the use of lactoferrin as a supplement and its effects on immunity have been quite promising. Research using various animals models (i.e., rats, sheep, pigs and cats, as well as others) has found the ingestion of lactoferrin to have direct protective effects on the regulation and modulation of the immune system.
Two studies using healthy human volunteers found the ingestion of lactoferrin derived from cows milk had positive immunoregulatory effects that were specific to the individual. That is, depending on the initial profile of the immune system of each person, lactoferrin ingestion augmented the immune response, leading the researchers to conclude ". . .the data suggests that bovine (cows) lactoferrin may be applied in the clinic to improve the immune status of the patients." A similar human study using ten people who ingested lactoferrin concluded "these results suggest that lactoferrin administration may influence the primary activation of the host defense system."
