Suggest Ways To Improve Lactoferrin Levels In Blood

Posted on Mon, 23 Jan 2017

Question: What can I eat or drink to get the highest level of lactoferrin. I have been told raw cows milk. Does any other dairy product have it?

Answered by Dr. Noble Zachariah (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Common dairy products hardly have any lactoferrin

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for the query.
The first milk produced after delivery has the highest content of lactoferrin and is present only in minute quantities in other body fluids.
The regular milk products do not contain significant amounts.
Most of the Lactoferrin available is produced from specially engineered rice.

Do get back to me if you have further queries.
