Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin binds to iron, depriving bacteria of a nutrient essential for growth and thus helping control oral pathogens. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, supporting overall gum health and immune responses in the mouth. For product comparison, Lactoferrin should be checked by exact form, plant part or compound type, standardization, amount per serving, and whether it is listed as an active ingredient, other ingredient, or part of a blend. Useful database notes include what it is used for, where it occurs naturally or how it is commonly sourced, and what shoppers should verify on the Supplement Facts label.
