Numerous health benefits of the lactoferrin protein

Hans Vogel, professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary, comments on the results of a study on lactoferrin, a protein secreted into human milk, blood, and other bodily fluids. Having conducted extensive research for the past 15 years, Professor Vogel is admanent that lactoferrin has a number of health benefits, including wound healing, boosting the immune system, and offering protection from certain types of cancer. Studies are underway to determine whether or not this protein can be taken orally in lieu of being injected into a substance, such as infant formula. Vogel views lactoferrin as "the Swiss army knife of the human host defense system." As a potential deterrent or protector against some cancers, it is definitely a protein that cannot be taken lightly.
