1. Promote the development of immune system: Lactoferrin is rich in iron, which can promote the development and function of infant immune system, enhance resistance and prevent infectious diseases.
2. Promote intestinal health: Lactoferrin can combine with harmful substances in the intestine, such as heavy metal ions and bacteria, to prevent it from damaging intestinal mucosa, and at the same time promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and maintain intestinal health.
3. Promote the development of nervous system: Lactoferrin is rich in amino acids, especially essential amino acids such as tryptophan and tyrosine. It is a precursor of neurotransmitters and can promote the development and function of infant nervous system.
4. Promote bone growth and development: Lactoferrin is rich in minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which is very important for the growth and development of baby bones and can prevent skeletal diseases such as rickets.
In short, lactoferrin plays an important role in children's health, so it is suggested that mothers should ensure adequate nutritional intake during breastfeeding to ensure that their babies get enough lactoferrin and other nutrients.
