AVELOR SUMMARY
for primary monograph. Iron-binding glycoprotein from breast milk with antimicrobial, immune-modulating, and iron-absorption-enhancing properties. Unique: lactoferrin DOES NOT feed pathogenic bacteria with iron (unlike iron supplements) because it sequesters iron from pathogens while delivering it to host cells.
