Lactoferin is a multifunctional protein with antimicrobial activity. It is an iron binding protein which performs as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti fungal and antiviral agent. lactoferrin is found in human breast milk, and many mucosal secretions such as tears and saliva. Small amounts of lactoferrin are also found in cow milk. lactoferrin contains approximately 700 amino acids.  

I Discovered lactoferrin for Acne

I stumbled across lactoferrin in my journey to find an effective acne treatment. It was after my experience of the highly toxic drug Roaccutane that I decided to go in search of a more natural remedy. I just felt as though the course of Roaccutane I had completed had taken something out of my body. It just didn't feel right exposing my system to that level of toxicity, and I wanted to counteract that with something natural and good for the body.

Immune Boosting Supplement

I came across Lactoferrin, marketed as an immune boosting supplement. I conducted more research and found a couple of articles which linked it to the treatment of acne. So I decided to try t for myself, (Lets face it I had tried everything else, so why give up now). I purchased my first batch of Lactoferrin.

There is no way around the fact, Lactoferrin is expensive. I spent about a week searching for the best price I could find. The best I came up with was £30 for approximately 1 months supply. I began taking 500mg per day. One 250 mg capsule in the morning, and one in the evening.

Lactoferrin - Acne Results!

Within a week I could feel the difference. If you suffer from acne to any degree then you are probably familiar with the aching feeling you get in the areas your skin suffering from inflammation. This feeling disappeared, and slowly but surely my skin began to clear. After 2, then 3 weeks the inflammations had not returned and my skin was steadily healing, and more so, I had not experienced any more breakouts!!!

However I was not excited yet. I recalled the different types of antibiotics I had tried in the past, and resistance. I was somehow expecting that my body would become resistant to Lactoferrin and my bad skin return. To this day that has not happened. I still take the same dose of lactoferrin and feel good about it, and my skin.

Years Later

Years later I enjoy waking up in the morning and shaving because my skin feels fresher than it ever did, and NO side effects. Not one. Lactoferrin is all natural and full of goodness. I take Lactoferrin while using a mild soap, and a Tea tree based moisturiser and this keeps me very happy.
