Abstract

With the development of economy and society, people have paid more and more attention to immune nutrition in recent years, such as vitamins, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, nucleotides, lactoferrin (LF) and so on.These nutritions can promote the growth, maintain the balance of metabolism, regulate the immunity of the body, and maintain the homeostasis of the human body.As a multifunctional protein, lactoferrin is the first line of defense in the non-specific immune system of mammals.Lactoferrin also has functions and properties of microbe resistance, immunomodulation, regulating intestinal flora, promoting the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal cells.This review summarizes the related researches on lactoferrin supplementation in neonates and infants.

Key words
