When I first tried lactoferrin in 2018 - on the advice of a scientist - I’d been looking for a natural remedy to stop the cycle of colds that skipped home with my two young sons and rampaged through our house. I’m a sceptical journalist, but two key points about lactoferrin made me curious: 1. It’s an anti-viral and anti-bacterial protein that our bodies produce every day to defend ourselves against germs 2. It’s one of the extraordinary ingredients found in mother’s milk that bolsters a newborn against infection (and, having had two babies myself, I’ve witnessed that immune-enhancing magic). So, that’s how lactoferrin can be sourced: from cow’s milk. We took it at the first sign of a tickle in the throat or a drip in the nose and it worked - we leapfrogged over the cold with little or no further symptoms. Convinced by the results at home and the scientific studies I read, I brought a team together to create Leapfrog IMMUNE: scientists, doctors, experts in the fields of immunomodulation, nutrition, pharmacy, formulation, wellness, and Renée Elliot, the founder of Planet Organic. We've added our second product to the range - Leapfrog SNOOZE - which eases anxiety, reduces stress and zaps sleep disturbance. Its hero ingredient, Lactium, is also sourced from milk and works using peptides that calm and relax a baby after a feed. So that you can sleep like a baby again. Stephanie
