15.01.2022 Fight COVID-19 with a Glass of Milk!!! Did you know cows milk contains lactoferrin, which is a protein that helps to fight off viruses. Lactoferrin functions i...n the bodys immunomodulatory activity, affecting various immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages, and purportedly preventing viruses from recognising and invading host cells, conveying a level of resistance.
