A healthy intestine is essential for the well-being of humans and animals. The period after birth is a very important phase of development, as the infant moves from a protected environment in the uterus to one with many of unknown antigens and pathogens. In that period, mother’s milk plays an important role, as it contains an abundance of biologically active components. Among these components, the iron-binding glycoprotein, lactoferrin (LF), has demonstrated a variety of important benefits in infants and adults, including the promotion of intestinal health. This review article aims to provide a compilation of all the information related to LF and intestinal health, in infants and adults. 000126543 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/A20-23R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/AGL2017-82987 000126543 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000126543 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/review$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000126543 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-6546-6149$$aBellés, Andrea$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000126543 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-5306-9365$$aGrasa, Laura$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000126543 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5964-823X$$aSánchez, Lourdes$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000126543 7102_ $$11012$$2410$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
