Lactoferrin is a vital part of your body’s innate immune response
The Guardian
PHASE 01
Lactoferrin stands guard at the gateways of the digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems – in fluids, tears and saliva – ready to neutralise viruses or bacteria as they appear. It slows their growth, prevents them from reproducing, or kills them outright.
The Reinforcements
PHASE 02
If pathogens enter, then lactoferrin recruits other immune cells for tactical support, stimulating the immune system into action. This backup team is our body’s second shield against viruses and microbes and takes care of us if we have an infection.
The Last Stand
PHASE 03
When the threat is under control lactoferrin slows down the backup response. Lactoferrin encourages homeostasis– body balance – by calling off the recruits and preventing our immune system from going into rescue overdrive.
“The active ingredients of Leapfrog IMMUNE have been carefully selected and crafted into a formula that I believe to be scientifically superior to similar products on the market.”

Lactium® is the key to relaxation and better sleep
The Inspiration
PHASE 01
A baby’s gut produces digestive enzymes that can break down the casein in milk into a pool of peptides that have a soothing effect on the body and brain. As our digestive system matures, we lose the calming effects of drinking milk as adults.
The Challenge
PHASE 02
French scientists developed a method to unlock milk’s relaxing quality. Using tryptic hydrolysis technique, they broke milk's molecular bonds into a chain of 10 peptides – a decapeptide – called α-casozepine. Lactium® was born.
The Breakthrough
PHASE 03
GABA is a chemical in the brain that acts as a brake to calm the nervous system, reducing fear, anxiety and stress. Lactium® is shown to bind to GABAA receptors to allow the increased flow of GABA without side effects, sedation, or addiction.
The efficacy of Lactium® is supported by 9 clinical studies on over 500 volunteers that indicate an effect on stress and sleep. In a consumer study, 8 our 10 participants reported an improvement.
Dive deeper into the science of each ingredient
Lactium®
Lactium® is a clever milk protein hydrolysate that contains alpha-casozepine, a bioactive decapeptide with soothing properties that can help with stress and sleep.
Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is an awesome natural anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory iron-binding protein that supports the immune system and gut microflora.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is a dream-enhancing vitamin that aids in the production of serotonin and dopamine (the happy hormones) and melatonin (the sleep hormone).
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is vital to your body’s effective immune response. It also helps with stress and heals wounds – closing the doorway to infection-causing bacteria - and supports collagen production.
Zinc
Zinc is an immunity-boosting powerhouse that combats colds and fights inflammation, all while creating new cells and helping us process food efficiently.
Vitamin D
A sunshine vitamin your body makes naturally, but rarely gets enough of. Vitamin D supports your immune cells, helps your body absorb calcium for strong bones, and plays a quiet but essential role in balancing energy and mood.
Vitamin E
A powerful antioxidant that works to protect your cells from everyday damage. Vitamin E shields your immune cells from oxidative stress, supports your skin's natural barrier, and helps your body's defence system stay sharp.
Vitamin K2
A lesser-known vitamin that works as a traffic controller for calcium in your body. Where Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium, K2 directs it - into your bones and teeth where it belongs. Together, D and K2 are a dynamite duo.
Vitamin B12
A vital vitalmin that plays a crucial role in brain function and energy production. With good B12 levels, you are better equipped to maintain sharp mental focus during the day.
L-Theanine
Ever noticed how a cup of green tea makes you feel calm yet alert? That's L-Theanine at work. It helps you focus on what matters, without feeling stressed or jittery.
