Lactoferrin plus SB is therefore more appropriate for acute treatment where a broader, multi-target approach would be most beneficial. By contrast, SB Floractiv is more suitable for chronic conditions as it increases sIgA, short-chain fatty acids and the activity of brush border enzymes to strengthen gastrointestinal immunity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eReferences\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReferences: BioCeuticals Lactoferrin Plus SB\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[1] Guillot CC, Bacallao EG, Dominguez MS, et al.
