Lactobacillus acidophilus is a type of lactic acid-producing bacteria that is commonly found in the human gut, as well as in other areas of the body such as the mouth and vagina. L. acidophilus can also be found in fermented foods such as yogurt and kefir. It is commonly utilized in probiotic dietary supplements as it is considered a "friendly" or "beneficial" bacteria because it helps to maintain the balance of microorganisms in the body, and is purported to help improve digestion and boost the immune system. Some studies have suggested that L. acidophilus may also have a role in preventing and treating certain conditions such as diarrhea, vaginal yeast infections, and eczema.

Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein that has the ability to attach to iron. It is present in various bodily fluids like colostrum, nasal secretions, intestinal secretions, genital secretions, tears, saliva, and even seminal fluid in humans and animals. Neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, also release lactoferrin. This versatile protein can be obtained from human or bovine milk, and it can also be extracted from rice through recombinant technology.
