What is lactoferrin and how does it relate to immune function?

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk, saliva, and mucosal secretions. It has been studied for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, including its ability to support natural killer cell and neutrophil function.

What dosage of lactoferrin has been used in clinical studies?

Clinical trials have used bovine lactoferrin at doses of 100–600 mg per day. For immune-related outcomes, 200–300 mg per day is a commonly studied range. Study durations vary from 4 weeks to 3 months.

About

A lactoferrina é uma glicoproteína ligadora de ferro que sequestra o ferro disponível para patógenos (ação bacteriostática), modula as respostas imunes inata e adaptativa, apoia a função imune ao estimular a atividade das células NK e neutrófilos, e reforça a barreira imune intestinal. Uma metanálise demonstrou redução de 40 a 45% nas chances de infecções do trato respiratório.

How It Works

Iron-binding glycoprotein that sequesters iron from pathogens (bacteriostatic); modulates innate and adaptive immune responses; enhances NK cell and neutrophil activity; supports intestinal immune barrier function.
