How it helps those with Long COVID
How it helps those with Long COVID
Lactoferrin is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support normal immune function, healthy iron handling, and gut barrier integrity. By binding free iron and interacting with the gut environment, it can be one element in a broader plan for immune and digestive wellness that also includes nutrition, movement, and rest. Individual experiences vary, and supplements should be used in coordination with guidance from a clinician when needed.
Scientific Explanation
Scientific Explanation
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk and other secretions. By reversibly binding iron, it influences iron availability in the local environment and has been studied for its effects on microbial ecology and immune signaling. Lactoferrin can interact with receptors on immune and epithelial cells and has been investigated in relation to cytokine modulation and support of gut barrier function. These mechanisms have been explored primarily in the context of normal immune regulation, iron homeostasis, and gastrointestinal health, without establishing disease-specific treatment effects.
