What is Bovine lactoferrin?
An iron-binding glycoprotein from milk with published antiviral and immune-modulating effects. It may help by limiting viral attachment, supporting mucosal defenses, and shaping inflammatory responses.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
viral attachment blockade
iron sequestration
mucosal immunity support
anti-inflammatory modulation
Research Summary
Lactoferrin has a long literature in innate immunity, mucosal biology, and antiviral defense. Human and preclinical studies suggest it can interfere with viral entry and support barrier function in a variety of settings.
