Women's Health and Lactoferrin: A Deep Dive into the Science

Most of the lactoferrin literature was generated with bovine lactoferrin, because that is what has been commercially available. The arrival of a human-identical option changes how that evidence base should be read. This review works through the science in full: the structural distinction between bovine and human lactoferrin, the four core mechanisms of action, and the evidence by life stage and by body system, with every claim attributed to a named source and effera®-specific findings labeled with their publication status.
