Jarrow Formulas Lactoferrin 250 mg - Immune-Supporting Glycoprotein - For Healthy Immune System Support & Iron Absorption - Freeze Dried - Gluten Free - Non-GMO - 60 Capsules (Servings)

This brand is potent. Unlike a lot of other supplements where I just hope it’s doing something but can’t really tell, this stuff has a noticeable effect right away. Within the first few days, I experienced side effects of just feeling crummy, like my immune system took a dip. I’ve read other people experience the same thing at first, even though the dosage isn’t that big (that means it’s potent). I decided to take it every 2-3 days for a while until the side effects subsided, and now I’m taking it every day. I’ve noticed that, in general, I feel less stressed or anxious or depressed. That result by itself is a big deal and has a lot of positive downstream effects. Apparently lactoferrin does other cool stuff too. I guess I’ll find out.

I took an evvy test and learned I had 0% protective bacteria in my body. I was told to start taking a high rated lactoferrin in addition to my "good girl" probiotics and kefir. I did and this is the ONLY change I made to my supplements and diet. In 3 months time, I went from 0% to 23% protective bacteria which is a massive shift in my microbial gut. So much so, that my doctor even asked what I've done different.It was this. It's pricey for a probiotic but it clearly works so I'll keep shelling it out.

good

Feels like I have more energy throughout the day. Lacto Ferrin is supposed to allow your cells be able to “breath” (cellularly aspirate) better, to allow nutrients in and, let waste out. I certainly feel better, but don’t want to overdo it. Muscle recovery has also improved (after long hikes).

I have found this supplement to be one of the best for immune support from doing my research. I have had great immunity this time of year with this vs. not being on it. Those summer colds can be brutal. I won't be without it now and have subscribed.

10 stars! After over a decade of recurrent achilles tendon problems (plus heel spurs), it had gotten so painful that it often kept me awake night. I'd begun limping badly several months ago, which started causing sharp hip pain on the opposite side. I couldn't wear shoes because of the swelling, couldn't walk a quarter mile or be on my feet more than 20-30 minutes at a time -- my whole lifestyle was shut down. Went to yet another orthopedist, this time desperately demanding action, not more useless ice and rest and walking boot again, and am in the process of a workup for probable major achilles surgery, which I wanted done tomorrow!Meanwhile, I'd started taking 500 mg lactoferrin for a minor skin irritation - I'd read about it but had never used it before. Not only did the skin clear completely in 4 days, but now, a week after starting lactoferrin, the ankle/heel and the hip pain are unbelievably improved - occasional twinges or achiness, but where it was a constant 5-7 pain level plus 10-spikes before, it's mostly a 2-3 now. In addition, the swelling around the heel is going down - the tendon itself is thickened from scarring, but the reactive tenderness and inflammation is way, way down.Turns out there is emerging research that lactoferrin reduces pain as well as inflammation by interfering with pro-inflammatory cytokines, by balancing out the excess iron that can aggregate around inflammation or infection, and it seems to modify chronic and acute pain perception, in part by binding with brain-level opioid receptors.So now I'm perfectly OK waiting 6 weeks until after the Holidays for any surgery to repair the underlying damage... last week I might have killed anyone who suggested that.

Arrived promptly and the product is accurate

I wish I could leave this 0 stars. This product caused a horrific skin reaction. I have sensitive skin but I have no issues with dairy and have only ever had this type of reaction to moldy or other toxic products. I regularly eat cheese, eat yogurt daily, etc. one day after taking this for the first time (based on evvy coach suggestion to add lactoferrin) i woke up with the skin on my face BURNING. when i looked in the mirror, i had inflamed, red splotchy patches ALL over my face. I look like a clown. I’ve tried everything in my cabinet to bring the inflammation down and calm the redness. Nothing is working, not even cook water. This product is going right in the trash. don’t recommend what so ever if you’re sensitive to products and/or toxins. Idk what is actually in there but it’s horrible. Maybe toxic? Ew. 0/10. I have no idea why there are so many positive reviews. I will stick to products that are 3rd party tested, I don’t believe the ingredient list. Stay away!!!!
