I love lactoferrin !!!. t! P0 a! D/ t% x# F
6 a' J* c2 Q: y _. NIt's the best supplement ever, for me. All the folks I've recommended to take lactoferrin are very thankful. A month ago, my friend got the flu and she was feeling worse and worse, after a couple of days from the start of symptoms (i.e. passed the 48 hours to get Tamiflu). Her hubby was taking Lactoferrin (per my suggestion to get rid of his frequent eye inflammations). They had a bottle of lactoferrin readily available. Thus, she took some lactoferrin and became all better within 2 days. She was delighted, as the flu normally stays and is miserable for a week to 10 days. This friend also tried lactoferrin a few months ago, since it works so well for her hubby's eye stye, as well as keeping him healthy when the kids come home with the cold and flu germs. However, taking lactoferrin on an empty stomach (per the direction of the Radiance Lactoferrin) gave her a tummy ache. So, she took it with food for the flu and it worked very well.

I believe that it's helpful regardless whether you take it with or without food. I take it whenever it is most convenient. I take one or two capsules, depending on needs (e.g. if a Stye is coming, or my throat is feeling a little sore, or if I am flying somewhere, or even attending a big party, I would take 2 capsules.)

- O, W, m: m% R$ oA reviewer from Washington who has "been taking for years" wrote in June, 2010 (ref. iherb) said: " . . . Always take at the very beginning of anything time I am feeling like something is coming on and it stops it dead in its tracks. Everyone in my family, including 3 children, take this product and it has worked well for all. I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night if sore throat, runny nose, or achy, etc. until a day after symptoms stop which is usually only a day or two now. This is an immune boosting product that really works."8 j9 [! H% K2 v- z& ~! o' Q

For the past year, I've been taking the Lactoferrin by Radiance (from New Zealand). It said: Two capsules daily, taken on an empty stomach. Each capsule contains 226mg of lactoferrin (from 250mg bovine colostrum protein extract).9 O/ M* @. P% A' N& Q

As for the bone building benefits, in case you haven't seen the review below, (ref. Amazon.com). It's rather interesting:

% N& ^& h: H t' G" . . . One potential additional medical use for lactoferrin is to accelerate the healing of broken bones. This has not yet been studied, but it would make sense, given it's ability to increase bone growth. I have two instances of anecdotal evidence that it works. 1 )A friend was thrown from her horse and broke 9 ribs and a lumbar vertebra. Her doctor said her bone healing was "amazing," especially because she had borderline osteopenia at the time of her accident, and at 12 weeks, he said she had fully recovered. 2) My aunt (age 82) fell and broke her leg a few months ago. At her 9 week check-up, the x-rays showed that the bone healing was 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule. Both women began taking lactoferrin (250 mg/day) soon after their injuries occurred. . . ."( k!
