A complete dosing guide for lactoferrin supplementation — covering standard and advanced protocols, enteric-coated vs. liposomal forms, daily vs. pulsed dosing, and the best combinations with other longevity supplements.
Lactoferrin is not a supplement you take carelessly at whatever dose the bottle suggests. The difference between a dose that provides meaningful anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects and one that merely delivers an expensive placebo comes down to understanding three things: the form you choose, the dose you take, and how you integrate it with the rest of your protocol.
This guide is the clinical protocol companion to our Lactoferrin intervention overview (Good evidence) and our scientific review of lactoferrin and inflammaging. Here we get specific: exact doses, timing, form selection, stacking protocols, and monitoring biomarkers.

200–300 mg/day (standard dose):
400–600 mg/day (advanced dose):
