Lactoferrin ist ein eisenbindendes Protein (Glykoprotein) mit einer starken antimikrobiellen Aktivität gegen eine große Anzahl von Bakterien, Hefen, Pilzen, Parasiten und Viren[1]. Daher das zunehmende Interesse an der Verwendung von Lactoferrin zur Prävention oder als ergänzende Behandlung bei COVID-19 [2,3]. Lactoferrin wird jedoch auch von unserem eigenen Körper produziert. In diesem Artikel gehen wir ausführlicher darauf ein.
