This study shows lactoferrin is broadly antifungal against yeasts and synergizes potently with amphotericin B, even in resistant strains. It disrupts fungal virulence and reduces drug burden, highlighting its therapeutic potential.

This review explores lactoferrin’s anti-nociceptive potential through key neuroimmune pathways and highlights its utility as an adjunct to opioids. Its mechanistic effects on RAF6–FκB, O–cGMP, and opioid receptors support its role in microbiome-relevant pain modulation.

This review highlights lactoferrin’s role as a dual-function immune modulator in microbial infections. It influences inflammation, supports microbiome balance, and enhances barrier integrity, with applications ranging from gut sepsis to respiratory infections and inflammatory diseases.

This review outlines lactoferrin’s dual function in modulating energy metabolism, including glucose control, lipid regulation, and microbiome interaction, positioning it as a safe, multifunctional nutraceutical for managing metabolic disorders.

This review highlights lactoferrin’s potent role in regulating iron metabolism in cancer, reducing oxidative stress, and restoring gut microbiota balance—making it a promising adjunct in oncologic care, especially in managing cancer-related anemia and inflammation.

This review outlines lactoferrin’s potent antioxidant, iron-regulating, and neuroprotective effects across systems. It underscores its therapeutic potential in oxidative stress-related diseases and its modulatory role in microbiome dynamics and host immunity.

This review details how lactoferrin modulates inflammation, recruits immune cells, and bridges innate and adaptive responses—supporting its role as a microbiome-relevant therapeutic agent.

This review highlights lactoferrin’s prebiotic, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory roles in gut health, showcasing its potential as a therapeutic adjunct for microbiome-targeted interventions, especially in conditions involving dysbiosis and inflammation.

This review highlights lactoferrin’s immunomodulatory role in shaping innate and adaptive responses, with significant implications for neonatal health, microbial defense, and inflammation control. It underlines lactoferrin’s microbiome relevance and clinical potential as a natural immune support agent.

Lactoferrin is a key immunomodulatory glycoprotein that bridges innate and adaptive immunity. It regulates oxidative stress, curbs inflammation, and supports mucosal immune integrity, showing promise for microbiome-focused interventions in infections, IRS, and immune dysfunction.
