New to Lactoferrin – How Much and When Should I Start?

Posted by aspiring_codes in Beginner Questions - 2 points, 0 comments.

_vm I'm new to peptides and just found out about lactoferrin for gut and immune support. I read the profile that says 200‑600 mg daily, 1‑2 times a day, but nothing about whether it’s better on an empty stomach or with food. I’m on the West Coast, so I usually take my supplements in the morning.

I’m a little nervous about GI discomfort; I’ve had mild bloating with other peptides before. Also, I’m not sure if I should just rinse a capsule with water or if there’s a reconstitution step for powders. Could anyone walk me through a basic protocol?

What do you mean by “1-2 times a day” – is that split or just two separate doses? I’d love to hear what you all do, especially if you’ve experienced side effects or found a timing that worked best. Thanks!
