Holy hell, lactoferrin has held iron deficiency anemia at bay for 10 years and now I'm showing pretty severe deficiency for the first time since around onset.

You can't do iron infusion in anemia of chronic illness + iron deficiency anemia... uhhh where my hematologists at

tysm, if you search me and lactoferrin you'll find it

If you can't simply eat iron shavings, because that rallies pathogens -- then what?

Lactoferrin -- which has a heme core and which ALSO boosts response to viral infection -- is our intriguing maybe-answer: 🧪 #SciSky #MedSky #MECFS #LongCOVID

New preprint from our lab led by fantastic graduate student @titas10.bsky.social, in which we retrace the emergence of antimicrobial function in the mammalian protein lactoferrin.

Lactoferrin also helps with gut stuff so... possibly both

“This proof-of-concept study revealed that MEP & lactoferrin, when administered 3 months after initial infection in patients with a new diagnosis of #LongCovid , may have a positive impact on improving Long COVID symptoms in children during follow-up evaluations”

Lactoferrin not only supplies iron but increases the uptake of iron by 60-some-odd percent. Moreover, it INCREASES immune response, so even if your angry pathogens get some, you're likely to grab more. (BC: 5/12) #MECFS #LongCOVID #anemia

Lactoferrin is supposed to help with this better than iron supps apparently but I've never tried. Ordering some and will report back in a couple months if it works
My hair was at its best right after my iron infusion a few years ago. My iron numbers are low again & i think that is contributing to my hair thinning. Back to working iron supplements & vitamin C back in my diet.

Falls es wen interessiert, nach unzähligen anderen Versuchen über 5 Jahre ist dies mein fixer Stack gegen Verdauungsprobleme mit #mecfs :

Perenterol/Yomogi
Lactoferrin
Natriumbutyrat
Nortase
Spermidin
Zink-Carnosin

In Akutphasen keine Getreide- oder Milchprodukte.

Warum kein Verweis auf Lactoferrin, dass deutlich besser vertragen wird als orale Eisenpräparate und bei mildem Mangel ähnlich erfolgreich ist?

Quick poll:

Working on a paper on #MECFS and responsible for the OTC stuff. I'm talking about CoQ10, B vitamins, Vit D, lactoferrin, a few others. Anything helped you that's available OTC?

Essentially copied the RECOVER TLC one, but this is even shorter.

in anemia of chronic illness, we sequester iron in order to starve out pathogens

lactoferrin helps b/c it has a heme core but is also anti-infective. it also helps iron absorption

if you flood your system with iron like that, many of us get a pathogenic/inflammatory bloom... makes us v v sick

Maybe lactoferrin re: the iron?
