Lactoferrin and Lactoferrin + Iron: work well together
Each entry’s own grades, side by side. A grade says how strong the evidence is for one outcome — it does not rank one entry over the other.
Compound or practice
Lactoferrin
An iron-binding milk protein with real signals for gut immunity, iron status and acne — versatile, promising, still maturing.
Grade C3 graded outcomesrevised Jul 10, 2026
A structured monograph in Prometheus's bundled library. Its grades are the monograph's own reading of the evidence, not a peer-reviewed review.
Interaction
Lactoferrin + Iron: work well together
Improves iron status with better GI tolerance than iron salts alone.
Grade C0 graded outcomesrevised Jul 10, 2026
Assembled by the app from other entries in this library. It adds no evidence of its own — follow the links to the entries it draws on.
Graded in both
Outcomes are matched by name. Two entries can describe the same outcome in different words, so one listed further down may still be graded in the other.
No outcome has the same name in both entries. They may still overlap under different wording — read the two lists below.
