Summary

This study looked at whether a supplement called recombinant bovine lactoferrin (rbLf) can help healthy adults better regulate iron, improve gut health, and boost immune function. About 92 active adults aged 18-42 took either the supplement, a natural milk-derived version, or a placebo daily for 4 weeks. Researchers measured changes in iron levels, red blood cells, and exercise performance through blood tests and treadmill runs.
