Lactoferrin promotes antiviral efficacy
Lactoferrin-Functionalized Noble Metal Nanoparticles as New Antivirals for HSV-2 Infection.
Study examines lactoferrin effectiveness
We investigated the potential of lactoferrin, a powerful natural compound, to inhibit herpes simplex viruses, specifically HSV-2. Our approach involved testing silver and gold nanoparticles modified with lactoferrin, known as LF-Ag/AuNPs, to see if they could serve as novel treatments or microbicides for genital herpes.
In our experiments with human skin and vaginal cells, we observed that LF-Ag/AuNPs were much more effective than lactoferrin on its own at preventing the virus from attaching to and entering cells. Notably, when we pretreated cells with LF-AgNPs, they were better protected from infection.
In tests with infected mice, those treated with LF-Ag/AuNPs had significantly lower virus levels in vaginal tissues and spinal cords compared to those treated with just lactoferrin. The immune response appeared to be enhanced too, as evidenced by increased counts of specific immune cells.
Overall, our findings suggest that LF-Ag/AuNPs not only fight the virus but may also boost immune function, highlighting their potential as effective new antiviral treatments targeting mucosal surfaces.

Blessing for pets
After five years of searching for a solution, this product is it! I mixed it with L-Lysine in my pet's wet food, and together they have stopped all the sneezing and coughing from feline herpes. My cats are getting along better now, and he is feeling well. It’s a blessing!

Shortens duration
I read online that this can help shorten the duration of cold sores by inhibiting the herpes simplex 1 virus. When I felt the familiar tingling, I took a couple of pills, and the next morning the cold sore didn’t develop fully. It seems to do the job for what I intended!

Helped my cat
I bought these because L-Lysine wasn’t helping my cat's leaky eye (feline herpes). They definitely make a difference, although they haven’t completely eliminated the teariness, it no longer bothers her.
