Milk helping the fight against Covid-19

Placebo-controlled human clinical trials with chewable tablets containing 25% bovine lactoferrin are now likely to be carried out.

Laboratory tests have shown that bovine lactoferrin from cows’ milk exhibited a wide spectrum of antiviral activity against several Covid-19 strains.

There has been worldwide media publicity for the milk ingredient, after the antiviral properties of the milk ingredient were revealed in a recent research report in the Journal Of Dairy Science co-authored by Loren Ward, chief R&D officer at Glanbia Nutritionals, and University of Michigan researchers Jonathan Sexton, Jesse Wotring, and Reid Fursmidt.
