Visceral fat reduction by enteric-coated lactoferrin
-
What about liposomal lactoferrin? Hard to find any enteric-coated products in the EU.
Also, is apolactoferrin better or worse from a Peaty perspective? They have different effects on iron metabolism.

@revenant - It hard to find enteric-coated here in the US as well. I found one product on Amazon that is produced in Japan. It is called "Doctors Mega Lactoferrin – 120 Enteric-Coated Tablets".
As shown in the image above, the coating delivers the lactoferrin to the colon.

See another thread about enteric-coated lactoferrin. I was hoping not to find any negative effects of translocating the lactoferrin delivery to the colon.

I’ve had positive experiences with lactoferrin supplementation, and decided to give the enteric version a shot.
My personal experimentation with regular lactoferrin has resulted in better sleep, more frequent morning erections, and vivid dreams and recall, (a positive for me since I practice lucid dreaming). It also seems to have a strong anti-inflammatory effect for me. I’m particularly interested in the enteric coating to see what anti-inflammatory effects this might have on the small intestine. My wife has had issues with SIBO in the past and I was hypothesizing that perhaps a reduction in iron, (as lactoferrin is known to bind) especially in the small intestine might be a more holistic/environmental change dissuading bacterial colonization in the area vs antibiotics alone with no change in environment.
I bought enough to trial this for a few months, (the studies were 8weeks).

Great, let us know if the enteric coating produce any additional effects.

I was never diagnosed with SIBO, but have been eating a special high potency yogurt made using L. Reuteri bacteria. It is not a cure but it keeps my sensitivity to nightshades at bay. I have written about it here. Dr. Davis has recently written a book about the benefits of the yogurt entitled "Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight?
In addition, YouTube has many videos about L. Reuteri yogurt.

@evan-hinkle hey buddy, it’s been a while, hope all is well
What dose were you taking of regular lactoferrin? Were you taking it on an empty stomach? Also which brand were you using? Thanks bud -
@Ismail hey man, doing well! I was taking 500mg Jarrow freeze-dried lactoferrin.
And just a general update: I’ve been taking the enteric coated for a few months now, and I actually think I prefer the ones I was taking before. I replicated the study above taking 300mg of the enteric coated, and really didn’t notice anything at all, (which is odd because I respond to most everything I try, (good or bad)).
TMI: I saw an undigested enteric coated lactoferrin in my stool last week, (great, they’re making it past the stomach-bad, I’m literally shitting my money away…).
Since this event I’ve begun chewing the enteric coated pills, (now we’re really defeating the purpose, lol) and this has not made any difference. Still not noticing any effect. I’ll swap back to my old brand for a month and see what I think.

@Ismail oh, and not a totally empty stomach. I took it with 16oz of milk, (but that made sense to me because it’s. Milk protein).

Lol! I guess the enteric coating is working erm too well!

Yes will def be interesting to see how you respond if you go back again
