COVID-19 and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4): SARS-CoV-2 may bind and activate TLR4 to increase ACE2 expression, facilitating entry and causing hyperinflammation
Does not contain common allergens (yeast, wheat, corn, soy or milk)
Lactoferrin is therapeutic in its own right, with the ability to carefully transport iron within the body and provide antiviral and antimicrobial protection
In this context, the anti-inflammatory properties of PYC, particularly its inhibition of the TLR4NF-B signaling pathway, represent a critical link between redox regulation and immune modulation ( Recent translational preclinical studies have explored the use of PYC-based nanocomposites as a strategy to enhance the delivery of antiviral agents, including molnupiravir, for the treatment of COVID-19 ( Overall, PYCs antiviral effects are likely mediated by a combination of direct viral inhibition and host-directed mechanisms, including modulation of oxidative stress and immune responses
