Kalata B1 vs Lactoferricin

Kalata B1 vs Lactoferricin — mechanism, half-life, dosing, and research status compared. Which is right for your protocol?

Kalata B1
Antimicrobial Peptide

Kalata B1 is the prototype cyclotide - a cyclic peptide with a head-to-tail backbone cyclization and three disulfide bonds forming a cystine knot topology. Isolated from the plant Oldenlandia affinis, which is traditionally used in Africa to accelerate childbirth (uterotonic use)...

Lactoferricin
Antimicrobial Peptide

Lactoferricin B (LfcinB) is a 25-residue antimicrobial peptide released from the N-terminal region of bovine lactoferrin by pepsin digestion in the stomach. The core hexapeptide RRWQWR contains the minimal active unit....
