Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Lactoglobulin, the major whey protein in bovine milk, has been used in nutritional support, particularly during convalescence, due to its high biological value and rich essential amino acid profile. Scientific evidence exists that whey proteins—including beta-lactoglobulin—support recovery after illness or surgery by providing easily digestible protein that helps maintain or rebuild lean body mass. Several studies have demonstrated that whey protein supplementation can enhance muscle protein synthesis, support immune function, and aid in restoring overall nutritional status during recovery periods. Beta-lactoglobulin also contains bioactive peptides with antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities, which may confer additional benefits in the context of convalescence. However, the direct evidence specifically for "lactoglobulin (unspecified)" as an isolated ingredient in convalescence is limited; most research pertains to whey protein as a whole or to beta-lactoglobulin in combination with other milk proteins. As such, while there is a scientific rationale and some supporting clinical data, the evidence is not robust or specific enough to warrant a higher score. The use of lactoglobulin for convalescence is thus scientifically plausible, but further clinical studies are necessary to establish efficacy and optimal dosing.
