The ability of a hen egg white bovine colostrum supplement to prevent severe COVID-19 was tested in a double-blind randomized control study.
Adults with mild/moderate COVID-19, risk factors for severe disease, and within 5 days of symptom onset were assigned to the intervention (n = 77) or placebo (n = 79) arms. Symptoms were documented until day 42 post-enrollment and viral clearance was assessed at 11-13 days post-symptom onset.
One participant developed severe COVID-19. The severe-type symptom score was lower in the active arm at 11-13 days post-symptom onset (p = 0.049). Chest pain, fever/chills, joint pain/malaise, and sore throat were significantly less frequent in the active arm. No differences in viral clearance were observed.
The intervention reduced symptoms of mild/moderate COVID-19.

在一项双盲随机对照研究中测试了补充鸡蛋白牛初乳预防重症新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的能力。
将患有轻/中度COVID-19、有重症疾病风险因素且症状出现后5天内的成年人分配至干预组(n = 77)或安慰剂组(n = 79)。记录症状直至入组后42天,并在症状出现后11 - 13天评估病毒清除情况。
一名参与者发展为重症COVID-19。在症状出现后11 - 13天,干预组的重症型症状评分较低(p = 0.049)。干预组中胸痛、发热/寒战、关节疼痛/不适和喉咙痛的发生频率显著较低。未观察到病毒清除方面的差异。
该干预措施减轻了轻/中度COVID-19的症状。
