Camel milk vs. cow milk: which helps athletes recover faster?
NCT ID NCT07491705
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether drinking camel milk after intense exercise helps healthy men recover better than cow milk or water. Twelve recreationally active men did cycling tests and drank one of the three beverages. Researchers measured how long they could cycle, heart rate, muscle soreness, and inflammation markers. The goal was to see if camel milk improves recovery and performance, but the study is small and only in men, so results are preliminary.
