Could a Mitochondria-Boosting supplement beat multivitamins for preventing colds?
NCT ID NCT07622147
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special combination of supplements (sodium nucleinate, magnesium, vitamin B6, and high-dose vitamin D) can prevent respiratory infections like colds and flu better than standard multivitamins. Two hundred healthy male military recruits in Kazakhstan will take either the new supplement or a standard multivitamin daily for 30 days, and researchers will track infections and immune cell function over 6 months. The goal is to see if boosting the power source inside immune cells (mitochondria) can help prevent infections during the stressful adaptation period of military training.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sodium nucleinate, magnesium, vitamin B6, and vitamin D3 5000 IU
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a better prevention strategy for respiratory infections in high-risk groups like military recruits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to the general population. The intervention is a dietary supplement, so any effect is likely modest.
