Could a soy supplement in baby food ward off asthma?
NCT ID NCT05667701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a soy isoflavone supplement to infants at high risk for asthma can reduce their chance of developing the condition. Researchers will give 65 babies either the supplement or a placebo twice daily for 7 months, tracking wheezing episodes and immune markers. The goal is to see if this simple dietary addition can shift the immune response away from an asthma-prone pattern.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement to help prevent asthma in high-risk infants.
