Could a glass of special milk help prevent colon cancer?
NCT ID NCT04824053
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a special milk called UNICLA-A2 can reduce inflammation and improve gut health in people at high risk for colorectal cancer who have already had polyps removed. The milk comes from cows with a specific protein type and is enriched with omega-3 and selenium. Over 3 months, 34 participants will drink either this special milk or regular milk to see if it lowers inflammatory markers and supports a healthier gut microbiome.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UNICLA-A2 milk (from cows with A2 beta-casein, enriched with omega-3 and selenium)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a dietary approach to lower inflammation and cancer risk in people who have had colon polyps removed.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is just a dietary supplement, so any effect is likely modest.
