Cow colostrum may shield kids from recurrent UTIs
NCT ID NCT06164600
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a supplement made from bovine colostrum (the first milk from cows) can prevent repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. Sixty children with a history of recurrent UTIs took part. The goal was to see if this natural prebiotic could reduce the number of infections and offer a non-antibiotic prevention option.
