Cow colostrum: a natural boost for gut, waistline, hair, and skin?
NCT ID NCT07756866
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This 12-week trial is testing whether a daily scoop of bovine colostrum powder can improve gut health, body composition, hair growth, and skin appearance in generally healthy adults aged 21-47 who have concerns in these areas. Participants take the supplement every day and report changes in weight, waist size, and how they feel about their digestion, hair, skin, and overall well-being. The study is small and unblinded, so it will explore whether this supplement shows promise for everyday health and appearance.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bovine colostrum powder (Cowboy Colostrum)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement that supports gut health, weight management, and appearance in generally healthy adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage, unblinded study with no placebo group, so results may be influenced by expectations and may not generalize. The supplement is not a treatment for any disease.
