Hen egg white bovine colostrum supplement reduces symptoms of mild/moderate COVID-19: a randomized control trial: Supplementary files

Aim: The ability of a hen egg white bovine colostrum supplement to prevent severe COVID-19 was tested

in a double-blind randomized control study. Methods: Adults with mild/moderate COVID-19, risk factors

for severe disease, and within 5 days of symptom onset were assigned to the intervention (n = 77) or

placebo (n = 79) arms. Symptoms were documented until day 42 post-enrollment and viral clearance was

assessed at 11–13 days post-symptom onset. Results: One participant developed severe COVID-19. The

severe-type symptom score was lower in the active arm at 11–13 days post-symptom onset (p = 0.049).

Chest pain, fever/chills, joint pain/malaise, and sore throat were significantly less frequent in the active

arm. No differences in viral clearance were observed. Conclusion: The intervention reduced symptoms of

mild/moderate COVID-19.
