Effect of Natural Food on Gut Microbiome and Phospholipid Spectrum of Immune Cells in COVID-19 Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Freeze-dried Mare Milk (Saumal) for COVID-19. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The efficacy of natural foods such as freeze-dried mare's milk (Saumal) in post-COVID syndrome therapy has not been studied. The literature review has shown that researchers have focused more on evidence-based medications and less on natural products. Some raw foods, such as freeze-dried mare's milk, contribute to forming complete immune complexes and have antioxidant, membrane stabilizing, and antiviral effects. The use of Saumal proved its effectiveness in patients suffering from chronic hepatitis C. After 4 weeks of using freeze-dried mare's milk, the biodiversity of the intestinal microbiome was increased. The content of bacteria secreting short-chain fatty acids also increased. The study aims to confirm these effects at the gene level in patients who underwent COVID-19. This study will allow us to develop a highly evidence-based component of rehabilitation therapy in patients after COVID-19.

Timeline
Interventions
Freeze-dried Mare Milk (Saumal) is frequently reported for having therapeutic and dietary properties associated with specific chemical composition and certain physical properties of the product. It contains a total of about 40 biologically active components, the most important of them vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6, and B12, amino acids, enzymes, and trace elements (low molecular weight peptides, lactalbumins, and globulins). Saumal will be administered to patients at a dose of 25 grams of dry powder per 200 ml of water, 2 times a day, 30 minutes before the meal, for 4 weeks.
