Can a breast-milk sugar supplement prevent colds and stomach bugs?
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a chewable supplement made from a natural sugar found in breast milk (2'-fucosyllactose) to see if it helps prevent colds and stomach bugs in young children who attend daycare or school. It is for healthy children between 1 and 4 years old.

This trial tests whether taking a daily probiotic can help healthy children and teens have fewer colds and other upper respiratory infections. If you've had at least three colds, sore throats, or sinus infections in the past year, this study might be a good fit.
This trial tests if a daily probiotic (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505) can help prevent upper respiratory infections (like colds and sore throats) in healthy children ages 3 to 12. If your child often gets sick, this supplement might reduce how often they catch a cold.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called AHCC® can help prevent colds and other respiratory infections in young children. If your child is in daycare, where germs spread easily, this supplement might help keep them healthier.
This trial tests whether a probiotic drink can help children aged 4-17 feel better when they have a cold or other upper respiratory infection. The probiotic contains two types of healthy bacteria that might reduce symptoms like coughing, fever, and a runny nose.
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement (a type of 'good bacteria') can help boost your immune system and reduce how often you get colds. If you are a teacher who frequently catches colds, this might help you feel better and miss fewer work days.
This trial tests whether a probiotic called Bacillus Coagulans SNZ 1969 can support the immune health of healthy children aged 6 to 12. Your child would take the probiotic or a placebo daily for a period while keeping their usual routine.
