Loss of Taste During Chemo
Chemotherapy can negatively affect taste buds and lead to taste distortions often referred to as “metal mouth”. This can lead to food aversions during meals, reduced food intake, and risk of malnutrition.
Malnutrition is associated with increase in complications and toxicity of treatment. It leads to worse treatment efficacy, poor disease prognosis, reduced functional status, reduced quality of life, and ultimately increased mortality of oncologic patients.
Miracle berry (Synsepalum dulcificum) has been found in clinical trials to be beneficial in masking and managing chemotherapy associated taste disturbances leading to improvement in food taste perception. This translates into increased food intake, thereby supporting improved nutritional status and mitigating associated risks.

Regular consumption of the miracle berry has been found in a clinical trial to contribute to reducing biomarkers of inflammation and cachexia (weight loss and muscle wasting) in malnourished patients with cancer and taste disorders.
Finally, the unique taste-modifying properties of the miracle berry help improve taste perceptions for low-sugar, sour or tart fruits, foods or drinks without the need to add sugar or sweetener. This helps to reduce consumption of sugar and processed foods while helping to enjoy healthy, low-sugar fruits and vegetables with cancer-fighting properties.
