OMJ! Tropical Sparkling Fruit Juice Cans, 330 ml, Pack of 24

Product Information

To our knowledge, this is the first experimental evidence showing that alleviation of dry mouth by saliva substitutes could improve swallowing ability and clinical nutritional status. Furthermore, OMJ, a new edible saliva substitute, was more effective in relieving symptoms of dry mouth and improving swallowing ability than those of GC, a topically applied saliva gel. Dry mouth and dysphagia (swallowing difficulty) are found in 40–60% of elderly people in assisted living facilities and nursing homes [ 22, 23]. Moreover, 90% of post-radiation cancer survivors reported xerostomia and dysphagia associated with malnutrition [ 7]. Therefore, the findings of this study highlight the importance of dry mouth management as a critical part in nutritional therapy especially for cancer patients.

After 1 and 2 months of interventions, subjective and objective dry mouth scores, subjective swallowing problem scores, swallowing times, and clinical nutritional status in both groups were significantly improved ( p< 0.0001). Compared to GC, OMJ group had higher percent improvement in all outcome measures ( p< 0.001) except swallowing time and clinical nutritional status. Interestingly, subjective dry mouth scores were significantly correlated with subjective swallowing problem scores ( r = 0.5321, p< 0.0001).

Soft DrinksFigure 2f illustrated significantly positive correlation between subjective dry mouth scores and subjective swallowing problem score ( r = 0.5321, p< 0.0001). The data suggested that symptoms of dry mouth were associated with swallowing difficulty. And reduction in dry mouth scores could be linked with a decrease in swallowing problem.

Energy intake Emilien C, Hollis JH (2017) A brief review of salient factors influencing adult eating behaviour. Nutr Res Rev 30(2):233–246 Patient Generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) was used to evaluate nutritional status of cancer patients as described [ 17]. It is divided into two components, i.e., the medical history and the physical examination. The presence of nutrition-related signs and symptoms and short-term weight loss. Nutrition status was categorized as A (well-nourished), B (moderately malnourished), and C (severely malnourished). Nutrition triage scores were categorized to needs for nutrition therapy as (0-1) no interventions required, (2-3) patients and family education required, (4-8) interventions by dietitians required, and (≥ 9) nutrition therapy critically needed [ 17].

Since the complete data from 62 participants provided adequate power of over 0.9, per protocol analysis was used with no needs for imputation. All statistical analyses were performed by a researcher who was blinded to randomization. Graphing and statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism v. 7. Power analysis and sample size calculation were performed using G-power v.3.0.10. A significance level of 5% ( p< 0.05) was used for all analyses. Normality of data distribution was assessed by D’Agostino and Pearson normality test. Participant characteristics with numerical scale were compared between groups by using unpaired t test. Comparison of baseline categorical data was analyzed by using Fisher’s exact test and Chi-square test as specified. Repeated measure ANOVA with Greenhouse-Geisser correction followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test was used to compare changes in numerical outcome measures among 0, 1, and 2 months in the same group. Changes in objective dry mouth scores, subjective swallowing problem scores, and swallowing times after intervention were compared and categorized as same (similar scores to baseline), better (lower scores than baseline), or worse outcomes (higher scores than baseline). Comparison of outcome measures between OMJ and GC groups at the same time point was analyzed by using unpaired t test and chi-square test for numerical and categorical data, respectively. Correlation between subjective dry mouth score and subjective swallowing difficulty score were analyzed by using Pearson correlation analysis. Although the changes in energy intakes of both groups were not statistically significant, there was tendency of increase in time-dependent manner. Since the saliva substitutes contain no calories, the increased energy intake likely resulted from improved swallowing ability. Though the swallowing ability has improved after a few months of intervention, eating behavior and body weight may require longer time to be changed [ 25]. Future studies should increase the duration of interventions to 3 months or 6 months to observe changes in dietary intake and body weight. In addition, changes in type and texture of food after using edible saliva gel should be systemically assessed using established system such as National Dysphagia Diet (NDD) or International Dysphagia Diet Standard Initiatives (IDDSI) categories [ 26, 27].

The study was performed according to the Declaration of Helsinki and ICH-GCP. All participants were randomized with minimization by age, sex, subjective dry mouth score, and BMI into two groups, i.e., study group (OMJ) and control group (GC). The outcome measures were evaluated at 0, 1, and 2 months after interventions. The primary outcome measure included subjective dry mouth scores. The secondary outcome measures comprised objective dry mouth scores, subjective swallowing problem score, water-swallowing time, clinical nutritional status, energy intake, and body weight. Throughout the study, all participants were asked to daily record their use of product in the subject diaries to ensure adherence to the intervention protocol. Any adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, swollen lips, and a rash were recorded. Outcomes Subjective dry mouth score
