Baseline Characteristics

The participants were individuals who had xerostomia symptoms selected among the patients undergoing follow up visits at the Kagoshima University hospital between July 7, 2016 and January 31, 2019. Exclusion criteria were: (a) history of radiation therapy or chemotherapy; (b) history of food allergy, including pineapple; (c) schedule of oral surgical operations, including extraction of teeth, during the research period; and (d) age below 20 year.

Participant flow

In this study, participants and researchers were double blinded. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups; namely, Sequence 1, a group that took GCP tablets first and placebo tablets then (GCP-placebo); and Sequence 2, a group that took tablets in the reverse order (placebo-GCP).

Adverse events

none

Outcome measures

The oral moisture level, xerostomia symptoms, and number of fungiform papillae were evaluated before (G1 and P1) and after (G2 and P2) taking the GCP and placebo test sample for two weeks, respectively.
