Savor Saver

Idea

One of chemotherapy's cruelest side effects is invisible. It steals the taste of food. We turned a native Ecuadorian berry known for its taste-restoring properties, into a line of sugar-free candies that helped patients enjoy food again and get the nutrition they needed to keep fighting.

Results

Patients in the initial study reported positive effects at mealtime • Distributed free through public and private hospitals in Ecuador

• 10+ international awards, including Cannes Lions, The One Show, Clio, Clio Health, D&AD, and London International Awards.
