First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily dose of Taiwanese Green Propolis, a natural bee-derived supplement, can improve blood fat levels, reduce fatigue, and enhance quality of life in people who have completed treatment for oral cavity cancer. Participants take either propolis capsules or a placebo for 12 weeks, with follow-up assessments including blood tests, questionnaires, and physical performance measures. The goal is to see if this supplement can help manage common post-treatment issues like high cholesterol and tiredness.
