The first beer for cancer patients

Non-alcoholic drinks, containing lots of vitamins, are prepared with a sweeter taste for cancer patients who suffer from taste damage due to chemotherapy.

This special beer was invented by Jana Drexlerova , CEO of Mamma Help - a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting breast cancer women in the Czech Republic and her colleague Tereza Sverakova.

Sverakova has undergone harsh chemotherapy when suffering from breast cancer. More than anyone else, she understood the terrible side effects of chemotherapy. In addition to causing nausea, hair loss, and chemotherapy also affect her taste, making food and drink taste bitter, salty, bland and unpleasant odors.
