I read a few months ago that taking 2 to 3 220mg Zinc Sulfate tablets would help restore taste buds. I have never heard mention of any form of Zinc aiding the saliva issues.

I decided to give it a shot to aid the taste buds and am still taking the tabs. I had a difficult time finding them as the local drugstores and WalMart did not carry them. They had plain Zinc supplements but not Zinc Sulfate which is different. I ordered several bottles through Amazon on the web. I can't actually tell if they are helping or not as I have nothing to compare to. I am over 8 months post Tx and the buds are still screwy for the most part but seem to be getting better very slowly.
