PL Group : 1case (arthralgia of left ancle (1)) 5A Group : 3cases(Acute Gastroenteritis(1),diarrhea(1),Wheal(1))

<Primary endpoint: Evaluation of safety for patients with sequelae of COVID-19> There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of adverse events between the two groups (5A group and PL group). <Secondary endpoint> 1) Changes in VAS values for fatigue and rate of change In the PL group, there was no statistically significant variation from the screening period to the fourth week of the intake period (screening period: 54.23 +/- 20.65 [mean +/-SD]; intake period, fourth week: 60.78 +/- 16.30, P = 0.305). The 5A group also showed no statistically significant changes from the screening period to the fourth week of intake (screening period: 55.60 +/- 14.71 [mean +/-SD]; fourth week of intake: 54.43 +/- 17.02, P = 0.520). There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at all measurement points. 2) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index In the PL group, there were no statistically significant changes in PSQIG from Day 0 to Day 29 (Day 0: 8.6 +/- 2.8, Day 29: 8.2 +/- 2.9, P = 0.247). the 5A group also showed no statistically significant changes from Day 0 to Day 29 (Day 0: 7.3 +/- 2.4, Day 29: 7.2 +/- 2.3, P = 0.887). 3) Changes in COVID-19 posterior symptom scores There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups in terms of changes in COVID-19 sequelae symptom scores. 4) Change in EQ5D5L score 5A group showed a statistically significant improvement in QOL from Day 0 to Day 29 for "Today's ease of movement," "Today's state of normal activities," and "Today's state of anxiety and depressed mood" (P = 0.005, P = 0.003, and P = 0.033, respectively). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point for all items. In the VAS scale asking patient's self-rated health, the PL group showed a statistically significant increase from Day 0 to Day 29 (Day 0: 52.8 +/- 18.9, Day 29: 63.6 +/- 18.1, P = 0.033). On the other hand, the 5A group showed no statistically significant changes from Day 0 to Day 29 (Day 0: 58.3 +/- 17.4, Day 29: 62.9 +/- 16.4, P = 0.702). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. 5) Changes and rates of change in the results of activity (amount of activity), body battery (energy status of the body), stress, and sleep analysis acquired by the smartwatch. (1) Active (kcal) In the PL group, Active values were significantly lower in the 1st and 4th week of intake period compared to the screening period (screening period: 453.21 +/- 247.26, 1st week of intake period: 352.41 +/- 201.39; P = 0.048, 4th week of intake period: 358.05 +/- 238.25; P = 0. 006). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant in the 5A group. Comparison of the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point showed that the Active value was statistically significantly lower in the 5A group than in the PL group at the screening period (P = 0.030). (2) Active time (sec/day) In the PL group, the Active Time value was significantly lower at week 4 of the intake period compared to the screening period (screening period: 7184.59 +/- 1928.18, intake period week 4: 6043.15 +/- 2433.71; P = 0.019). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant in the 5A group. Comparison of the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point showed that the Active Time value was statistically significantly lower in the 5A group than in the PL group at the screening period (P = 0.040). (3) Average Stress Level The PL group showed a significant decrease in Average Stress Level at the 1st, 2nd, and 4th week of intake compared to the screening period (screening period: 34.70 +/- 15.28; intake period, 1st week: 26.88 +/- 9.37; P = 0.041; intake period, 2nd week: 26.07 +/- 8.66; intake period, 4th week: 27.88 +/- 7.35; P = 0.033). 8.66; P = 0.041, intake period week 4: 27.88 +/- 7.35; P = 0.033). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant in the 5A group. There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. (4) rest Stress (sec/day) In the PL group, the rest stress value was significantly increased at week 3 of the intake period compared to the screening period (screening period: 16426.75 +/- 77771.20, intake period week 3: 20097.86 +/- 4562.86; P = 0.039) On the other hand,5A group showed a significant increase in rest stress levels in the first and second week of intake compared to the screening period (screening period: 16267.33 +/- 9961.02, intake period 1: 20183.24 +/- 7361.57; P = 0.023, intake period 2: 21036.98 +/- 7212.41; P = 0.042). 21036.98 +/- 7212.41; P = 0.042). There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. (5) low Stress (sec/day) There was no statistically significant difference in the PL group. On the other hand, the 5A group showed a significant increase in low stress value in the 3rd and 4th week of intake compared to the screening period (screening period: 4409.59 +/- 2543.93, intake period 3rd week: 6731.50 +/- 3237.96; P = 0.009, intake period 4th week: 5660.27 +/- 3065. 34; P = 0.046). There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. (6) high Stress (sec/day) In the PL group, the high Stress value was significantly lower at week 4 of the intake period compared to the screening period (screening period: 4459.68 +/- 4047.07, intake period week 4: 2662.01 +/- 2088.22; P = 0.017). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant variation in the 5A group. There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. (7) deep sleep (sec/day) There was no statistically significant variation in the PL group. On the other hand, the deep sleep value increased significantly in the second and third week of the intake period compared to the screening period (screening period: 5338.19 +/- 3399.32; intake period, second week: 6743.07 +/- 2621.11; P = 0.040; intake period, third week: 6814.64 +/- 2351. 41; P = 0.027). There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. There were no statistically significant changes in average Body Battery, max Stress Level, active Stress (sec/day), medium Stress (sec/day), light Stress (sec/day), rem Stress (sec/day), and awake (sec/day) in both the PL and 5A groups. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. 6)Other observations and changes in test items during the study period (1)Oxygen saturation There was no statistically significant variation in both the PL and 5A groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point. 7)Exploratory analysis: Changes in VAS values for fatigue and rate of change (Day-0 standard) There was no statistically significant variation from the screening period to the fourth week of the intake period in the PL group. On the other hand, in the 5A group, there was a statistically significant decrease from the screening period to weeks 3 and 4 of the intake period (screening period: 63.52 +/- 11.86, intake period week 4: 57.28 +/- 12.72; P = 0.050, intake period week 4: 54.43 +/- 17.02; P = 0.021). There was no statistically significant difference between the PL and 5A groups at each measurement point.

The safety of the test food (capsules containing 5-ALA/SFC) was confirmed during 28 days of continuous intake. the 5A group showed weekly variations in fatigue and stress before and after intake. In addition, we confirmed that it is possible to obtain useful data for research in a remote environment using electronic logbooks and smartphones.
