done be using cyanmethamoglobin method. Result: The mean hemoglobin level of experimental group
before administering 100ml drumstick leaves juice was 11.43 with a standard deviation ± 0.91 The mean
hemoglobin level of experimental group after administering 100ml drumstick leaves juice was ±12.36 with
a standard deviation is ± 0.69.the p value is 0.69. Conclusion: Comparing to control group the hemoglobin
