Effectiveness of the Combination of Blood Enhancing Tablets with Sweet Oranges in Increasing Blood Hemoglobin Levels
Introduction. Iron deficiency is the main cause of anemia worldwide. Nutrients that affect hemoglobin levels are protein, iron (Fe), copper, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the combination of blood supplement tablets with sweet oranges in increasing blood hemoglobin levels.
Method. Quasi-experiment pre and post-tests were applied in this study. The population was all students in grades 8 and 9 who had menstruated as many as 45 people and were divided into two groups based on class, namely the control with added blood tablets and the case group with added blood plus Vitamin C derived from sweet oranges weighing 130 grams containing 63.7 grams of vitamin C. grams for 12 weeks. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention using Easy Touch GCHb. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test.
Results. The administration of iron supplement tablets combined with vitamin C was more effective in increasing the hemoglobin level of adolescents compared to only the intervention with blood supplement tablets (p-value = 0.001).
Conclusion. The combination of sweet oranges is more effective so the findings of this study can be a reference for the government in the program of giving iron tablets to adolescents which is being implemented so that they are combined with giving sweet oranges.
