Abstract

According to WHO, the number of people with anemia in the world reaches two billion or 30% of the world's population. About 25% of adolescents and school-age children in Indonesia suffer from anemia. One of the anemia drugs that is often used is neo plus blood tablets, but the side effects of these drugs cause nausea and constipation. The leaves and fruit of tin can be used as an alternative to natural anemia treatment. This research is experimental in nature using a completely randomized design. This study aims to determine the effect of fig leaf and fruit extracts on hemoglobin (Hb) levels tested on mice. The test animals were divided into 3 groups, the control group was given distilled water and the other two groups were given extracts of fig leaves and fruit. The volume of the extract was given orally at a dose of 300 mg/Kg BW for 14 consecutive days. The results showed the average hemoglobin level of mice in group 1 (8.73 g/dl), group 2 (10.90 g/dl), and group 3 (11.28 g/dl). It can be concluded that group 3 with fig extract gave the best results in increasing the hemoglobin levels of the test animals.
