The number of respondents was 36 in the treatment group and the comparison in the comparison group.

The average hemoglobin level of the treatment group was 0.411 g / dl and the comparison group was 0.2 g / dl. The results of the t-independent test showed no difference in the average hemoglobin levels of the treatment group with a comparison group with a p-value of  0.05.
