ABSTRACT

Iron deficiency anaemia is highly prevalent among teenage girls worldwide. Drumstick leaves soup are nutrient-dense and have been proposed as a low-cost dietary intervention to improve haemoglobin levels. This literature review summarizes interventional and quasi- experimental studies that evaluated the effect of drumstick leaves on haemoglobin levels among teenage girls. Overall evidence suggests Drumstick leaves soup is associated with modest but clinically meaningful increases in haemoglobin over short interventions, though study designs vary and some trials lack rigorous controls. Further randomized controlled trials with standardized dosing, longer follow-up, and attention to bioavailability and diet interactions are needed. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of drumstick leaves soup on haemoglobin level among teenage girls. Keywords: Haemoglobin level, Teenage Girls, Drumstick Leaves soup
