Spirulina is a fast growing blue-green algae belongs to the family oscillatoriaceae cyanophyceae. It provides as much as iron as 80g of liver or nearly two cups of fresh spinach. So we have assessed to improve the iron status of anemic women after supplementing with Spirulina based murukku. Currently available data indicates that about one third of world’s population suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Immediately after delivery, 52 percent of women from greater Monkton and 40 percent from the Acadian peninsula had hemoglobin below normal. Therefore by providing Spirulina it prevents anemia, when hemoglobin is low. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol7no2/supplementation-of-spirulina-for-anaemic-labours-of-cotton-mill/ Spirulina murukku; anemic female labourers; Anthro pometric measurement
