The hemoglobin test in the study sample was (Hb 12.0-12.4) where the percentage of the study group was (50%) while the control group (60%). And that there is an increase in the level of hemoglobin after cinnamon was given to the study group where it became (10.55±1.07) ( g/dL) after it was (10.36±1.09) ( g/dL) before giving cinnamon. Age of study samples was reported a non-significant differences at P>0.05, between the observed frequency's distributions compared with expected at the two groups.
