Objective: To determine the effect of 3 months consumption of medical nutrition supplement(MNS) MaxvidaTM in adult anemic females. Background: Proper balanceddaily nutrition is important for women, which includes adequate levels of essential high-quality proteins, amino acids, complex carbohydrates, biotin for normal functioning of the nervous system, and hemo-nutrients for normal blood formation. Subjects and Method: This was a retrospective observational study where 226 adult female participants between 18 to 45 years were enrolled from 1st March to 30th April 2019. Patients were instructed to consume MNS (MaxvidaTM) 30gm in 100 ml of water twice daily (morning and evening) in addition to their normal diet for three months. Anthropometric parameters, HbA1c, Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) and hand-held dynamometry (HHD)were assessed at baseline, 1, 2 and 3 months. Result: The mean age of patients was 31.1years. All subjects took supplement as per guideline showing high compliance rate. BMR improved significantly from baseline 21.7±0.3 to22.6±035 at 3 months (p=0.013). Weight increase dsignificantly from baseline 51.3±0.7 to53.3±0.6 and 53.9±0.6 kg at both 2nd and 3rd months(p = 0.001). Hb levels increased significantly from baseline 9.0±0.1 to11.0±0.1 at 3 months (p=0.001)due toMaxvidaTM intake. MFIS scorereduced significantly from baseline 51.1±1.1 to 28.9±1.3 at 3 months (p=0.0001).HHD score improved from 17.3±0.4 to 22.0±0.5 at 3 months (p = 0.001). Conclusion: 3�?�months consumption of MaxvidaTM an MNS by adult anemic females, showed improvement in BMI, Hb, Muscle parameters, HHD with a reduction in MFIS.
