ABSTRACT
The effect of combined herbs (Piper
guinensis and Xylopia aethuopica) were used in postnatal prophylaxis and these
effects on Glutathione, Vitamin C and Vitamin E serum content of lactating
mothers were evaluated. Similarly volunteer controls (lactating women without
the spice treatment) were also evaluated. Blood sera samples were collected
from both groups and analyzed for the three test parameters (Glutathione,
Vitamin C and Vitamin B). Results show that Glutathione and Vitamin E increased
in the test sample relative to the control, while Vitamin C decreased. It was
concluded that the relative increase in the antioxidant levels was observed as
a health benefit. It was therefore concluded that the dietary intake of the
test spices during lactation should not be discouraged. But the need for
further studies on the spices was recommended.
