Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of Nutri Haemball with amla and without amla among female college students. Material and Methods: Quantitative approach, experimental design was adopted to compare the effectiveness of Nutri Haemball with and without amla among female college students (Experimental group I - 30 samples and Experimental group II - 30 samples) studying in Ganga Institution of Health Sciences, Coimbatore who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Samples were selected through purposive sampling technique. Pre-test haemoglobin level was evaluated and Nutri Haemball with amla for Experimental group I and Nutri Haemball without amla for Experimental group II was administered for a period of 4 weeks and post-test level of haemoglobin level was analysed. Results: The post-test mean haemoglobin score of Experimental group I and II was 10.98 with SD of 2.05 and 9.19 with SD of 0.84. The calculated unpaired t value (t = 4.434) of pre-test and post-test leves of haemoglobin indicates that the statistical difference was high at p<0.001 among female college students. Conclusion: The result stated that the Nutri Haemball was effective in increasing haemoglobin level among female college students and can be further utilized as a measure for preventing Nutritional anaemia (Iron Deficiency Anaemia).
