Anemia is one of the most common health problems found in Indonesia. Anemia is characterized by the low number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the blood caused by low levels of iron in the body. Wheat grass (Triticum aestivum L.) contain high existence of iron is supposed to be able to increase erythrocytes and Hb level in mice (Mus musculus L.). Completely Randomized Design was used in this experiment, consisting of 5 treatment (K1: without NaNO2 and WGJ (wheat grass juice), K2: given the NaNO2 without given the WGJ, P1: WGJ 25%, P2: WGJ 50%, and P3: WGJ 75%) and 5 replication. The parameters observed were the male mice erythrocytes and the Hb levels before and after being given the wheat grass juice. The data were analyzed using ANOVA then continued DNMRT test with a 5% level. The results showed that giving wheat grass juice for 14 days can increased the eryhrocytes and Hb levels in male mice. The most noticeable impact is the treatment with the highest dose i.e. P3 (WGJ 75%).
