Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
A single-centered pilot scale study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of orally administered supplement SJ29 Capsule in sickle cell anemia patients.
Male or female patients  with age over 18 to 30 years diagnosed with sickle cell anemia will be included. Total subject population is 10 subjects. Treatment period is from the day of screening i.e. day 1 to end of intervention of the supplement day 60. Study product is SJ29 Capsule, which subjects to receive daily oral dosing (3 capsules) of natural supplement from day 1 to day 60.  Safety of the study intervention will evaluated by lab Investigations parameters: CBC with ESR, Reticulocyte count, LFT, LDH, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Sickling test, Sr. creatinine, Urine analysis form mean change in these lab parameters from day 1 to end of study visit day 60. The efficacy of study intervention is evaluated by the McGill Pain Questionnaire (Pain tool). The benefit evaluation for this study is grounded in the potential positive impact of SJ29 capsule on sickle cell anemia. This supplement contains compounds that can help reduce the frequency and severity of painful episodes experienced by the patients suffering from sickle cell anemia, thus improving the overall quality of life for individuals. Supplement like this contain nutrients or bioactive compounds that support the function of red blood cells, potentially reducing the likelihood of sickle-shaped cells forming and causing blockages in blood vessels. This supplement is made of 100% herbal formula and helps to reduce the fatigue and pain. It also helps to regenerate healthy new RBC. The benefit evaluation is aligned with the broader goal of enhancing treatment options for sickle cell anemia and promoting overall health in affected individuals. The formulation of the capsule includes Boerhvia diffusa, Calotropis gigantea purified, Coscinium Fenestratum and Curcuma longa. SJ 29 capsule acts selectively to destroy diseased hemoglobin and blast cells. Overall, SJ29 improve the quality of life of patient.
