cultivated in Mexico and several centuries

Papaya and Anemia
Anemia is characterized by deficiency in the hemoglobin of the red
blood cells diminishing the ability of the blood to transport oxygen to
our cells and to removing carbon dioxide.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disease associated with unusually large numbers of immature blood cells. According to Covenant University, Methanolic extracts from S. monostachyus, C. papaya seed oil, exhibited particular antisickling properties coupled with the potential to reduce stress in sickle cell patients(1). In In beta-hemoglobinopathies, fermented papaya preparation (FPP), increased the content of reduced glutathione (GSH) in red blood cells
(RBC), and decreased their reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation,
membrane lipid peroxidation, and externalization of phosphatidylserine
(PS), indicating amelioration of their oxidative
status, without a significant change in the hematological parameters,
probably through addition of an iron chelator(2) and alleviated symptoms
associated with oxidative stress in severe forms of thalassemia(3) as well as significant reduction in the number of sickle cells(4).
