Whole date fruit, 100 g,
does it really help with Reduced bleeding during 24 hours after vaginal delivery?
research showsThe verdict is C with 54 points. In a 98-person randomized trial after vaginal delivery, women given 100 g of whole dates two hours postpartum had lower 24-hour bleeding scores. Prospective registration, a matching primary outcome, and a between-group confidence interval are uncommon strengths in this batch, but it remains one small unblinded study.
ads claimFamiliar claims about jujube for women can blur distinct species. The tested food was whole Phoenix dactylifera date fruit, not Korean jujube, and it cannot replace hospital postpartum observation or standard treatment.
Useful facts when choosing a product
- The intervention was 100 g of whole Mazafati Bam Phoenix dactylifera fruit taken once, two hours after delivery.
- Date palm fruit and Korean jujube, Ziziphus jujuba, are different species. Verdict 293 is ? and concerns wild-jujube seed, another different material.
- A PBLAC score of 100 was originally a screening threshold for menstrual blood loss above 80 mL. It is not a linear conversion from score to milliliters and was not validated as a severity threshold for postpartum bleeding.
- Menstrual screening validity cannot simply be transferred to postpartum lochia and pad use; the paper also acknowledges the limitation of self-reported measurement.

What the research actually shows
Niknami and colleagues compared 100 g of whole Mazafati Bam dates two hours after delivery with no-date control. They used sequentially numbered opaque envelopes, modified intention-to-treat analysis, and an exact nonparametric confidence interval. The Research and Technology Vice-Chancellor of Guilan University of Medical Sciences funded the study; there was no grower or seller funding and the authors declared no competing interests.
Why this is classified as C (54)
The trial measured clinically important postpartum bleeding with a prospectively registered matching primary outcome, but the converted effect was below the conventional medium threshold. One small unblinded trial using an indirect score of uncertain postpartum validity yields C with 54 points.
Counterpoint. This was the only trial in the batch to report a between-group confidence interval and it also had public funding, allocation concealment, and modified intention-to-treat analysis.

| Endpoint | H | Hard endpoint - actual events such as death |
| Replication | R1 | Single confirmatory trial |
| Independence | I2 | Decisive evidence is publicly or non-profit funded |
| Effect size | E~ | Statistically positive but below the threshold |
Stored derived and displayed grades match; this is not a current recalculation or validity check (C).
Sub-claim grades by effect
This ingredient is marketed for several effects. A single overall grade blends strong and weak claims together, so each effect is graded separately here. The overall grade reflects the strongest disconfirming or core claim.
| Effect (sub-claim) | Grade | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| One hundred grams of whole date fruit reduces 24-hour postpartum bleeding | C | One prospectively registered trial was positive, but it was unblinded, indirect, and unreplicated. |
