        abstract = {Infertility and anemia are significant health concerns, with natural remedies gaining attention for their potential therapeutic effects. Myristica fragrans (Mace) has been traditionally used for their medicinal properties, but its impact on reproductive and hematological parameters remains underexplored. This study investigates the positive effects of aqueous Myristica fragrans extract on sperm count and red blood cell (RBC) count in Mus musculus. The male mice were divided into two groups: a control group receiving distilled water and a treated group receiving 100 mg/kg body weight of Myristica fragrans aqueous extract for 35 days. Sperm parameters were analyzed using a hemocytometer, while RBC count was assessed using an automated hematology analyzer. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, including standard deviation and standard error calculations. The results demonstrated a significant increase (p < 0.05) in sperm count and RBC count in the treated group compared to the control, suggesting that Myristica fragrans enhances reproductive and hematological health. These findings indicate that Myristica fragrans aqueous extract may serve as a natural supplement for improving male fertility and blood cell production. Further research is required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and potential clinical applications.},
