      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Basic scienece, Randomization description: Randomization tool: table of random numbers
In this study, 80 envelopes will be designed, in which there is code A or code B inside each envelope. These codes will indicate the allocation or non-allocation of the intervention. In advance, the necessary coordination will be made with the pharmaceutical company to make the drug and placebo, and the drug and placebo will be separated in containers with code A and B. According to the double-blind study, neither the doctor nor the patient will be unaware of these containers. The patient goes to the doctor and the doctor will place the person in one of these two groups with the help of a table of random numbers. This will continue until 80 people are placed in two groups, Blinding description: In this study, people will be divided into two control and intervention groups using a random number table. . Date palm pollen and dry bread powder will be packaged and coded in exactly the same packages, and the researcher and the subject are not aware of the type of supplement consumed in the packages.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: participants in the intervention group received 400 mg Date Palm Pollen once a day after lunch for 12 weeks. After characterizing Date Palm Pollen native to Abadan city, Karen Pharmaceutical Company prepares the product in the form of capsules, Pearl 400 mg. The subjects and the researcher do not know about the allocation of groups. In order to hide the assignment of people to groups, sealed envelopes are used (containing the identification group code of each person along with inserting the person's number on the envelope). A time table is designed to take the medicine. Drug intake was assessed by counting the remaining pearls and by excluding participants who did not consume more than 30% of the drug. Intervention 2: Control group: Participants in the control group received placebo Pearl (dry bread) 400 mg once a day after lunch for 12 weeks. In terms of appearance, placebos are completely similar to date palm pollen herbal medicine, both of which are produced by Karen Pharmaceuticals and Vital Food Supplements Company (Yazd-Tehran). The investigated people and the researcher do not know about the allocation of groups. Placebo and date palm pollen herbal medicine are coded by the manufacturing company. In order to hide the assignment of people to groups, sealed envelopes are used (containing the assigned group code of each person along with the individual's number on the envelope). A schedule is designed to remind you to take the medicine. The evaluation of drug consumption is done by counting the remaining pearls and by removing the participants who have not consumed more than 30% of the drug.</i_freetext>
