Anemia can be caused by insufficient iron intake, menstruation, impaired absorption of iron, and the presence of infectious diseases. Increasing iron intake can be done by increasing local food intake. Moringa contains nutrients such as iron (fe), calcium (ca), vitamins A, β-carotene, protein, vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and B, and antioxidant compounds.
