Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO), 40% of pregnant women worldwide suffer from anemia. Anemia in pregnancy is a condition where pregnant women have Hb levels <11.00 gr% in the first, second, and third trimesters or Hb levels <10.50 gr% in the second trimester, because there is a difference in hemodilution, especially in the second trimester. Anemia that occurs during pregnancy can be caused because many women start their pregnancy with insufficient food reserves or experience anemia before pregnancy. The most common anemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency anemia, which is caused by a lack of nutrition from food. Natural ingredients that can be used as an alternative to treat anemia and are easy to obtain and cultivate also contain protein, vitamin C, and iron. One non-pharmacological method or natural ingredient that can be used to increase Hb levels is dragon fruit juice, red guava, and honey. The study's conclusion (Meilinda V et al., 2023) is that dragon fruit juice (Hylocereus Polyrhizus) and honey affect increasing Hb levels in pregnant women with anemia.
