Abstract

The prevalence of stunting among toddlers in Indonesia, at 21,6%, is a major public health issue. Chronic malnutrition during the first 1.000 days of life is a major cause of stunting, requiring effective and sustainable nutritional interventions based on local food sources. Moringa leaves (Moringa Oleifera) are known as a highly nutritious food with high nutritional content such as iron, protein, calcium, vitamins C and A, which can support child growth. This literature study evaluates the nutritional content of moringa leaves, the effectiveness of moringa leaf consumption interventions in preventing stunting, as well as the success factors and challenges of implementing moringa leaf supplementation in various forms (powder, extract, biscuits, pudding) significantly increases children’s weight, height, and HAZ scores, as well as reducing the prevalence of stunting. Regular consumption and product innovations that appeal to children enhance acceptance and effectiveness of interventions. Moringa leaves offer a local, economical, and sustainable solution for stunting prevention; however, multisectoral support and education are needed to optimize their benefits on a broader scale.
