This study uses a literature review, namely a series of studies related to the method of collecting library data or research whose research objects are explored through various library information (books, encyclopedias, scientific journals, newspapers, magazines and newspapers). Based on the results of the literature review, it is known that Eucheuma sp seaweed is one of the foodstuffs that contain several compounds needed in hemoglobin synthesis such as iron, protein and vitamin B complex, Eucheuma sp is also a seaweed that can stabilize the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and Hemoglobin.
