Data analysis using Wilcoxon and Man Whitney.Results: There were differences in hemoglobin levels before and after administration of date palm extract and Fe tablets (p<0.000) and before and after administration of Moringa leaf extract and Fe tablets (p<0.000). This study shows a difference in effectiveness between dates extract and moringa leaf extract in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women (p<0.000). Conclusion: Dates extract and Fe tablets were more effective than Moringa leaf extract and Fe tablets in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women.Suggestion : Date syrup and Moringa leaf extract can be used as alternative non-pharmacological therapy to treat anemia that occurs in pregnant women while still paying attention to other nutritional needs.
