Abstract: Hemoglobin is a tetrameric protein of erythrocytes that binds molecules, namely iron porphyrin compounds called heme. Hemoglobin has two important transport functions in the human body, namely transporting oxygen to tissues and transporting carbon dioxide and protons from peripheral tissues to respiratory organs. As children, teenagers often experience iron deficiency problems which can cause anemia. In adolescent girls, if the hemoglobin level in the blood is <12g/dL, anemia will occur. This study aims to determine the effect of giving moringa leaf talam cake on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls at SMP Negeri 2 Manado. This type of quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test - post-test research design. The population in this study was 58 people and the sample was 36. The study was carried out in May 2023, namely for 4 weeks of research with the provision of moringa leaf talam cake intervention which was given for 12 times with a total of 120 g (2 pieces of moringa leaf talam cake). Sampling using random sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using a paired T-test, with data normality testing usingKolmogorov-Smirnovtest. Based on the calculation results of the Parried Sample T-test in per by p-value 0.000 <α = 0.05 (p-value is smaller than α = 0.05). This means that there is a significant effect on hemoglobin levels before giving moringa leaf talam cake and after giving moringa leaf talam cake to female adolescents at SMP Negeri 2 Manado. Conclusion:provision of moringa leaf talam cake products. Likewise, with the intake of iron (fe), protein and energy, there were significant differences before and after the provision of moringa leaf talam cake products.
