Background: Administering iron tablets (Fe) is one of the measures implemented to prevent anemia. Guava, a fruit abundant in vitamin C, possesses the ability to enhance the absorption of Fe in the human body. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of providing Fe tablets in conjunction with guava juice on the elevation of Hb levels in pregnant women at the South Tangerang Region Health Center. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental two group pre-post design. The sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their third trimester who were diagnosed with anemia and were divided into two groups: the treatment group and the control group. Purposive sampling was utilized as the sampling technique. Data analysis involved Independent T-test. Results: The outcomes demonstrated a significant disparity in the elevation of Hb levels resulting from the administration of Fe tablets combined with guava juice compared to the sole administration of Fe tablets, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: Consequently, the findings indicate that the administration of Fe tablets in conjunction with guava juice exerts an influence on the elevation of Hb levels in pregnant women. Therefore, it is advisable for pregnant women with anemia to consume Fe tablets along with guava juice
