Young Women are at higher risk of anemia, due to the loss of iron during menstruation so the concentration of iron in the blood decreases and which will result in a decrease of hemoglobin Content. The research aimed to find out the effectiveness of iron tablet (Fe) provision, vitamin C, and Psidium guava juice on the improvement of young women's hemoglobin content. This was an experimental design of the pretest-posttest with the control group. The research samples were the female students of senior high school with a Hemoglobin content of <12gr/dL as many as 45 students were divided into three groups. They were the female students obtaining the supplementation of Fe tablet + Psidium guava juice (group I), those obtaining the supplementation of Fe tablet + vitamin C (group II), and those obtaining the supplementation of Fe tablet (control). The intervention provision was conducted for 8 weeks. And the examination of Hb content was carried out every two weeks. The data analysis used the paired t-test and ANOVA test. The research result indicates that after 8-week intervention, the average highest Hb content improvement is in the group of Fe tablet and Psidium guava juice is 1.7gr/dL; the group is Fe tablet and vitamin C is 1.5 gr/dL, and the group of Fe tablet is 0.8 gr/dL. Based on the Anova test, after two-week intervention is p=0.010, after four-week intervention is p=0.316, after six-week intervention is p=0.323, after eight-week intervention is p=0.203 with α=0,05. It can be concluded, that there are significant differences in mean Hb in groups I, II, and control two weeks after the intervention, while after interventions 4, 6, and 8 weeks the mean Hb levels showed no significant difference however between the groups I, II, and control.
