Abstract
Background: The prevalence of anemia in Indonesia is highest in women of childbearing age between the ages of 15-24 years, as many 84.6%.

Giving tablets added blood to girls is 76.2%, but those who consume blood-added tablets are only 1.4% due to side effects experienced after consuming these added tablets. Kidney beans are legumes that have complete nutritional content. Flavonoids in kidney beans function for treatment in anemia can work together with iron to ward off free radicals in the form of hydroxy and superoxide so that it protects membrane lipids, prevents cell damage, and protects blood cells.
