This means that at the baseline the Hb level of the two groups were about equal allowing valid comparison of the Hb levels after treatment between the two groups. Results: Before treatment, Hb level in the guava group (mean= 10.38 SD= 0.72) was comparable with the green bean group (mean= 10.48 SD= 0.81) with p= 0.175. Hb levels after treatment between the red guava juice and green bean juice were compared and tested by t-test. The independent variables were red guava juice and green bean extract. This sample was allocated into the red guava juicegroup (n 1=16) and green bean extract group (n 2=16). A sample of 32 pregnant women of last trimester was selected for this study by random sampling. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi experimental study conducted in Ngasem Community Health Center, Kediri, East Java, from Januari 4 to 10, 2018. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of guava juice and green bean juice to increase hemoglobin (Hb) level in pregnant women. It is hypothesized that either fruitcan be used as non-pharmacological alternative toanti-anemia therapy.
