Anemia, hyperglycaemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperuricemia are health problems commonly found in teenagers. Moringa oleifera leaf tea contains iron, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant compounds that might improve the body's blood profile and metabolism. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of moringa leaf tea consumption in stabilizing haemoglobin, blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid levels in teenagers. This is a quasi-experimental study with a pre–posttest control group. There were 86 teenagers who divided into 48 as an intervention group who consumed moringa leaf tea 1 time a day for 14 days. There were 38 teenagers as a control group. Examination of haemoglobin, blood sugar at the time, cholesterol, and uric acid were carried out before and after an intervention. Data analysis used a paired t-test or Wilcoxon test and an independent t-test or Mann–Whitney. The results showed a significant increase in haemoglobin levels in the intervention group (p < 0.05), while the control group did not significant changes (p > 0.05). In addition, there was a significant decrease in blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid levels in the intervention group (p < 0.05), while in the control group the results were not significant. The intergroup test also showed significant differences after the intervention (p < 0.05). Consumption of moringa leaf tea 1 time a day for 14 days has been proven to be effective in increasing haemoglobin levels while lowering blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid levels in adolescent girls. Moringa leaf tea has the potential to be used as a complementary intervention based on local food for the prevention of anemia and metabolic disorders in adolescents.
