The health problem of the pregnant women which often faced are KEK (Less Energy Chronic) and Anemia. They can be detected by checking the total protein and albumin for KEK while anemia by detect the hemoglobin and hematocrit. One of the response to the problem is by supplementary feeding (PMT).This research aims to know the difference between the biochemistry of blood to influenced PMT (combination cookies forte and fruit juice).The type of experimental researchs by the Pretest-Posttest Design.
