Abstract

Nutrition for the health of the body is very important in maintaining health and preventing disease.  Nutrition can help optimize body function and provide the energy needed to do activities throughout the day.  Probiotics are live microorganisms that are administered as dietary supplements and have beneficial effects on human health.  These microorganisms play a role in the intestinal microbial balance and also play an important role in maintaining health and can eliminate antigens that enter the body with food.  The PKK group of Dusun Jurug Jumapolo Village has been cultivating gamal and moringa leaves as house fence plants and for their livestock's fodder.  Mothers do not yet know the many benefits of gamal and moringa leaves.  The existence of this community service will empower by educating the use of gamal leaves and moringa leaves as basic ingredients for making basic probiotic nutrition.  The method used in this community service uses survey or observation methods, interviews, counseling, training and assistance to groups of mothers who are members of the PKK.  The implementation of the evaluation is monitored by increasing the skills and knowledge of the mothers in producing basic probiotic nutrition.  The results of the dedication were obtained by PKK mothers who enthusiastically participated in the activity and were able to practice how to make basic probiotic nutrition in a holistic and herbal way.
