Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of rice milk supplemented with Moringa leaf powder in restoring body weight in Mus musculus after a three-day fasting period. Nine Mus musculus were divided into three groups: the control group (K), which was only given regular drinking water; group P1, which received pure rice milk; and group P2, which was given rice milk supplemented with Moringa leaf powder. The results showed that the K group experienced continuous weight loss, while the P1 group exhibited limited weight recovery. The P2 group demonstrated the highest weight gain, with a growth rate of 20.7%, indicating the effectiveness of fortified rice milk in improving nutritional recovery. This study highlights the potential of Moringa supplementation as a functional food for nutritional rehabilitation.
