Anemia has become one of the diseases most commonly caused by undernutrition worldwide. It mostly affects children at pre school age and women at reproductive age in developing countries. Various campaigns around the world have been carried out to eradicate it. However, this situation persists. Therefore, the consumption of a drink based on the quinoa leaf is proposed for the cure of anemia. This work demonstrates the economic viability of this product and the markets acceptance. In addition, its an easy to manufacture product with low production costs, which makes the investment and developtment of the product commercially attractive for a government or private company. This product is highly effective in curing anemia and confirming the interest in its consumption, especially in low-income sectors due to its low price.
