Studies done on Moringa

According to Kuli Kuli Foods, Moringa is rich in antioxidants that fight against oxygen-free radicals, which can contribute to cholesterol build-up and inflammation. Studies suggest that moringa may help reduce the number of free radicals, improve the function of the heart, and prevent cell damage along blood vessel walls. There are several studies done with the use of moringa. I’ve read endless stories of success and people in developing countries returning to good health after consuming moringa. I wonder what would happen in the US if people started using moringa instead of harmful pharmaceutical drugs. I’m sharing this link here if you want to read more about the case studies. It’s very interesting!!

  7. Hi Alyse,

    Moringa is pretty well known in Indonesia. Even here among Indonesians who live in America, we share moringa seeds and grow it in our garden. In Indonesian, we call this plant “daun kelor.” With the many benefits of moringa, I am glad you recommend a great product like Moringa In to improve our family’s health.
    Thank you for sharing this post.
