Moringa, known as a source of vitality and energy, has been a revered source of folk medicine for centuries. This is particularly due to its health-giving properties and its super-rich vitamin C content. But what makes moringa so special and when and how to use it?
What is moringa?
Moringa is a deciduous tree native to the north-west of India, and every part of it – from the roots to the leaves – is full of healing power. In addition to India, this miracle tree can be found growing in Africa, Mexico, northern South America, the Philippines and Latin America. Moringa has been valued for its healing properties in folk medicine in India and other tropical regions for centuries. Although all parts of the moringa tree can be eaten and they have wonderful nutritional value, it is the nutrient-rich leaves that are most commonly used for medicinal purposes, as they are the most beneficial due to their rich vitamin content.
What are the health benefits of moringa?
Moringa is rich in vitamin C, up to 7 times more than in oranges, for example. It is also rich in plant protein, iron and amino acids, which help the body to heal and support muscle function. Moringa is also packed with powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from damage and strengthen the immune system. Traditionally, moringa has been used to treat long-standing inflammations, infections, joint pain, cancers, fevers, headaches and diabetes. Moringa allows the body to heal at a cellular level and to get rid of various diseases. In Ayurveda, Indian folk medicine, Moringa has been used to prevent and treat 300 different diseases.
The nutritional value of Moringa is truly impressive:
This powerful plant hides:
- 7x more vitamin C than orange;
- 15x more potassium than banana;
- 4x more protein than egg;
- 10x more vitamin A than carrot;
- 25x more iron than spinach.
In addition, moringa contains a total of 46 powerful antioxidants, 36 different anti-inflammatory compounds and 18 amino acids, 9 of which are essential amino acids.

How should I take moringa?
In order not to lose the medicinal properties of moringa, it is recommended not to heat it and to consume it with cold food or drink. As the taste of moringa may not be to everyone’s liking, capsules are the most convenient way to consume this powerful plant. The capsules are quick and easy to take, and there is no dominant taste. What’s more, moringa capsules can also fit conveniently into a bag or pocket if you want to take them with you to work or on a trip. Storing the capsules is also very easy, as they can be stored at normal room temperature and do not take up much space, fitting neatly into a drawer, shelf or in a home pharmacy. The recommended daily dose is 2 capsules of moringa powder 1-2 times a day with food or as recommended by a therapist.
Who are moringa capsules meant for?
High quality moringa capsules are ideal for anyone who wants to boost their health with the power of the plant or is suffering from any of the health problems listed above. Moringa is also good for those suffering from a lack of energy or experience fatigue. The vitamin C in moringa also helps to keep the immune system strong, which makes it a great way of boosting the body’s resistance during the autumn-winter period or when a cold is on the way.
