A lot of people nowadays are becoming more and more health conscious- keeping an eye of the kind of food they eat, and are making sure that what they consume are foods that are jam-packed with antioxidants and nutrients to promote overall health.
It is without a doubt that superfoods are becoming a hype right now. From chia seeds, to maca to matcha you name it! But let me introduce you to another superfood that is slowly but surely gaining popularity right now due to its highly nutritious profile, powerful antioxidants, highly concentrated nutrients and anti-inflammatory properties among others.
Moringa Powder (or Moringa Oleifera), also known as horseradish tree, drumstick tree or ben tree is a multipurpose tropical tree. It has been used for thousands of years for industrial, agricultural and of course medicinal purposes. It has been widely used from generation to generation in Eastern countries to treat and prevent ailments such as diabetes, heart disease, anemia, arthritis, liver disease, etc.
Science has not yet fully discovered all of the reputed health benefits of moringa. The list can go on for its benefits, and here’s a few of them:
Health Benefits of Moringa Powder

Moringa contains substantial amounts of vitamins A, C and E, potassium, calcium and protein. Its storehouse of vitamins, minerals and amino acids is also something we can’t miss!
- Combats inflammation
It has ability to reduce inflammation by suppressing inflammatory enzymes in the body, which is related with acne and even cancer! In fact, it outshines turmeric with its anti-inflammatory properties! Who knew?
- It protects the liver
The liver can be compared to the chemical processing plant but of the body. It cleanses the blood, produces bile and processes the nutrients from food. The polyphenols found in the leaves and flowers of moringa helps shield the liver from oxidation, toxicity, and damage. Moringa also regulates the liver enzymes and makes sure they’re at normal levels; reduce oxidative stress, and increases protein content in the liver.

Studies show that moringa helps in reducing cholesterol levels, blood lipid control and helps prevent plaque formation in the arteries.
