Suggested to use alongside

• Vitamin C: Helps the body absorb iron
• Iron: Essential mineral found in leafy greens

Moringa leaves are notable for their nutrient density. Dried leaf powder is a source of protein, beta-carotene (which your body can convert to vitamin A), vitamin C, calcium, potassium and iron. Because the powder is concentrated, small amounts give a meaningful contribution, though a typical serving does not replace a varied diet.

Moringa also contains plant compounds including quercetin, chlorogenic acid and isothiocyanates (related to the compounds found in mustard and broccoli). Laboratory studies suggest these have antioxidant activity. Human research is still limited, and many studies are small, short or use different preparations, so firm conclusions are not yet possible.

One traditional use is to support breast milk supply. This is supported by Asian and African tradition and a few small studies, but better quality trials are needed (Examine.com).

Forms differ:

• Leaf powder is the most common and has a green, earthy taste.
• Capsules are convenient and flavour-free.
• Seed oil is sometimes used in cosmetics, and is a different product.

Pods, leaves and seeds contain different mixes of compounds, and the roots and bark carry compounds that are not generally recommended for use. Quality varies, so choose products with leaf as the stated part and good sourcing.

• Form: Oil

Moringa is a nutrient-rich leaf used to add vitamins, minerals and plant antioxidants to the diet. It is also traditionally used as a general tonic.

What does moringa taste like?

Moringa powder tastes green and slightly peppery, a little like matcha or spinach. Capsules avoid the flavour.

How much moringa should I take daily?

Common amounts range from one to two teaspoons of powder, or the capsule dose on your label. Start small and build up.

When is the best time to take moringa?

Morning or lunchtime suits most people. Some find it slightly energising, so evening may not suit everyone.

Is moringa the same as matcha?

No. Both are green powders, but they come from different plants and have different nutrient and compound profiles. Moringa is caffeine-free.

Can I take moringa while breastfeeding?

It is traditionally used in lactation, but you should check with your healthcare professional first.

Use the leaf only, as root and bark are not recommended. Avoid during pregnancy unless advised by a health professional. Moringa may interact with glucose-lowering, blood pressure and thyroid medicines, so check with your pharmacist or doctor.
