What is Moringa?

The moringa tree is known as 'the miracle tree' and is native to parts of Africa and Asia.  It's leaves contain an absolute wealth of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.  These provide numerous health and beauty benefits if consumed regularly.  It is said to be one of the most nutrient dense foods on Earth. Wow!  

 

Moringa powder is made by harvesting the small green leaves from the tree.  These are picked before dawn, cleaned in purified water and shade dried to reduce sunlight damage.  This careful process also increases the nutritional content.  Once dried, the leaves are ground into a fine green powder.

 

This process ensures the maximum amount of nutrients are retained within the powder as well as superb quality and freshness.  As a powder the moringa contains even more antioxidants and has a prolonged shelf life.

 

 

Moringa is a natural multivitamin.  It contains vitamins A, C, E and K as well as B vitamins.  There is simply no need to take questionable synthetic multivitamin tablets when nature already provides us with this goodness!

 

It contains the recommended daily allowance of at least 13 vitamins and minerals and is a good source of many more.

 

Some of the minerals in moringa include phosphorus, zinc, calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese and iron.  It is exceptionally high in protein at almost 25% and contains all the essential amino acids required by the body.

 

It's a source of fibre too.  Go moringa!

 

Moringa has a high antioxidant content including phytochemicals.  Phytochemicals protect cells against the damage caused by free radicals.

 

This super high nutrient content of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants has numerous health and beauty benefits for humans.  Just some are listed below.
