Moringa, also known as Moringa Oleifera, is the world's most nutritious plant with a remarkably high content of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids. This powerful plant also contains bioactive ingredients such as plant sterols, quercetin, and isothiocyanates that are considered to have a number of positive impacts on the health of the body.
Laboratory tests show a content of 92 different nutrients, 46 different types of antioxidants, 18 different amino acids, 9 of which are essential amino acids. This makes moringa a complete supplement for amino acids, which is rare in the plant world.
For centuries, this nutritious plant has been used as a traditional plant-based folk remedy and recent research is increasingly coming up with more findings on its potent content and health-giving effect on the body.
Antioxidants are important for protecting your cells from free radicals that inflict oxidative stress on your body — a process that causes cell damage and can lead to cell death. As we age and when we are exposed to stress, our body is less equipped to fight against such oxidation and we may then experience fatigue, less energy, and premature aging of the skin and other organs. To prevent and repair damage at the cellular level, it is therefore important to provide the body with nutrition that is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize harmful compounds and repair damage to your cells. Moringa has a remarkably high content of antioxidants. Higher than coffee, akai berries, pomegranate, and even blueberries!
