Moringa Benefits

The Moringa Tree is one of the most nutrient-rich plants in the world, with endless health benefits.

Moringa Powder is made from naturally-dried moringa leaves. It has a delicious spinachy green flavour and is:

• 25% protein 
• 31% fibre
• A rich source of iron, vitamin A & vitamin K
• A source of vitamin E, calcium & magnesium
• High in antioxidants

As Moringa Powder is a natural source of these nutrients, it is more bioavailable than synthetic supplements. This means our bodies can absorb the nutrients more easily, ensuring a greater uptake. 

TOP 10 HEALTH AND BEAUTY BENEFITS OF MORINGA 

A single serving of Aduna Moringa Powder (10g or 2-3 teaspoons) provides:

• Iron: 46.8% of your daily requirement (NRV) 
• Magnesium: 19.1% of NRV
• Vitamin A: 32.5% of NRV

Iron and Magnesium both support the reduction of tiredness and fatigue in the body, and Vitamin A supports the metabolism of Iron². Adding moringa to your daily routine is an effective, natural way to prevent tiredness and fatigue.

The rich iron content of moringa powder also makes it ideal for vegan, vegetarians and those suffering from anaemia.

It is packed with skin-loving vitamins including:

• Vitamin A: 32.5% of NRV
• Vitamin E: 16.9% of NRV

Vitamin A is essential for healthy, radiant skin and Vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress helping fight the signs of ageing.

Moringa has one of the highest antioxidant contents of any food. With an ORAC value of 157,000³, it has 6x the antioxidants of goji berries and comparable levels to the antioxidant powerhouse matcha. 

Antioxidants are essential for protecting, repairing and preventing cell damage, helping support the ageing process of the skin in the long-term. They counteract oxidative stress and the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage collagen causing skin dryness, fine lines, wrinkles and premature ageing.

The skin benefits of moringa are so exceptional that Aduna Moringa Powder is one of the first food items to ever be sold in the beauty halls of prestigious London department stores Liberty and Selfridges.

One of the best moringa benefits is its super immune-boosting powers. Maintaining a healthy immune system is essential for helping our bodies stave off infections and illnesses. Moringa Oleifera leaves are an extremely rich source of:

• Iron: 46.8% of NRV
• Vitamin A: 32.5% of NRV

Both of which are essential for the normal function of the immune system.

Many studies have been done about moringa's potential as an anti-cancer agent. Moringa leaves have been shown to have beneficial properties in the fight against both breast and colon cancer cells⁴ and research is ongoing. 

Moringa oleifera leaves are almost 25% protein, which is unusually high for a plant. Moringa powder contains 9 essential amino acids making it a complete source of protein, supporting the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. The high protein content of moringa makes it particularly beneficial for vegans and vegetarians who can struggle to get a sufficient protein supply.

One of the key moringa benefits is its high magnesium content. Magnesium is essential for normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. This super-mineral has been named by Psychology Today magazine as "The Original Chill Pill... an old home remedy for anxiety, apathy, depression, headaches, insecurity, irritability, restlessness... and sulkiness." Read the full article here.
