There are so many ancient plants and herbs that can have an effect on cancer. It still amazes me that so many of them are still unknown. Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a different story, however. Moringa is a tree that grows in Latin America, Asia and Africa as well as parts of Oceania, including Micronesia and Polynesia.
It has been used for thousands of years in these areas but over the last decade or so, it has also been studied heavily in the West. It is often called the “miracle tree” because it can be beneficial on so many levels. The most exciting findings, however, are what this extraordinary plant (used widely in herbal medicine) can do to prevent and fight cancer growth.
In fact, moringa is so powerful, experts mention it multiple times in our upcoming documentary, Eastern Medicine: Journey Through ASIA.
#1. Moringa Lowers Inflammation
Ask any integrative or holistic professional and they will tell you: the main reason for any disease state, ultimately, is inflammation. Inflammation plays such a pivotal role in the development of any condition, including cancer, that even within the mainstream medical community, there is a whole theory based around it. It is called the inflammation theory of disease.1 It is based on years of scientific study which suggests that not only infectious diseases but also non-infectious ones have their root in inflammatory processes gone rogue.
One of the reasons why moringa is called a “miracle tree” is because of its power as an anti-inflammatory substance. One pivotal study was a 2002 French investigation2 which found that Moringa root helped treat acute inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and bronchitis.
Most research points to phytonutrient substances called isothiocyanates as the main compound that effects inflammatory responses in moringa.3 Many whole foods have anti-inflammatory constituents such as isothiocyanates within them. What’s unique about moringa is the amount of these substances that it contains.
#2. Moringa Fights Oxidation
While inflammation is the primary cause of disease, oxidative stress is the primary reason for inflammation. Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center involved in a 2010 landmark National Institutes of Health study4 put it best:
Extensive research during last two decades has revealed the mechanism by which continued oxidative stress can lead to chronic inflammation, which in turn could mediate most chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurological and pulmonary diseases.”
As you can see, the MD Anderson study has been out for close to ten years now. So why isn’t this common knowledge for most Americans? That is an entirely different story, but now you know so spread the word!
Getting back to moringa, several antioxidant substances that can help prevent and fight cancer have been discovered in the plant. These include quercetin, chlorogenic acid, vitamin C, and beta-carotene.
Menopausal women are at a higher risk for reproductive cancer,5 in large part because estrogen levels drop significantly during this time and so do antioxidant levels. One 2014 investigation published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology found that when menopausal women took 1.5 teaspoons of moringa leaf powder every day for three months, antioxidant levels increased significantly.6
Quercetin found in moringa is a powerful antioxidant that has especially been linked to cancer protection. A 2009 study published in the Journal of Cell Biochemistry found that even low doses of quercetin had the ability to inhibit cancer cell progression.7
Moringa leaf extract’s antioxidant effects are so powerful, it can also be used as a food preservative!8
#3. Moringa Provides Essential Nutrients
From what you know so far about moringa’s amazing health benefits, it should come as no surprise that moringa can help boost the immune system to fight cancer as well. In addition to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, it also contains a variety of essential nutrients that help the body on all levels. We already spoke about moringa’s high vitamin C content in relation to its antioxidant properties. Moringa leaves are also a good source9 of:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin K
- Vitamin E
- Calcium
- Potassium
- Phosphorus
- Copper
- Manganese
- Protein
- B vitamins (especially B6, B2 and B3)
- Iron
Moringa also contains a plethora of essential and non-essential amino acids, which are the very building blocks of life. Some of these include arginine, lysine, tryptophan, leucine, valine, and methionine.10
It should also be noted here that, according to some studies, moringa also contains a certain amount of “antinutrients.”11 These are substances such as tannins, phylates, calcium oxalates, and lectins that can slow or block nutrient absorption. The amount of antinutrients in moringa aren’t a concern for most people.
Keep in mind that while “antinutrients,” like tannins and lectins can block absorption of some nutrients, they are actually considered beneficial phytonutrients in other regards and their presence shouldn’t discourage you from taking advantage of all the wonderful benefits of moringa. Experts suggest, however, that if your diet consists mainly of legumes and grains (which also contain antinutrients), you should contact your holistic health professional or nutritionist to determine a moringa dose that is right for you.12
The nutrients that moringa provides may seem like humble vitamins and minerals that can be found in many vegetables and other whole foods. But remember that food is medicine! Much of the “medicine” needed to boost immunity and fight disease of any kind comes from ingesting foods that contain essential nutrients every day.
#4. Moringa Stimulates Cancer Cell Death
Finally, there is strong evidence to suggest that moringa helps fight cancer directly. It does this mainly through substances within it that stimulate the process of cancer cell death known as apoptosis.
A 2015 study13 published in the journal PLoS One took a look at the effect Moringa oleifera leaves, bark, and seed extracts had on both breast cancer and colon cancer lines in the laboratory. They found that all three increased the number of apoptotic cancer cells (i.e. cancer cells which have regained their ability to self-destruct like healthy cells) in both breast and colon cancer cell lines.
This study was significant because it was the first to determine that the bark as well as the leaves of the moringa tree can be cancer tumor-reducing.
Another study conducted by Israeli researchers found that moringa in conjunction with radiation therapy significantly decreased pancreatic cancer cell survival as well as metastasis. It also radically inhibited tumor growth. The investigators concluded that these results could not have been possible with radiation therapy alone. They suggest that:
The combination of moringa plus radiation resulted in an additional inhibitory effect that provided the rationale for further investigation of this combination as a novel strategy to overcome pancreatic cancer cell radioresistance.”14
These are just two examples amongst dozens of research studies15 that have focused on (and proven) moringa’s benefits for fighting cancer. Modern research now knows without a shadow of a doubt what ancient cultures around the world have known for centuries.
Moringa oleifera – the roots, leaves, seeds, and the bark – contains healing properties that have the ability to assist in cancer healing and prevention. Now you are no longer in the dark about this amazing substance. Don’t let your friends and family be either. Spread the word by sharing this article and continue the education and empowerment about natural health!
Want to learn how to use nature’s medicine chest?
We have this plant in a pot and plan transplant to ground. I was wondering if eating the leaves in smoothie would be beneficial to fight metastatic breast cancer .
I’ve seen YouTube videos on moringa and they use the leaves in salads. I use the powder in my smoothies but don’t see why you couldn’t use the leaves. But I’m not an expert, just have done lots or my own research on it.
The powder is made from leaves …
are the flowers good too, or only the leaves?
You will need to protect it from freezing weather in the winter.
You can get it in powder form from the drugstore, or from a health shop. I have been using it for a while now, but the powder tastes really bad, and it stings. So it would be better to get the capsules.
I have my moringa plants in the ground. I eat fresh leaves and flowers in salads and smoothies; I also use them with my scrambled eggs for breakfast. I dry the leaves to make tea. The seed pods are also good to eat before they get too big. I live in Phoenix, AZ, and the weather here is ideal. I do prune prune the branches and cover the plants if the weather gets cooler in the winter.
Thank you for all of the great information you two are a blessing to the United States as an RN I see sickness on the rise at rapid rates it’s very frightening thank you again
Thank you so much for your support and love, Kathy! We’re blessed to have you stand with us.
Thank you…
It’s our pleasure! 🙂
Hi there
I have been reading this article and I have a query. My boyfriend has had two episodes in the last twelve month of inflammation.
He was told he had bursitis elbow. Both elbows had serious inflammation which in turn spread up and down both arms.
He was treated for almost two weeks on the last occasion with iv antibiotics which cleared up the issue.
My concern is that it re occurs and may do so again
He went to see a kinesiologist who told him at the time he also had bacteria in his body and he took Bac for this
would this plant possibly help with this problem

Please also have him go to a therapist that knows how to work with the back of peoples necks and spines. I had both elbows the same way. After extensive treatment on my elbows they happen to work on my neck one time , Oh my goodness! I was pain-free! From then on all therapies focused on my neck and upper spine. Completely went away. Of course inflammation played a part in the extreme pain I was feeling. Getting that under control is also beneficial.
Thank you so much. I use Moringa powder for my breast cancer. But tends to skip it sometimes, because I don’t like the taste. This info just confirmed to me that it should be a daily habit instead as I was once again remi ded of the benefits. Treating cancer naturally can be a heavy burden on one’s finances and moringa isn’t so expensive.
Wishing you endless blessings and complete healing, Erika!
Where do you get your Moringa powder? I would appreciate this information.
Hope you have continued success!
Hi Carolyn –
Thanks for your note.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a specific brand recommendation for moringa powder at this time. But I would be happy to pass along this question/request on your behalf.
In the mean time, you could start with doing some research on USDA certified organic supplements available in a local shop or an online store. 🙂
If you have any further questions/concerns, please let us know as we are happy to help.
Blessings and love!
Look on amazon and in health stores.
I purchased vegetable glycerin capsules size 00. I fill them with moringa powder and take daily. It’s a messy job! However I make enough for 30 days, store them in a short glass jar, and refill as needed. There’s no taste and I get the same benefits. For me, I can’t consume more than a teaspoon a day or I’ll get a headache; so I learned thru trial and error how much my body can handle and it works. I take 1-2 of my capsules. With moringa, remember that a little goes a long way, so one does not need a heaping tablespoon to reap the benefits of this amazing powder! Also, when purchasing powder, you want a dark green, that is the color of fresh. If it’s light in color, don’t buy. Please note, I am not a doctor nor do I give medical advice. This is my personal information and it’s what works for me.
What is the best moringa powder to buy. Thanks for your advice.
I have had leukemia 10 years ago and I had a special Gene that gave me a cure that only 10% of the world has according to the University of Minnesota but I have to be careful I don’t see anybody anymore any doctors really ever go to one I only take two products of metoprolol and losartan .25 ml mg very very very low dosage and nothing else I am never sure as to what I can take in the line of supplements so I don’t make my kidneys worse they stay the same when I was in the hospital years ago I have an enlarged heart so I watch that too I don’t see a doctor for that either so would it be safe to take this product because I can’t have a lot of potassium or sodium or phosphorus thank you Barb

I can’t wait to see the new documentary! Content from TTAC is unparalleled and every series gives me encouragement that God’s creation holds within it what will truly heal our bodies. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Jeremy! We can’t wait to hear your feedback on the Eastern Medicine: Journey Through Asia documentary either. 🙂
I have been waiting impatiently to watch this new series.Thank you so much for making the information we need available without a long video that you wait until the end to see what they are talking about. I am deleting all of these “miracle products” from my e-mail, but TTAC has a special place for me. It got me started on my quest for a cure. I live in Oregon, have a medical cannabis and grower’s permit, have had diabetes for over 25 years and my husband now has colon cancer. Thanks for all you do for ALL OF US.
I have cured my skin, bladder and pancreatic cancer myself with natural solutions, primarily colonic irrigation and homoeopathy but now stay well with food grade diatomaceous earth one tablespoon in a large glass of water before food first thing in the morning. You can do this two or three times a day. Start with one teaspoon (plastic spoon) and work up as you get flu like Candida die-off symptoms in the beginning (herzheimer reaction). It cleans out your whole digestive system because although it looks like powder to,us it is made up of little diatoms which are like mini cheese graters and scrub your “pipes” clean. It also has a negative vibration like distilled water and attracts like a magnet all the positive nasty stuff, like Candida, worms, parasites, fungus. It is also 85% silica which inhibits cancer growth. This and cutting out all sugar and white flour and a ketogenic diet and stress reduction utube meditations works for me. Hope it works for you. Your colon is like a kitchen rubbish bin you have never emptied, now is the time to empty it! Good luck!
(The investigators concluded that these results could not have been possible with radiation therapy alone. They suggest that:
The combination of moringa plus radiation resulted in an additional inhibitory effect that provided the rationale for further investigation of this combination as a novel strategy to overcome pancreatic cancer cell radioresistance.”)
That extract I find disturbing. Use of radiation alone says it is no good but improved by using mornings with it. That is senseless. If the radiation alone doesn’t work, don’t use it. In any case AI am disappointed that this appears on Ty and Charlene’s website which is solidly against radiation use. I should point out too that all the benefits from moringa, good as the leaf is, (not necessarily the root or flowers, is easily available among many, many other fruits and vegetables without exception. It is not wise ever, to take highly concentrated levels of ANY natural nutrient, as the entire mechanism of the digestive and immune system thereof is to have sufficient of all nutrients from which the body will use as needed. High excess of any will result in both discharge of excess and/or an inflammatory response, the very thing the user proposes to alleviate. For a mind’s eye guide, imagine you lived in the times of the hunter/gatherer era, where you would pick a few berries here, a few leaves there and the not so often occasion of meat consumption, all of which by nature was ‘organic’ they would have eaten less than us, by a mile, yet expended far, far more energy in daily life than us. The point? We overeat by a mile in relation to energy expenditure. Correct that whilst sticking more and more to natural food prepared at home and never ever take supplements which can be very detrimental to health, because it encourages us to continue eating badly and taking high concentrates of nutrients which can backfire on health very easily.
Amazon sells it. By a company called “Feel Good” and it’s organic. I’ve been using it in my green smoothies.
Farafena.com is a Vancouver fair trade business working with Mali communities (Women of West Africa) You can buy online! I love their products! Try also fonio flour for your organic corn pancakes.
Thank you!
Where can i purchase this product MORINGA?
Amazon has the powder and teas
I get mine from Elgee Naturals. I get the oil, powder and lip balm. I found them because of Stockton Aloe. The doc interviewed them. I was impressed.
The best form of moringa is a company called zija it’s been around for over 12 years I have been taking their project for those years very easy to take comes in a powder you put it in water Shake It Up about 8 to 16 oz and drink it down keep shaking it cuz it is a powder. There’s many different moringa sellers out there zjian it’s the best formation of it they take care of it on the Harvest and the way they make it to keep the benefits that mother nature gave it International Company they get the moringa from India which is the best source in the world for it. Moringa also has a good report from John Hopkins Hospital a whole show on the Discovery Channel and if you Google what is the most nutrient plant in the world it will say moringa. And with zija backing it it is the best you can take. You can look up drummer. My zija. Dot-com it will show you history of the company the product all the products made from it it will actually show you the documentary that the Discovery Channel did on it. And I’m proud to say I’ve been with zija since the beginning
In the netherlands you can buy the tree and seeds, powder online. I bought a tree and grew a tree out of a seed. In winter I put the tree in my room in a pot. They blossom but it is impossible to get seed here. It is too cold
Wow Have been wondering about the plant for awhile, but had no idea what great properties it has. I am a firm believer in natural forms of medicine. Teas, Herbs and Healthy eating.
I am going to look into this more.
Thank you for all you’re hard work, it has opened my eyes, to the truth.
It is sold in powder, and pills and Natural stores like Whole Food, and The Vitamin Shoppe for those nit looking to grow there own tree. (Seeds are sold at Amazon)
What?? I can grow my own tree? I would love that. Do they grow in other than a tropical climate?

Moringa is a highly invasive species, out-competing many native plants and potentially upsetting some ecosystems in our country. I buy moringa powder from Dr. Mercola and am very pleased with it.
Thank you, Penny, I do not want to get an invasive species started in my area. I will buy the moringa at the local herb shop, but good to know that all parts of the plant are useful.
I just Googled it. Apparently you can purchase Moringa Powder at Whole Foods and Costco…so probably a lot of places. Maybe a good idea to have a conversation with a functional med practitioner about brands with the most integrity.
Here in South Africa you get it at health at health shops too, but I prefer to buy mine online from a company in the US that I know I can get the best value an best product from. One sachet is enough for me and my husband, so a box of Zija’s Moringa Supermix is enough for both of us for a month. It keeps us healthy, especially my husband who was the sick person in our family. He had 13 operations, had cancer and a lot of other incidents that we had to rush him to hospital. We are so glad that at 70 he is now very healthy, al thanks to natural products of which Moringa Supermix is one.
It is available online from nutritionforyou.myzija.com
A major cause of inflammation in your body is dairy. Once I gave up dairy my asthma, heartburn, IBS and unexplained hives all went away!
I trust the vitamin shop in Victoria B.C. As a woman named Donna there makes her knowledge available for all and they also have a Naturepath woman who will assist you for free….between the two woman they have helped me tremendously and they see to it that they have reliable sources…Hope this is of some help to everyone living on Vancouver Island….
I live in Mexico and have a Moringa Tree right outside my door. How do you make the tea or use it otherwise?

I see all the comments and I hope you seen some of my answers. I know cancer is so bad I watched my mother with lung cancer. There there are products that can help and the products can help with so many of variety things besides cancer and you get all your nutrition this product is the moringa tree there’s a book written about it called the miracle tree because its effects a good nutrition cancer and other diseases you’re not allowed to claim that because The Drug Administration is it making money on it so we can’t say for sure. But believe me I have seen it and you’ve read it here where it has helped. There’s an American company that is international call zija its formation of this plant the Harvest of this plant how they take care of it how they get it to you is the best in the world it’s just not getting it in a bag are just not buying a little from a store. And even if you’re completely healthy and want the most nutritious plant in the world in your body you take this everyday I have for the last 10 years I’m 64 and doing good I believe in this plant so much that when I was laid off for a year I put my money aside every month and figured out how I was going to get it and I did you take it everyday it comes in the package single-dose you put the powder in 8 to 15 ounces of water and Shake It Up good you have a beautiful greenish drink you can drink it on the spot or I like to make it the night before and put it in my refrigerator so it bonds with the water get up every morning before you eat 15 minutes before at least Shake It Up good drink it down they figured out how to make it taste good. There’s so many uses for this product that this company has come up for facials energy drink that’s all natural all kinds of drinks if you do work out and if you like sports. Underarm deodorant lip gloss they have the teas believe me the tea made out of the moringa specially made with other products in it will give you a nice detox and we’ll clean your your colon out. But the best way is to go on the website I’m going to give you and look around you will be amazed you can look at the documentary The Discovery Channel did on the moringa plant doctor plant and that’s his real name makes this product and oversees everything in the zija distributor an American company this International all over the world over 10 years old it’s still growing and I’ve been with them for 10 years and I take this every day without fail it even has a nice write-up from the John Hopkins Hospital you can see the miracle tree which is book has been written about it. And zija has made this plant that Mother Nature has made and they make it the best that man can produce it make it give it to you and deliver it to you the best possible way as if you went off and picked it from a tree actually it would be better then just getting it from the tree with how they produce it. So I’ve said enough I could say a lot more the best way is to go to the website take your time and look at everything look at the documentary by the Discovery Channel and see y it’s the best company that’s out and why it is grown so much all over the world and in places were they could actually go get the tree but they know it’s made better without zija put it all together for you. Again it’s an everyday thing it’s not just if you have ailments or diseases. Drummer. My zija. C o m look around on it you will be amazed and guarantee you you will feel a difference in your life both in sleep and function and if you have an exercise program.

I have been drinking moringa since 2010. It made so much of a difference in my life that I never miss a day. It is a gift from God. I .use Zija’s moringa for the reason that it is processed so very carefully to retain all properties. I lost alot ;of ailments and was not exhausted when I retired at nightI NOW THAT was a new way of life for me.
I
Thank you for all the information you so graciously give to help people.
How do you know how much powder to use? I have been mixing about 1/2 tsp in about 2 cups smoothies and drinking 1/4 of that over 4 days

I live in India and we cook the fleshy seed pod in a curry to eat it with rice. The leaves are also cooked or eaten as salad leaves. I used to love the curry as a kid and had even planted a sapling in my yard, although it didn’t survive a rather windy storm. One tip on planting in the yard: moringa roots spread horizontally and go deep as well to search for water. If planted near the house they can break through the foundation structure.
I use the leaf powder in my shakes, but it tastes horrible. I keep looking for a way to use it that makes it taste better. I have seeds to plant, but have not done so yet. Want to use the seeds as part of my shakes.
Ideas for making it taste? and How much is the right amount to use, how often? I keep seeing articles about this plant, no one has suggestions on its use.
Thank you.
I put a teaspoon of the powder in my oatmeal every morning. I don’t notice any taste from it at all.
I hope you don’t use Quaker Oats. Searching my pantry the other day I had an entire box of assorted oatmeal packets. Under ingredients were the words ‘genetically modified’!
I drink Moringa every morning! Tastes great and I feel Amazing! And the morning I’m using uses the leaves, bark and seeds.
I Plant 9 trees in my garden. It is the faster growing tree in the world and i make tea almost every day. taste great. I start making pasta to and i sell that in the stores. I eat the leaves fresh and i add the leaves at my salad.
I recently found a product called cocoringa at my health food store. It tastes absolutely delicious! It is cocao mixed with moringa
I tried mixing moringa powder with carrot or apple juice, but I agree with you, Connie. It tasted horrible! But I found a better way. I add a teaspoon (or a bit more) of moringa to my breakfast mix of almond milk, chia seeds, sprouted ground flaxseed, banana, raspberries, blueberries etc. I use organic frozen berries and heat the mix if organic fresh berries are not available. This way I hardly notice the strong “greenness” of moringa.
Thank you for this article because it reassured me about Moringa! Yesterday I bought a bottle of Moringa at Sprouts! I am recovering from Cancer myself! I caught the Cancer in time and fortunately I did not have to have any Chemo or radiation treatment! I also take Turmeric Curcumin on a daily basis! Al i know is that I don’t want cancer again so I am trying to do everything in my power to prevent having cancer again! On a positive note, My family have a pomegranite tree so we are getting plenty of antioxidents!! So far, so good . . .
Hi Anne –
We’re so happy to hear that this article was beneficial to you.
What a blessing to have caught your cancer before it progressed. We’ll be sure to keep you in our prayers!
We have some resources and support some groups that may be helpful to you.
From our beginning, we have supported charities that really help these cancer patients.

Also, the Independent Cancer Research Foundation is another charity that we support, also known as Cancer Tutor. They have been a TREMENDOUS help for cancer patients and have a TON of life saving information they give out freely and they do real research into treatments for cancer that are outside of the toxic Big Pharma Big 3:

The best that we can suggest is to contact Healing Strong and Cancer Crackdown for any need in financial resources.
We also support Mary Beth’s “Nick Gonzalez Foundation” which is bringing Nick’s protocol to the people…which is one of the most powerful cancer killing protocols out there.
I hope this is helpful! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us again if there’s anything else we can help with.
Wishing you endless blessings and love!
I get mine from the only company that uses the fruit, seeds and leaves and makes it enzymatically active and bioavailable on a cellular level.
Hi can you get this in England do you know.
I am from Philippines we have a lot of moringa tree here just add me in my fb account
Hi. We have a shop in our town with all sorts of herbs, so I bought mine in there, but you can buy online, from Amazon or eBay. By the way, I saw in HOLLAND&BARRETS too. I hope this helps.
What company is that?
OK so what is the Company?
Becky, Diane and Sally, I didn’t write the original post, but Dena was referring to Zija International, whose flagship products, SmartMix, SuperMix and XMPlus, are a proprietary mix of the ground leaves, flowers, and seeds of the Moringa Oleifera variety that we reconstitute into a drink by adding to water, which makes it enzymatically alive and instantly bioavailable….God’s multi-vitamin in one drink every morning!
Where can i get moringa seed to plant some trees. Thanks

I started taking Moringa powder a year ago after hearing how it works against cancer, but I had forgotten just how it does work, so thanks for the article.
Do you have an organic recommendation please? I’m In the UK.
Thanks

I mix my moringa leaves in a green smoothie in the morning, it’s our powerhouse daily starter 🙂
1 Teaspoon moringa leaves
1 Teaspoon organic matcha powder (matcha doesn’t have the same come down/crash as coffee)
half an advocado
half a green apple (Granny Smith)
Half to a full teaspoon of organic ginger powder (to just cut up ginger)
1 teaspoon to 1.5 teaspoons of psyllium husk (for fibre – helps with colon clease 😊 )
Then fill up my shaker cup with purified water
Then press the shaker/NutriBullet button – whoosh
Result: Super Green smoothie !! Hubby and my go to every morning
We then have a boiled egg (or non farmed salmon sometimes) for protein which keeps us fuller for longer if we have time.
Our energy has increased two fold 😁🌈🍀🍁🍂🌿🦋💫🏡🌱🎋🙌
I am a Lactation Consultant and one of the supplements I recommend to increase milk production is moringa ! I had no idea it had so much more to offer.
That’s great to know, Opal!
Thank you for sharing.
I saw an article the other day where they purchased a kit on Amazon which includes 00 size capsules and you make your own capsules with kit and that way you don’t have to taste the Moringa.
The medications I took cannot lower my blood pressure. I struggled for two years without any improvement, than someone told me to try the Morning , I was shocked within 3 days of using the morning my blood pressure dropped from 198 to 130 It’s really a miracle . Now I help many people who are struggling with blood pressure.
Thank you for the great information! I have recently been looking into Moringa but don’t know what what brand is good. Are there any recommendations? Thank you!
Hi Brenda –
Thanks for your note.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a specific brand recommendation for supplements at this time. But I would be happy to pass along this question/request on your behalf.
In the mean time, you could start with doing some research on USDA certified organic supplements available in a local shop or an online store. 🙂
If you have any further questions/concerns, please let us know as we are happy to help.
Blessings and love!
Does anyone know of reputable brands for moringa? My aunt just got diagnosed stage 4 melanoma and i am at a loss of even where to start..
I live in Ireland ,we wouldn’t have the Moringa here,so where could I buy this? Also would it be in powder form or tablet? Thanks.
I purchased Moringa powder awhile back and after reading this post, I have now become a daily user. Because I don’t do smoothies, I use it with my Terragreens, Collegan powder, and Prebiotic powder drink and take with my vitamins.
