Summarized Description: Moringa oleifera, also known as "drumstick tree" or "horseradish tree," is a veritable "superfood," loaded with nutrients -- offering tremendous benefits above and beyond its traditional applications in herbal medicine. Native to the Himalayas in northwestern India, Moringa now has broad geographic distribution, is drought-resistant, fast-growing, vigorous, for which there are uses for all its parts: leaves, pods, seeds, bark, and root.


Geographic Distribution
Moringa has widespread geographic distribution throughout Central and South America, Africa, and Southern Asia.


Nutritional Profile
Moringa has the broadest nutritional profile of any plant we have ever worked with. According to author Sanford Holst ("Moringa: Nature's Medicine Cabinet," p. 12), it has been found to contain, by weight, seven times more Vitamin C than oranges, four times the Vitamin A of carrots, three times the iron of spinach, four times as much calcium as milk, and three times the potassium of bananas. Though the term has been overused, Moringa really is a veritable "superfood." You will find variances on these figures, based on the studies relied on, but -- regardless -- the nutritional figures are impressive :


Uses & Protocols
Unless otherwise directed by your health care professional, take two (2) capsules, two times a day for general nutritional support. (This general instruction amounts to approximately 2,000 mg. per day intake.)

Warnings & Contraindications
"To date, absolutely no negative side effects to even daily consumption of Moringa have been recorded." (SAH:21) Note that this referring to the consumption of the leaves, primarly. The flowers as said to be abortifacient, so these should be avoided by women who are attempting to conceive, or women who are already pregnant.

Shelf-Life
Five years or more.
