Moringa’s potential benefits cover a wide range of wellness bases. Here are seven ways it may help your health.
1. May Reduce Inflammation
2. May Protect Against Arthritis
3. Could Lower Blood Sugar
4. Could Benefit Heart Health
The herb’s multitasking antioxidants may also get involved in cardiovascular health and “may protect the heart by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress,” Ploesser says. Note that these areas require further study in humans.
5. May Improve Memory
6. May Protect Liver Health
7. May Support the Immune System
“Due to its high levels of vitamins A and C, moringa may help boost immune function,” Ploesser says. “The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of moringa could also play a role in preventing infections.” It’s worth noting that the amounts of vitamins A and C in a standard serving (2 teaspoons) of moringa powder are relatively low. Significantly higher doses of moringa may be required to achieve immune health benefits.
