Moringa powder is a fine powder made from the dried leaves of the Moringa oleifera tree, often called the “miracle tree.” It is widely used as a nutritional supplement and traditional medicine because of its dense nutrient profile and health benefits. The powder contains rich amounts of proteins, vitamins (A, C, E), minerals (calcium, iron, potassium), antioxidants, amino acids, and bioactive compounds. These nutrients help support immune function, reduce inflammation, lower blood sugar and cholesterol, protect organs like the liver and heart, and improve skin and digestive health. Moringa powder is often consumed in smoothies, teas, or as a seasoning and is valued for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Enhancing skin health due to vitamins A and E, which protect against aging and oxidative damage, promoting radiant skin.
Combating anemia with high iron content that supports red blood cell production and reduces tiredness and fatigue.
Strengthening bones thanks to calcium and phosphorus content that maintain bone density and health.
Improving digestive health through fiber content that aids digestion, bowel regularity, and potentially weight management.
Supporting brain health via neuroprotective antioxidants that may improve cognition and protect against neurodegenerative diseases.
