Hello there,
I am looking for information on Moringa leaf powder as a supplement for moderately malnourshed patients, including infants and young children. I am having trouble finding evidence on whether it is safe (i.e. not harmful), effective, and suitable in emergency contexts. I'd be grateful for any insight on this.
Thank you kindly,
Helen

Helen;
There is no formal experience that I know of using moringa leaf supplements. In general moringa provides a rich mixture of antioxidants. Moringa is not a rich source of energy. While this is not harmful, it is unlikely to address the acute problem, lack of food. I would be careful not to give moringa to children < 6 months of age, as the immature liver may not be able to metabolize the antioxidants.
I would not spend much time on Moringa as it unlikely to help more than just a little bit.

12 years agoI would say that there are many people who are promoting [url=http://www.maxtransformation.com/]moringa[/url] based products in their own way. Moringa is a certified from the govt. organization in giving better results in less time. I am growing some of moringa plants in my personnel garden.

12 years agoI disagree. Do your research Helen, and also try to experiment, Moringa does more good than harm. I have been feeding it to my daughter since she was 3 months old and have had only positive effects, for example Strong bones and teeth due to the vast amounts of calcium and other macro and micro elements.
As an athlete I consume vast amounts as it contains all 9essentail and 9 non--essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, huge amounts of magnesium, great for good muscle and general immune health and so on....
Do your research Helen
