What is in Moringa?
Moringa is nature’s Miracle Tree
Moringa has medicinal properties and contains many healthful compounds such as:
- vitamin A
- vitamin B1 (thiamine)
- B2 (riboflavin)
- B3 (niacin), B-6
- folate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
- calcium
- potassium

It is also extremely low in fats and contains no harmful cholesterol.
What are the health benefits?
“Moringa has been found to have anti-tumour, antipyretic (fever reducing), anti-epileptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, anti-spasmodic, diuretic, anti-hypertensive, cholesterol-lowering, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective (protective of the liver), antibacterial and anti-fungal properties..”
Moringa has been shown to have many health benefits and its uses range from health and healing, especially anti-inflammatory properties, to helping prevent and sometimes cure diseases and injuries.
The benefits of Moringa include:
Moringa seed oil is beneficial for protecting hair (or fur) against free radicals and keeps it clean and healthy. Moringa also contains protein, which means it is helpful in protecting skin cells from damage. It also contains hydrating and detoxifying elements, which also boost the skin and hair.
It can be successful in curing skin infections and sores.
The powerful antioxidants found in Moringa extract might help prevent cardiac damage and has also been shown to maintain a healthy heart.
Extract of moringa has been shown to help wounds close as well as reduce the appearance of scars.
Moringa helps to reduce the amount of glucose in the blood, as well as sugar and protein in the urine. This improved the hemoglobin levels and overall protein content in those tested.
Moringa may help reduce the severity of some asthma attacks and protect against bronchial constrictions. It has also been shown to assist with better lung function and breathing overall.
People (and dogs) may be less likely to develop stones in the kidneys, bladder or uterus if they ingest Moringa extract. Moringa contains high levels of antioxidants that might aid toxicity levels in the kidneys.
Moringa contains isothiocyanate and niaziminin, compounds that help to stop arteries from thickening, which can cause blood pressure to rise.
Moringa contains eyesight-improving properties thanks to its high antioxidant levels. Moringa may stop the dilation of retinal vessels, prevent the thickening of capillary membranes, and inhibit retinal dysfunction.
Moringa might help a person’s body absorb more iron, therefore increasing their red blood cell count. It is thought the plant extract is very helpful in treating and preventing anemia and sickle cell disease.
Moringa is the main component in our Miracle Greens blend (along with barley grass, hemp and Tasmanian kelp) and is also in our Kanga Kisses treats.
Give them some everyday!
