Moringa leaf powder is a highly bio-available powerhouse of nutrients. It’s an excellent source of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin A and K1. High in protein, iron and vitamin E. The high protein content makes it particularly beneficial for vegans and vegetarians.
Moringa leaf powder is made from the leaves of Moringa oleifera, a small tree that is widely known for its medicinal and health benefits. Moringa leaves are picked when they are at their most tender and then dried and milled to form a fine powder packed with vitamins and minerals.
WHERE DOES MORINGA COME FROM?
Moringa is thought to be an African plant as it has been planted in Africa for hundreds of years where it is prized for its nutritious leaves and fruit, however the moringa plant actually originates from India. Our BaoActive Moringa powder is sourced from local producers in Limpopo where it has been grown for decades by local people. Here, it grows in ideal conditions where we have selected the best quality leaves for our BaoActive products.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Moringa leaf powder has almost 25% protein and 9 essential amino acids making it a complete source of protein, supporting the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
One of the most notable properties of Moringa leaf powder is that it’s an excellent source of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) which is not as widely known as other vitamins. Vitamin K1 is required to build strong bones and teeth and enable healthy blood clotting. In addition, K1 has anti-inflammatory effects, protecting the brain against oxidative stress and plays a key role in modulating cognition and healthy brain function. But that’s just the beginning of Moringa’s many nutritional benefits.
