Moringa oleifera – Leaves

Moringa oleifera is a tree that is sometimes called the Tree of Life or a Miracle Tree, but rather than this being in reference to its potential medicinal usage this is actually referring to how it is a very valuable food crop (it is drought resistant, grows very fast, and is highly nutritive).

For usage as a supplement, Moringa oleifera is recommended mostly as being a highly nutritious antioxidant. Evidence suggests that it has a respectable anti-inflammatory potency. It contains compounds structurally similar to sulforaphane and appears to be protective when orally ingested. But the antioxidant properties seem to underlie the vast majority of benefits associated with Moringa oleifera.
