With herbal remedies, it is always best to start low and go slow. The idea dose can vary from person to person and change over time.

What’s better capsules or powder?
This is a question only you can answer. Ask yourself – what am I most likely to incorporate into my daily routine?
Moringa Powder Benefits: Rapid absorption, mild & pleasant taste, multiple applications in food and drink & long shelf life. Great addition to smoothies & juices, far more palatable than some spirulina, matcha or super-green powders.
Negatives: Powder doesn’t dissolve easily.
Moringa Capsules Benefits: Easy to travel with, shelf-stable, easy to consume with water, no taste, no texture.
Negatives: You may need to take +10 capsules daily, capsules may feel large to swallow initially, with slightly slower absorption/activation.
Which is better, fresh leaf or dried moringa powder?
If you’re lucky enough to have an established moringa tree in your garden, then fresh is probably better, as it contains higher levels of Vitamin C. But the problem is, once leaves are picked, they start to wilt within hours affecting their pleasant taste & nutritional properties. And picking over 500g of leaves per week may negatively affect the growth of your ‘miracle tree’.
For the rest of use Premium Moringa Powder is best because it has a long shelf, retaining potent nutritional compounds, particularly antioxidants & amino acids.
On average moringa leaves will reduce 90% – meaning 80g of fresh leaf will dry to become 8g of powder, which is considered by some the optimal daily dose.
What’s the best way to store Moringa Powder?
The best way to preserve the quality of your premium Moringa powder is to re-seal the bag immediately after opening, then store it in a cool, dark and dry place.
How does Moringa oleifera leaf powder interact with other medications?
There have been no negative reports. However, (as stated above) it’s always best to start low and go slow when starting a new herbal remedy.
Supplementing your diet with moringa can improve your health naturally, resulting in you potentially needing to reduce the strength of your medication or eliminate it completely.
Some people may wish to speak with their doctor prior to starting, and others may wish to have semi-regular check-ups to monitor their progress in combating chronic health conditions naturally.
When will I see the results?
Everybody responds differently to moringa powder. Some people will notice benefits immediately, while others may take a few weeks or months. If you’re using our dose guide, you will most likely start to see benefits within 2 – 3 weeks.
