LOWERS BLOOD SUGAR AND PROTECTS AGAINST DIABETES

Treats and prevents diabetes

Moringa leaf is a useful natural supplement for treating and preventing diabetes, and may even reverse type 1 and 2 diabetes in studies with rats. 

Maintains healthy blood sugar levels

In studies, moringa helps prevent sugar spikes after meals and reduces fasting blood sugar levels in both diabetic and non-diabetic animals. Maintaining healthy blood sugar is key to reducing inflammation, boosting your mood, and preventing heart disease and diabetes. Other antioxidants in moringa help protect insulin-producing cells from damaging oxidative stress. 

Prevents diabetes complications

The antioxidant phytochemicals in moringa leaves also help protect the kidney and retinas from diabetes-related damage, and studies show that moringa supplementation can help restore kidney and pancreas functions in diabetic rats. 

REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATION

Lowers inflammation

Moringa is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, and helps soothe chronic inflammation in your body by suppressing inflammatory enzymes and boosting production of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Reducing inflammation is the No. 1 goal of the Bulletproof Diet, and key to increasing your longevity, strength, and resilience to chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and obesity.

Reduces oxidative stress and DNA damage

Moringa also boasts an impressive arsenal of antioxidants including vitamins C and E, flavonoids and polyphenols. These compounds scavenge harmful free radicals, and protect your cells from oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammation. 

Prevents weight gain

An extra perk? Reducing blood sugar, inflammation, and oxidative stress can all help prevent unwanted weight gain.

DEFENDS AGAINST VIRAL, FUNGAL, AND BACTERIAL INFECTIONS

Food poisoning

Several compounds in moringa are naturally antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic. This makes moringa useful in food preservation and water purification, and protecting you from nasty food-borne bugs like salmonella or fungi.

Herpes and HIV

These effects are so strong, that moringa is used as a promising treatment against herpes simplex virus and HIV. 

UTIs and stomach bugs:  Incorporating moringa in your diet can help boost your resilience against blood or digestive bacterial infections.

Fungal infections and acne

Moringa oils applied topically can fight fungal skin infections and acne.

MORINGA FIGHTS CANCER AND TRIGGERS CELL DEATH

Enhances cancer therapy

Moringa may play an exciting role in treating cancer, and enhancing cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. Moringa leaves pack a potent dose of antioxidants, compounds that ward off cancers by neutralizing free-radicals that can damage cells and DNA to trigger tumor development. 

Triggers cancer cell death

Studies show that specific moringa leaf extracts such as glucosinolates and quercetin help inhibit growth and trigger cell death in growing tumors. Along with these exciting cancer-fighting properties, another study shows that treatment with moringa leaf extracts actually increased the effect of chemotherapy in human pancreatic cells. 

DEFENDS AGAINST COGNITIVE DECLINE

Another benefit of moringa’s high antioxidant content is its ability to protect your brain tissue against neurodegeneration and damage. Moringa leaf extract may be valuable in treating memory-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. In one rat study, treatment with moringa helped regulate and restore healthy neurotransmitter levels after Alzheimer’s-like brain damage. 

PROTECT YOUR KIDNEYS AND LIVER

Certain compounds present in moringa help to protect your kidney and liver against toxins or drug exposure. Moringa’s high antioxidant content and ability to detoxify heavy metals make it an ideal supplement for supporting kidney and liver health. But what about all that calcium? Moringa is high in calcium oxalates, but not the kind of oxalates that cause kidney stones. Moringa calcium oxalates are non-soluble, which means your body can excrete them without worrying about kidney stones. 

STRENGTHENS SKIN AND HAIR

While moringa leaf helps you glow from the inside, moringa oils can boost your glow from the outside. 

Hydrates skin

Pressed from seeds and leaves, this vitamin and antioxidant-rich oil makes an excellent skin cleanser, hydrating moisturizer or hair treatment. 

Fights wrinkles & sagging skin

High vitamin C levels help boost natural collagen production and protect your skin from oxidative stress, fighting off wrinkles, sagging and sun damage.

Keeps skin clear

and its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties can also help clear skin problems such as acne or blackheads.

Heals wounds

Moringa oil also helps heal wounds and skin damage by promoting the growth and movement of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen in wound healing. 

TREATS LOW-IRON ANEMIA

Moringa is an ideal iron supplement, and perfect for vegetarians who may need help hitting their iron and protein intake. On top of providing a potent plant-based iron, compounds in moringa actually improve iron absorption levels, increase red blood cell counts, and prevents the breakdown of red blood cells seen in sickle-cell anemia.
