Why should someone consider using Moringa oleifera?
(Information taken from"The Moringa Consumer Awareness Guide" available on Amazon.com)
Different parts of this plant contain a profile of important minerals, and are good source of protein, 92 nutrients, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, antioxidants and micronutrients. Moringa is a safe and proven way to supply much needed nutrients to the body as well as help fight free radicals with the 46 anti-oxidants found in its leaves. It has been classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) food source without any negative secondary effects. There are several companies with nutrition drinks, such as MV, which claims to be a high antioxidant, but their ORAC Score is only 12.5. And NR from wolfberries with an ORAC score of 364. However, Moringa oleifera has an ORAC score of 157,000! Now you tell me, which one is going to really make a difference in your life and health?
The Moringa plant provides a rich and rare combination of zeatin, quercetin, beta-sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol. It also has compelling water purifying powers in the high nutritional value plant. The leaves, roots, seed, bark, fruit, flowers and immature pods art as cardiac and circulatory stimulants, and give consumers true natural energy. With over
Why has Moringa captured the attention of the National Institues of Health and the World Health Organization?
FAO, UN, UNESCO, World Health Organization and others have programs promoting the use of Moringa to treat infants, children and pregnant or lactating women. Three non-governmental organizations in particular -- Trees for Life, Church World Service and Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization -- advocate Moringa as "natural nutrition for the tropics". Just 25 grams daily of Moringa leaf powder will give a child the following recommended daily allowances: Protein 42%, Calcium 125%, Magnesium 61%, Potassium 41% Iron 71%, Vitamin A 272%, and Vitamin C 22%. These numbers are particularly astounding. Even the pro-big pharma National Institutes of Health (NIH) named Moringa the plant of the year in 2008. The NIH has learned that no other single species has the potential to help reverse multiple major environmental problems and provide for unmet human needs. The National Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation, and the United Nations World Food Program all recognize Moringa as having based entire nutrition programs and sustainability programs around the planet.
Gram for gram, Moringa leaves contain 7x the vitamin C as oranges, 4x the calcium in milk, 4x the vitamin A in carrots, 2x the protein in milk and 3x the potassium in bananas.
Moringa does to help detoxify the body:
Dr John Klippel, president of the Arthritis Foundation, "Supplements continue to be an important option for some people. We're reminding people there are lots of choices that people need to make and supplements are one of them." If you think a simple answer to complex health problems can't possibly be found in one source-much less a natural source, think again. Moringa oleifera AKA the "Miracle Tree" could be just what the doctor ordered. Google "What is the most nutritious plant" and you'll find Moringa oleifera.
Moringa Oleifera contains all 18 Amino Acids
Isoleucine -- builds proteins and enzymes, stimulates the brain, promotes muscle recovery after physical exercise, regulates blood sugar levels and is used to make the vital iron carrying hemoglobin.
Leucine -- is used in the liver, but primarily in the muscle and fat. It is used in the biosynthesis of sterols in the body and has the ability to stimulate muscle growth and inhibit muscular degradation.
Lysine -- is important for proper growth, and it plays an essential role in the production of Carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine aids in the absorption of calcium, plays an important role in the formulation of collagen (benefits bones, connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage) and the formulation of antibodies, hormones and connective tissues.
Methionine -- is best known for its ability to supply sulfur and other compounds required for the metabolism and growth. Sulfur is a key element and vital to the utilization of a number of antioxidant nutrients. It lowers cholesterol and reduces fat in the liver while increasing lecithin production.
Phenylalanine -- the body changes this into tyrosine, another amino acid that is needed to make proteins and neurotransmitters, including L-dopa, epinephrine and norepinephrine and thyroid hormones. Norepinephrine can affect mood, and different forms of phenylalanine have been proposed to treat depression.
Threonine -- helps the liver reduce fat, maintains protein balance and supports cardiovascular, liver, central nervous system and immune system function by being involved in the production of antibodies. It is involved in the production of collagen, elastin (remember in earlier Blogs about skincare, you can not add collagen or elastin to your skin from a skincare product, your body must produce this), and muscle tissue, especially the heart, where it is found in higher concentration and may decrease wound healing and recovery time from injury. Links indicate the Threonine may be beneficial in the treatment of Aryotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Multiiple Sclerosis (MS).
Tryptophan -- assists normal growth in infants and for nitrogen balance in adults. The body uses tryptophan to help make the B vitamin, Niacin, and the nerotransmitter, Seratonin. Seratonin regulates mood, appetite and sleep and decreases levels of this neurotransmitter is linked to depression. Tryptophan supports your immune system, alleviates insomnia, reduces anxiety, depression and relieves symptoms of migraine headaches.
Valine -- Is a branched-chain amino acid found in high concentration in muscle tissue. Valine is helpful in treating addictions. A deficiency may affect the myelin covering of nerves. Aside from being a component of many proteins, very little is known about the independent function of Valine.
Alanine -- is important when it comes to providing energy for your muscle tissue, brain, and central nervous system. This common amino acid is manufactured from other metabolites in the liver and plays a key role in the breaking down of glucose for energy and stabilizes glucose levels during exercise. Alanine is used in the production of neurotransmitters, antibodies and stimulates lymphocyte production.
Arginine -- plays an important role in cell division, the healing of wounds, removing ammonia from the body, immune function, and the release of hormones. It has been shown in studies to cause the release of the growth hormones considered necessary for muscle growth and tissue repair, decreasing healing time. Arginine is a precursor for the production of nitric oxide and is related to treating erectile dysfunction and providing cardiovascular benefits (lowering blood pressure) as it relaxes smooth muscle, acts as a vasodialator and increases blood flow.
Aspartic Acid -- acts as a neurotransmitter and is involved in hormone production and release and nervous system function.
Cysteine -- is a non-essential amino acid. In certain cases such as premature infants, the elderly, or those with metabolic disease or a malabsorption syndrome it may be considered to be essential and must be supplied from dietary sources. Cysteine acts as an antioxidant and protects against radiation and pollution. Like all antioxidants, it will slow the agieing process, deactivate free radicals, and neutralize toxins. Cysteine is involved in the formation of one of the most potent detoxifiers in the body, glutathione in the lungs, liver, kidneys and bone marrow.
Glutamic Acid -- helps to prevent ammonia intoxication, and is an active neurotransmitter substance and is important for memory and learning. By being converted into the anti-neurotransmitter GABA, Glutamic Acid may help to prevent seizures.
Clycine -- is used for muscular tissue, DNA and RNA creation and converting glucose into energy. It prevents muscular degeneration by increasing levels of creatine. It is also important for the digestive system and nervous system function acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter.
Histidine-- in infants and may be essential for some adults. Histidine is used to form histamine a neurological compound released during allergic responses. It is used for growth and for the repair of tissue, as well as the preservation of the myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells. Histidine is required for the fabrication of both red and white blood cells, and helps to protect the body from damage caused by radiation and in heavy metals detoxification.
Serine-- plays a major role as catalyst for many enzyme functions and synthesizes the fatty-acid based sheaths around nerve fibers. Serine is involved in the formation of immunoglobulin's and antibodies strengthening the body's immune system. Plus, it synthesizes fatty acid sheaths around nerve fibers.
Proline -- aids in the production of collagen and therefore affects joints, cartilage, tendons, the heart and skin. It is a precursor to Glutathione and very important for strengthening the heart.
Tyrosine -- is a building block for several nerotransmitters, including epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine and supports the function of the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. Tyrosine is a factor in regulation endocrine hormonal function and structurally is a component in most of the proteins in the body.

Moringa does to help detoxify the body:
- Moringa facilitates a more rapid elimination of metals from the body
- Moringa stimulates the formation of metal-binding proteins, which detoxify the metals
- Moringa may inhibit the binding of these metals with cells at receptor sites
