When it comes to moringa benefits, there are almost too many to count! Native to Africa and Asia, the Moringa Tree, or Moringa Oleifera to use its scientific name, is one of the most nutrient-rich plants in the world.
Moringa Powder is made from naturally-dried moringa leaves. It has a delicious spinachy green flavour and is:
-
25% plant protein including all 9 essential amino acids
-
24% fibre
-
A rich source of iron, vitamin K & E
-
A source of vitamin A & calcium
-
High in antioxidants
As Moringa Powder is a natural source of these nutrients, it is highly bioavailable, so our bodies can absorb the benefits more easily than by taking synthetic supplements.
In this article we take a more detailed look at the top 10 health and beauty benefits of moringa.
REDUCTION OF TIREDNESS & FATIGUE
Aduna Moringa Powder has been heralded by Vogue magazine as "redefining beauty from within." It is jam-packed with skin-loving vitamins including:
- Vitamin A: 18.9% of NRV
- Vitamin E: 16.9% of NRV
Vitamin A is essential for healthy, radiant skin and vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress helping fight the signs of ageing. Moringa also has one of the highest antioxidant contents of any food. With an ORAC value of 157,000, it has 6x the antioxidants of goji berries and comparable levels to the antioxidant powerhouse matcha. Antioxidants are essential for protecting, repairing and preventing cell damage, minimising the ageing process of the skin in the long-term. They help counteract oxidative stress and the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage collagen causing skin dryness, fine lines, wrinkles and premature ageing.

The skin benefits of moringa are so exceptional that Aduna Moringa Powder is one of the first food items to ever be sold in the beauty hall of prestigious London department store Liberty.
