"Scientifically speaking, Moringa sounds like magic. It can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and enable a malnourished mother to nurse her starving baby. Doctors use it to treat diabetes in West Africa and high blood pressure in India .... And it's not only good for you, it's delicious." - Los Angeles Times
From Osyris Uqoezwa -
Moringa Tea is the powdered leaves of the Moringa Oleifera tree. These leaves are packed with powerful nutrition that everybody needs, especially children, mothers, students, and athletes. It provides such an impressive number of essential vitamins and minerals in high quantity that it is described as “the miracle tree” - especially high in Calcium, Iron, and Vitamin A. It also comes complete with high quality protein. Unlike most plant foods, nutritional analysis shows that Moringa is very high in protein and contains all of the essential amino acids. Moringa may provide the boost in energy, nutrition and health you are seeking.
Beyond providing a natural energy boost, people also report other desirable effects – including stronger immune system, improved skin condition, controlled blood pressure, relief from headaches and migraines, balanced blood sugar levels, reduced inflammation and arthritis pains, reduced tumor growth and healed ulcers.
But what makes Moringa tea exceptional is that every pack sold gets us a step closer to really making a difference in reversing malnutrition, here at home and in developing countries.

- The Miracles of Moringa
Among the leafy vegetables, one stands out as particularly good, the horseradish (Moringa) tree. The leaves are outstanding as a source of vitamin A, and when raw, vitamin C. They are a good source of B vitamins and among the best plant sources of minerals. The calcium content is very high for a plant. Phosphorous is low, as it should be. The content of iron is very good (it is reportedly prescribed for anemia in the Philippines ). They are an excellent source of protein and a very low source of fat and carbohydrates. Thus, the leaves are on of the best plant foods that can be found. -
Dr. Frank L. Martin, in Survival and Subsistence in the Tropics
Moringa leaves could practically wipe out malnutrition on our planet! Experts agree that the long-term solution to malnutrition is the use of foods rich in the essential nutrients often lacking in people's diets. Modern scientific research is proving that Moringa leaves are one of the richest sources of such nutrients. Even small amounts of the leaves could protect thousands of people from suffering and death.

Moringa also has a well-documented detoxifying effect. Universities around the world have studied Moringa's ability to purify water--attaching itself to harmful material and bacteria, and allowing them to be expelled as waste. The evidence points to this same process going on inside your body. The result is long-lasting energy without hyperactivity...a nerve system at rest...a blood system not under pressure...a gland and hormone system in balance.
