To date, there have been over 1,300 articles, studies, and reports focused on the benefits of moringa, finding that it has compounds that are extremely important in parts of the world where disease outbreak and deficiencies are common. If that’s not enough, in 2008 the National Institute of Health called moringa (moringa oleifera) the “plant of the year,” acknowledging that “perhaps like no other single species, this plant has the potential to help reverse multiple major environmental problems and provide for many unmet human needs.”
