auroraWhen 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.
Aduna Moringa Powder is made from naturally-dried moringa leaves. It has a delicious spinachy green flavour, perfect for boosting curries, stews, casseroles, soups, salads, green smoothies and more.
Moringa is:
◆ 25 percent plant protein including all 9 essential amino acids
◆ 24 percent fibre
◆ A rich source of iron, vitamin K & E
◆ A source of vitamin A & calcium
◆ High in antioxidants
Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
At any given time, one in five people feel unusually tired, and one in 10 have prolonged fatigue, according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the UK.
A single serving of Aduna Moringa Powder (10g or 2-3 teaspoons) provides:
◆ Iron: 32,2 percent of your daily requirement (NRV)
◆ Vitamin A: 18,9 percent of NRV
Iron is essential for the reduction of tiredness and fatigue in the body, and vitamin A supports the metabolism of iron ensuring a greater uptake. Adding moringa to your daily routine is an effective, natural way to prevent tiredness and fatigue.
The rich iron content of moringa powder also makes it ideal for vegan, vegetarians and those suffering from anaemia.
Skin
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 percent of NRV
◆ Vitamin E: 16,9 percent of NRV
Vitamin A is essential for healthy, radiant skin and vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress helping fight the signs of ageing.
Immunity
One of the best moringa benefits is its super immune-boosting powers. Maintaining a healthy immune system is essential for helping our bodies stave off infections and illnesses. Moringa Oleifera leaves are an extremely rich source of:
◆ Iron: 32,2 percent of NRV
◆ Vitamin A: 18,9 percent of NRV
Both of which are essential for the normal function of the immune system.
Muscle growth
Moringa oleifera leaves are almost 25 percent protein, which is unusually high for a plant. Aduna Moringa Powder contains nime essential amino acids making it a complete source of protein, supporting the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
Anti-stress
Digestion
Moringa powder is a rich source of calcium (24,7 percent NRV) which contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.
It also contains 24 percent fibre, which can help support a healthy digestive system and bowel regularity.
Energy release
Moringa is a rich source of iron (32,2 percent NRV) and calcium (24,7 percent NRV), both of which support energy-yielding metabolism. A green smoothie with moringa in the morning will keep you feeling nice and energised all day!
Vision
Having healthy eyes and normal vision is something that can often be taken for granted but requires the right nutrition in order to maintain normal function.
Anti-diabetic
Additionally, further research has shown that those eating a diet rich in plant proteins can reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
A 19-year study by the University of Eastern Finland has found that replacing just 5 grammes of meat-based protein consumption a day with a plant-based source, could reduce risk of T2D onset by as much as 18 percent — moringa contains 25 percent plant protein.
Bones
Maintaining strong and healthy bones is an important component of overall health. Moringa oleifera leaves are a rich source of vitamin K (158,7 percent NRV), protein (25 percent) and calcium (24,7 percent NRV) all of which support normal bones. — aduna.com
