Organic or wildcrafted moringa leaf and a vegetable cellulose capsule, no fillers, no additives, no binders, no flow agents, no rice powder making up the weight. If you prefer your greens as a blend, we also sell Plant Power, our chlorophyll supplement, but this one is moringa on its own. What moringa is Moringa oleifera is a fast growing tree from the foothills of northern India, now planted across the tropics from the Philippines to Mexico. English speakers call it the drumstick tree for its long thin seed pods. In the Philippines the leaves are called malunggay and go into everyday soups and stews. In parts of Latin America the tree is called marango. The part in these capsules is the small oval leaf, dried and milled whole. How long one tube lasts The label directs 1 to 3 capsules daily, so a tube of 90 lasts between one month and three. At 3 a day it is 30 days. At 2 a day it is 45. At 1 a day it is 90. When you compare tubes across brands, divide the capsule count by that brand's own serving size, because a count on its own tells you nothing. How it is tested Third party tested for identity, microbials and heavy metals. Heavy metal testing matters more than it sounds for a leaf crop: leaves are the part of the plant most exposed to what is in the soil and air where they grew, and testing is how you know what is in the tube. How people take it The label says one to three capsules daily. Most people take them with food and a full glass of water. Capsules also skip the grassy taste that puts some people off moringa powder in a smoothie. Also available loose The same leaf, milled into a powder in a 4 oz bag, if you would rather stir it into smoothies or cooking than swallow a capsule. Frequently asked questions How much moringa is in each capsule? 450 mg. A three capsule serving is 1,350 mg, and there are 30 servings in the tube. Is this whole leaf or an extract? Whole leaf, dried and milled. Nothing is concentrated and nothing is extracted, so what is in the capsule is the same leaf sold as a vegetable in the countries where moringa grows. Is this the same as the moringa powder you sell loose? Same plant, Moringa oleifera. The loose powder comes in a 4 oz bag for smoothies and cooking. These capsules are for people who want a measured amount without the taste. What is malunggay? Malunggay is the Filipino name for the moringa tree. Same plant, Moringa oleifera.
