Moringa oleifera is a nutritious, health-boosting "superfood" that every person could benefit from. It has various industrial, home, and personal care uses and remains one of the most versatile plants known to man.
Searching moringa is likely going to bring up personal care products, which is predominately what most people use moringa for. However, given the number of products and various forms moringa can come in, things can get very confusing.
We're here to clear things up for you today by sharing with you the basic details about the [3] main forms moringa is likely going to come in if you're purchasing a product.
Moringa powder is arguably the most popular form of moringa and it typically used in green drink smoothies. You can search for various moringa oleifera smoothies online (we'll have more recipes soon when we are able to stock moringa powder).
The main advantage to moringa powder is that you can buy moringa powder in bulk. It's typically a little cheaper than capsules or oil, but it is not necessarily as concentrated. However, it is far more versatile and you can get creative with your recipes if you want to have some fun.
If smoothies aren't your thing, you can also add powder to tea and create a delicious moringa tea. Some people like to add moringa to regular green tea, but you'll want to be careful given the two very different tastes of green tea and moringa.
Moringa oil is not typically consumed by humans. Instead, it's mainly used for haircare and skincare products. Moringa has various healing properties so it is only logical that its' highly concentrated oil can be used for these purposes.
In addition, many of your cosmetic products may contain moringa oil. A whole new market of makeup, skincare, and haircare products (like shampoos and conditioners) use moringa in their formulation thanks to its' moisturizing and healing properties.
Moringa capsules are the third and final option that you probably will take moringa. Capsules are easy to use since you can just swallow capsules with a glass of water at your disposable. They're highly convenient and our personal favorite way to take moringa.
Another major advantage is that moringa capsules tend to be much more highly concentrated than moringa powder. Your serving size is much smaller (as little as 800mg per capsule) than powder due to its' size. The downside however is that capsules tend to be a little more expensive. However, the value is there, especially if you find a high quality product like the capsules sold here at Simple Life Nutrition.
