Moringa oleifera is rich with diverse vitamins. Best of all, these nutrients are readily available for your body to use. The great majority of multivitamins available in the supermarket today are created in laboratories, where ingredients are synthesized and packed into a small pill. Unfortunately, most of these ingredients are not easily absorbed by the body because they are not sourced from whole foods. 

 

Moringa is a natural, whole-food source for vitamins, minerals, protein, antioxidants, and other important compounds that your body relies on to stay healthy. A single serving of moringa powder contains a full spectrum of vitamins.

Moringa contains high levels of the following vitamins:

​

Vitamin A (beta carotene) - is involved with immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication. Vitamin A is critical for vision as it is an essential component of a protein that absorbs light in the retinal receptors.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - helps fuel the body by converting blood sugar into energy. It keeps the mucous membranes healthy and is essential for the nervous system and cardiovascular and muscular functions.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) - is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. Like the other B vitamins, it plays a key role in energy metabolism, and for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins. 

Vitamin B3 (niacin) -  is necessary for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. It also helps the nervous system function properly. Niacin helps the body produce sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. It is effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) - required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine and for myelin formation. It is involved with more than 100 enzyme reactions and plays a role in cognitive development.

Vitamin B7 (biotin) - has vital metabolic functions. Without biotin as a co-factor, many enzymes do not work properly, and serious complications can occur, including varied diseases of the skin, intestinal tract, and nervous system. Biotin is helpful in maintaining healthy hair and nails, decreasing insulin resistance and improving glucose tolerance. It plays a role in energy metabolism, and has been used to treat alopecia, cancer, Crohn's disease, hair loss, Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathy, and vaginal candidiasis.

 

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - is one of the safest and most effective nutrients, experts say. The benefits of vitamin C include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and wrinkles.

Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is essential for promoting calcium absorption in the gut and maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bones. It is also needed for bone growth. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect the elderly from osteoporosis. Vitamin D has other roles in human health, including modulation of neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation.

Vitamin E - describes a family of eight antioxidants.  Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin which protects vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation in the body cells and prevents breakdown of body tissues. Scientists are investigating whether vitamin E might prevent or delay chronic diseases associated with free radicals.

Vitamin K - is needed for blood to properly clot, and for the liver to make blood clotting factors. Deficiency of vitamin K or disturbances of liver function (for example, severe liver failure) may lead to deficiencies of clotting factors and excess bleeding.
