What Moringa Leaf Is
Moringa oleifera is the drumstick tree, a fast-growing species whose leaves and young pods are eaten as vegetables. Remedy's Moringa Leaf holds 1000 mg of dried, powdered leaf per vegan capsule, with 60 capsules per bottle. It contains 1 part of the tree only: no seed, no root and no bark.
That distinction matters more than most moringa pages admit, because the parts of this tree have very different safety records.
-
1000 mg per capsule: 1 g of dried leaf.
-
60 capsules: 2 months at 1 capsule a day.
-
Part used: Leaf only.
-
Single ingredient: Moringa leaf, with 0 other actives.

What 1 Capsule Actually Contains
Moringa is often sold on multipliers such as 7 times the vitamin C of oranges and 17 times the calcium of milk. Those figures describe 100 g of powder. Here is the arithmetic at the amount a capsule holds, using one review's own per-100-g figures.[1]Moringa oleifera is a Prominent Source of Nutrients with Potential Health Benefits — International Journal of Food Science (2021) View source

Riboflavin is the one nutrient where 2 g reaches a meaningful share, about a third of the Daily Value. The review's table also lists powder vitamin C at 17.3 mg per 100 g, against 220 mg in fresh leaves. The full breakdown is in moringa nutrition facts at capsule size.
What the Evidence Actually Shows
Rather than print a benefits list, we would rather print the shape of the literature. These counts came off PubMed on 2026-09-18 and anyone can rerun them.

Moringa is heavily studied and lightly trialled. Twelve of the 40 records tagged as trials are, by their own titles, studies in livestock or rats, so the human base under any claim is small.
Blood Sugar and Cholesterol
This is the claim with the most research behind it, and the clearest gap between animals and people.
-
Rodents: 44 studies pooled a large drop in blood glucose.[2]Moringa oleifera Lam. in Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis — Molecules (2021) View source
-
People: A 2025 meta-analysis of 9 randomized trials rated every outcome very low certainty.[3]Effects of Moringa oleifera Supplementation on Cardiometabolic Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials with GRADE Assessment — Nutrients (2025) View source
-
Best capsule trial: 2.4 g a day for 12 weeks, favourable for fasting glucose and HbA1c in prediabetes.[4]Moringa oleifera Leaf Supplementation as a Glycemic Control Strategy in Subjects with Prediabetes — Nutrients (2021) View source
-
Cholesterol: No lipid difference in that same trial.
We make no glucose or cholesterol claim for this product, because the human evidence does not support one. Every trial, sorted by dose, is in moringa for blood sugar and cholesterol.
Which Part Is in the Bottle
Leaf, seed, root and bark are different materials, and only the leaf is in this capsule.
| Part |
What it is |
In this capsule |
| Leaf |
Eaten as a vegetable; used in most human trials |
Yes, 1000 mg |
| Seed |
About 19% protein and 31% fat |
No |
| Root |
Estrogenic and antifertility effects in rats |
No |
| Bark |
Recorded use as an abortifacient |
No |
Powdered bark has a recorded use as an abortifacient, and root extract showed antifertility effects in rats.[5]Antifertility profile of the aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera roots — Journal of Ethnopharmacology (1988) View source That is why the part is stated on the label. The comparison is in moringa leaf vs seed vs root.
Contamination and Testing
Since 2025, CDC has investigated 4 Salmonella outbreaks linked to moringa products from other brands.[6]Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Moringa Leaf Powder — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention View source This product was not among those named.
-
People ill: 186 across the 4 investigations.
-
Hospitalised: 53, with 0 deaths.
-
Format: 3 of the 4 involved capsules, not only powders.
-
Your check: Match lot numbers against FDA and CDC recall notices.
Capsules are not protection on their own, because a capsule holds the same powder. We publish no lot testing claim on this page. The full record is in moringa recalls and Salmonella contamination.
Safety and Who Should Be Careful
At leaf amounts the safety record in studies so far is good, and a 2015 review found no adverse effects reported in human studies.[7]Review of the Safety and Efficacy of Moringa oleifera — Phytotherapy Research (2015) View source The cautions are about interactions and the plant part.
| Situation |
Position |
| Pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding |
Ask your clinician first |
| Taking metformin, insulin or other glucose-lowering medicine |
Discuss before starting |
| Taking blood pressure medicine |
Discuss before starting |
| Taking levothyroxine |
Separate the times and tell your prescriber |
| Past rash, swelling or wheeze after moringa |
Do not take it |
In lab tests moringa induced 2 enzymes that clear many drugs, so bring it up with whoever prescribes your medicines.[8]Herb-Drug Interaction Potential of Commonly Used Botanicals on the US Market via CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 — Journal of Dietary Supplements (2023) View source The full list is in moringa side effects and drug interactions.
How to Take It
There is no established dose for moringa. Trials used capsule amounts of 1 to 4 g, or food amounts of 20 g and more.
-
Amount: 1 capsule daily, which is 1 g of leaf.
-
Timing: 0 trials compared morning with evening, so take it with food at a time you will remember.
-
Thyroid medicine: Take moringa at a different time of day.
-
Review: After 3 months, the length of the longest capsule trial.
More on amounts, forms and duration is in how much moringa per day.
Why Choose Remedy's Moringa Leaf
No trial makes one moringa capsule better than another, so the honest differentiators are what is in the bottle and what the page is willing to say.
-
Leaf only: No seed, root or bark.
-
1000 mg: A fixed, countable amount per capsule.
-
No superfood multipliers: The per-capsule arithmetic is printed instead.
-
No glucose claim: Because 9 pooled human trials rated certainty very low.
What we will not say matters as much as what we will, and on this page that means no disease claim of any kind.

Is moringa safe in pregnancy? +
Root and bark are the hazards, and a 1978 report records bark used as an abortifacient. Ask your clinician before using any moringa in pregnancy.
