Moringa powder all contains all nine essential amino acids; making it a complete protein. It improves mental clarity, supports the immune system, and increases energy.
Where does Sunfood Moringa Powder come from?
Organic Moringa powder is made from dried organic leaves from the Moringa oleifera tree, native to South Asia; A fast growing tree now grown throughout the tropics. It has been used as both a food source and a supplement for at least 4,000 years. Because it proliferates, Moringa can be quickly produced in impoverished areas to boost people’s nutrition levels, and its leaves can be harvested year round. These leaves are packed with vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids. Unlike many vegetative superfoods, it is high in protein – with nine times the protein of yogurt.
These precious leaves are harvested and dried out of direct sunlight so that the naturally occurring nutrients are preserved at the highest level. They are then crushed to create the soft, fluffy powder we use today. It takes about seven pounds of freshly harvested leaves to produce one pound of organic Moringa leaf powder – thank goodness these trees grow easily and quickly.
Sunfood Moringa Powder does not contain ANY additives, fillers, or preservatives. Our Moringa is low temperature processed, which preserves all of the delicate nutrients as the leaves are ground gently into a fine powder.

Moringa also supports healthy management of diabetes. A study at the University of Tokyo in 2006 found that Moringa powder lowered blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. This may be associated with its high fiber content – more in fact, than oats – without the impact grains may have on blood sugar levels.

Moringa may also help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
