Organic Veda Moringa Powder - Premium Harvest Real Green Native Moringa Oleifera, Vitamins & Antioxidant Rich Leaves - USDA Organic, Gentle Dried Drumstick Leaf Powder (16 oz (Pack of 1))

Fresh quality and taste...good value and smooth texture

Before taking moringa, for years I took the usual multi-vitamin like many other men. Over time, I tried various ones, Mens One a day, Centrum, or generic store brands, depending on availability or my finances, so basically I had no preference, I would take one a day until the bottle was gone, then get another one. I would say that I was in OK health, but by no means a health nut. Several times a week ate junk food and visited fast food places, along with not much excercise. I did however try to make healtheir food choices in everyday life, limiting fried food, try to not eating late, juice/water not soda, limit sweets, etc. Generally I would not get sick very often, and there have been times when during the entire year, I would not get sick once, no cold or flu, etc. I am not sure how big of a role did multi-vitamins play, along with the other health decisions I made to my overall health. But this I AM SURE of, within just a week of taking moringa, I noticed several improvements. After doing a bit of research into multi-vitamins pills and vitamins in general, I learned there is a big difference between the vitamins/nutrients that are absorbed into your body from actual consumed food, and the vitamins/nutrients from synthetic pills. If you go down to the molecular level, both natural Vitamin C from an orange and Vitamin C synthetically made in a lab are the same. The issue is however, the way our body responds to it. The natural vitamins are absorbed into the body much easier and are more beneficial. So even though you may take large dose of synthetic Vitamin C in a pill form, you would benefit much more if you ate some bell peppers or drank a glass of orange juice. So therein lies the rub with multi-vitamin pills, even though each pill may contain a large quantity of vitamins, most all of them are derived synthetically and therefore once eaten a big percentage is never absorbed into the body. On the other hand, the moringa tree is is a natural, whole-food source chock full of natural vitamins, nutrients, minerals, anti-oxidants, amino acids and protein. And because the moringa tree is hand harvested from certified organic fields and then naturally cool dried, in order to retain all the amazing nutritional potency, virtually all of that naturally produced goodness remains inside the powder. Having 90+ nutrients, 18 amino acids, 47 active antioxidants, 36 anti-inflammatories and other hundreds of various health benefits. Moringa Oleifera is nature’s whole-food complex, whichmakes it easy for your body to recognize, absorb and assimilate. It is THE most nutrient packed plant ever discovered.The leaves of Moringa have no parallel in the plant kingdom. A dosage of just two or three spoonfuls a day of Moringa leaves powder provides a substantial amount of most people's iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Especially important – a dosage of Moringa leaves powder delivers food-based nutrients which are proven to have far higher levels of resorption by the body than traditional multi-vitamin pills. This means a moderate daily dose of Moringa leaves powder provides you with a healthy amount of daily nutrients that your body can use with maximum efficiency. Moringa leaves powder can be added to any food or beverage and it will increase the vitamin, mineral and protein content. For healthy individuals, a few spoonfuls of Moringa leaves powder can be added to any meal to make it more nutritious. Since the nutrient content of Moringa leaf powder decreases if exposed to heat, add the powder after the food or drink has been prepared, just before serving. Moringa leaf powder has the greatest impact on those who are morevulnerable: malnourished children, pregnant or lactating women, children at weaning age and the elderly. Malnourishedchildren ages 1-3 years should consume three rounded tablespoons of Moringa leaf powder each day. Pregnant or lactating women should consume six rounded tablespoons of Moringa leaves powder each day. Although it may help to "build up" to those higher amounts. I personally try to take 1Tbsp, 2x a day, and have been doing so, going on 5 weeks +. Healthwise the results have been great, I just feel better all around. I used to get sniffles on certain days, or feeling a bit run down other days, but now I have more energy and motivation to get things done. This is how I usually take the moringa, an empty glass with spoon and 1Tbsp of powder sitting right next to my bed on the dresser. Once I wake up, its right there in front of me so I dont forget. Then on the way to the bathroom I fill up the glass with cool water at the water cooler in the kitchen, or you can just fill it up in the bathroom and drink there. I really like the water I have in the kitchen because the water there is filtered and I then add "Liqumins ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops, Low Sodium, 8-Ounce Bottle" to the water for the right amount of minerals. I buy it right here on Amazon, it makes the water taste great and also gives my body a nice dose of minerals. I also love the fact that the energy is not like the "in your face" kind you would find in a can (or two) of an energy drink. Where the energy will kick in fast and sudden, often accompanied with uncomfortable jitters or anxiety, and worst of all, after the energy comes the inevitable crash, which always makes you feel much worse than your reason for wanting an energy drink in the first place. The natural energy from moringa will give you that extra boost to help you finish what needs to be done. The way that I see it, not every person has the time/money to go to the gym or workout the recommended 3x a week. And most people cannot afford to move on over to a "healthy organic diet", eating food from stores like Whole Foods, where the vast majority of the products are healthier, more nutritious and simply better for you. Even on the tighest budget, every person has to do SOMETHING to try and get healthier and stay healthy. You cannot afford not too. If you get sick, you stay home from work, lose $60-$100/day in pay (we're talking about low income people here). And what if its something more critical, you would need to see Dr.($$), get prescription($), maybe need surgery($$$), maybe lose job because of illness($$$$). The more healthy a person is the less likely the chance of ANY illness. For just $21 you get a pound of certified 100% organic powder, to help your body get and stay healthy. It is a good starting point for a better healthier lifestyle. Its fast and easy to use. So if you followed the recommended daily amount of 1tsp, 2x a day, this package would last you 56 days, about 2 months. However, I do think that most people who consume moringa would agree, if you take more, your health benefits would only improve.

Whenever I try a new product, be it a supplement or beauty product, I like to give it a 6 week trial to be fair. That being said, I can only give it 4 stars because I haven't been taking it very long. However, so far so good. Since I know my body better than anyone I started at 1/2 dosage for a few days before taking the recommended dose of 2 teaspoons. Using a shaker bottle, I put it in juice, shaking often. It doesn't suspend well in thinner liquids like it does in a smoothie. It has a pleasant grassy flavor. I've also sprinkled it on veggies which is okay, but never again at dinner. I didn't sleep at all well that evening. It gives me a great all-day energy. At the end of my day I sleep really good. I haven't slept well in years. So for myself this is a little miracle. I'm also experiencing a gentle detox. I'm glad I began at 1/2 dosage. The Moringa powder seems to have curbed my sugar cravings as well. I just don't want it as often now and when I do eat sugar I don't want as much as before. It also curbs my appetite. Sometimes I forget to eat because I'm simply not hungry. I drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I'm feeling pretty good. Give it a chance and remember to ease into it. I don't have any negatives to say about Organic Veda Moringa Powder.

I've learned my lesson. I ordered this powder last year and then when I ran out, another product was on sale and at the time I thought how much variance could there be...well, quite a bit. The other product was very dark green appeared to be made very old leaves. I will not be straying again. This product is so fresh, I can't wait to see if I feel better taking this vs the other brand. I love the new container, it is so much better than the bags. They were always so difficult to deal with loosing puffs of powder each time you use them if you don't take extra care closing. If you are curious about Moringa itself, I began taking over a year ago. I have fybromyagia and several other chronic health issues. I am down in bed 75 - 90% of the time, what I did notice after I started taking moringa was that I didn't feel quite as bad even on the times when I'm completely down,the length of my recovery time from activity is greatly shortened and my body recovery from activity is easier (not as much pain or stiffness after activity) or after sitting or laying too long. At first I took mine 1 teaspoon with warm water and stevia after breakfast and dinner not too hot as to remove any nutrients but now I just put in about 4-6 oz of filtered water from frig and mix with my orange flavored vitamin supplement and mix with a portable battery operate red hand held blender my son got me for Christmas from Amazon. It is so much easier to drink after using the blender completely mixed and no waste. I have seen were people with Parkinson's and MS take a lot more than 2 teaspoons a day, I will be doing more research to see if larger dose would help me with more issues. Moringa will remain a staple for easing my symptoms and pain and Organic Veda Moringa will remain my brand. Awesome quality product. Hope this helps your decision to try Moringa. The Powder in the picture is actually even brighter green than the picture picked up.
