Moringa: Capsules for weight loss
January 22, 2025
Can Moringa help you lose weight? This is the question to which we will try to find an answer in this article by analyzing its slimming properties and taking into account that weight loss is a process that involves various health aspects.
Moringa helps you lose weight, but is not a panacea
Getting back in shape is one of the most common goals, especially with the summer season in mind, when the thought of the upcoming bikini test prompts men and women to strive to improve their body weight.
To lose excess pounds, different methods are used: from joining the gym to increase muscle mass at the expense of fat, to switching to a low-calorie diet, to taking capsules such as those with Moringa for weight loss.
Of course, these alone are not enough: On the one hand, Moringa has cholesterol-lowering (1), diuretic, anti-diabetic and finally digestive properties (also thanks to the high fiber content). However, without adopting a healthy lifestyle, their effects may be considered useless.
There are different types of weight loss products and supplements on the market, some based on natural extracts that have proven to be very effective in achieving the goal of healthy and controlled weight loss. Let's learn more about Moringa for weight loss.
The powers of Moringa, not just for weight loss
In addition to the 'slimming power', as already highlighted, which can show its effectiveness in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise, moringa is useful for:
Maintain healthy and strong bones thanks to the phosphorus and calcium content;
Help treat some stomach problems such as constipation, gastritis and ulcerative colitis;
Inhibiting the growth of various pathogens due to its antibacterial and antibiotic properties;
Promotes digestion due to the vitamin B content;
Supporting conditions such as arthritis due to the high levels of antioxidants.

Edible in every part
Moringa oleifera consists of four main parts: bark, leaves, pods and roots.
All four can be eaten, although this food is usually presented in powder form, in capsules and not (whose similarity is due to matcha tea).
Moringa capsule for weight loss is undoubtedly one of the most common methods to achieve the goal.
Moringa, the slimming properties
As also stated by the Veronesi Foundation, based on a study published in the scientific journal Advances in Nutrition, losing weight is above all a health issue*.
Therefore, in addition to the combination with a preferably Mediterranean diet (1), losing weight should be a measure for the general well-being of the body in order to reduce risk factors such as cholesterol and diabetes.
Let's look at the considerations of Moringa's slimming properties.
A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2) examined the scientific basis of Moringa oleifera leaves as a cholesterol-lowering agent in obese patients used in Indian herbalism.
The results confirmed a reduction in serum, liver and kidney cholesterol levels, in that order
reduced by 115-103.2 mg / 100 ml (serum);
reduced by 14.35% (liver and kidneys).
The patients who were given raw Moringa Oleifera leaf extract followed a high-fat diet.
Another study to help better understand whether moringa may be useful for weight loss focused on its in vitro and ex vivo antioxidant properties as well as lipid-lowering activities (3) and showed that moringa leaf extract had similar effects such as simvastatin, which belongs to the group of statins.
Simvastatin reduces the production of bad cholesterol in the body and helps prevent cardiovascular disease (4).
Does Moringa help you lose weight?
Obtained from the seeds and leaves of a specific plant species, namely Oleifera, Moringa has many properties, some of which are beneficial for weight loss. In fact it contains:
Vitamin C in seven times the amount of oranges;
Nine essential amino acids;
Vitamin A in four times the amount of carrots;
Four times the amount of calcium compared to milk;
Forty-six different antioxidants;
An amount of iron twenty-five times greater than the amount found in spinach.
These are indeed impressive numbers that make Moringa a nutritious food for the eyes, the immune system, aging but above all for weight loss.
Digestive properties of Moringa Oleifera
It is precisely their digestive properties and their healthy effects on the body that make them increasingly popular and valued today.
Many people have tried to lose weight through drastic diets and specific methods, such as nutritional supplements based on various types of substances, both natural and non-natural, but without achieving satisfactory results.
However, it seems that moringa is ideal for those who need to lose excess kilos, also due to its ability to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
In addition to the numerous properties it contains, this plant is highly valued because it represents a completely natural food, free of substances that can harm the body
Teas for losing weight and detoxifying, moringa, ginger and lemon
Drinking herbal teas is an excellent habit, especially for those who want to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet.
Many types of herbal teas actually have excellent fat burning properties, are rich in valuable minerals, vitamins and polyphenols and help combat water retention due to their liquid nature.
For example, Moringa tea with lemon and ginger combines the digestive properties of Moringa (vitamin B, lipid-lowering and antioxidant properties, the ability to improve postprandial blood sugar) with the slimming properties of ginger.
Various studies on ginger show its usefulness in burning fat, reducing nausea, dissolving and expelling intestinal gas, and improving food intolerances.
By acting on the enzymes trypsin and pancreatic lipase, ginger could improve constipation and promote intestinal motility.
In addition, it contributes to appetite control by inhibiting the absorption of intestinal fats.

Moringa: supporting studies
According to a study conducted in 2014 on obese rat samples, it was shown that after forty-nine days of treatment with Moringa leaves, significant changes occurred in the body weight of the subjects, followed by a reduction in cholesterol levels.
A study on human stem cells showed interesting potential in remodeling white adipose tissue, leading to induction of thermogenesis and improvement of metabolic homeostasis.
In short, an increase in body temperature has been shown due to the thermogenic effect of moringa leaf extracts, which is extremely useful as it accelerates metabolism and therefore facilitates fat burning in the body.

Lowering cholesterol levels is undoubtedly an element that should not be underestimated, since people with high cholesterol levels are usually also overweight, which then turns into obesity.
Blood sugar control
Moringa can control blood sugar levels.
Thanks to a substance contained in this food, this plant is able to control these values and keep blood sugar levels stable, preventing diabetes and other related diseases.
This conclusion was reached after a study of diabetics and non-diabetics. Both groups were given a small amount of Moringa and their blood sugar samples were analyzed shortly afterwards.
A slight improvement was noted in the non-diabetics, while a significant decrease in blood sugar levels was observed in the diabetics.
How to take Moringa Oleifera for weight loss
One of the main benefits of Moringa is that it is rich in important and necessary properties that should never be missing in a healthy and balanced diet.
According to a study of a group of Mexican children, it was found that many of them had deficiencies in essential micronutrients such as vitamins A and C, and that such deficiencies could lead to obesity.
These elements can instead be provided by moringa, which can be taken in the form of tea, powder or leaves.
In addition to the capsules already mentioned, which are convenient to take because they are already portioned in the recommended daily amount (three capsules daily before main meals), Moringa can be taken in the following forms:
Organic powder that can be added to recipes and fruit and vegetable smoothies (one level teaspoon per day);
Ginger-lemon tea, great for supporting digestion (preferably after meals and before bed).
Moringa and chlorogenic acid
Another important property that Moringa has and should not be forgotten is the presence of chlorogenic acid, which reduces body weight and body fat percentage.
This element also regulates metabolism and speeds it up, making it easier to quickly burn the fats consumed.
The Moringa capsules for weight loss are not only useful for losing those unwanted extra pounds, but they also contribute significantly to reducing waist circumference.
By taking these slimming capsules, the stomach and chest benefit, and the waist becomes slimmer and more supple.
Consumption of organic moringa
However, for moringa to provide actual benefits, one must learn to consume it properly.
First of all, you should make sure that the leaves are pure and ORGANIC and that the product has not been overly processed. Often, some brands tend to over-process moringa, which can cause it to lose its nutrient-dense properties if overexposed to the sun.
Learn how to tell the quality of Moringa Oleifera
Plants that are overly powdered can also lose their essential properties that moringa should possess.
It is therefore important to obtain detailed information before purchasing a product in order to quickly achieve satisfactory results. Find out how we grow our ORGANIC Moringa in Spain.
