The Origins of Moringa: From India to Spain
Moringa is a plant native to the sub-Himalayan regions of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan and has long been cultivated in Africa and the tropics. It can reach a height of 10-12 meters and its trunk can be 45 centimeters in diameter.
Everything about this plant, from the leaves to the bark, can be used to make medicines and nutritional supplements.
The shrub belongs to the Moringaceae family, of which a total of 13 species are known.
Moringa oleifera is the most commonly cultivated species especially for its amazing health benefits.
Remember that the Moringa oleifera is still recognized in the Nile Valley as "the tree that purifies."
It is said that Moringa...
The FAO describes moringa as a plant with antibiotic, anti-trypanosome, antihypertensive, antispasmodic, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering and blood sugar-lowering properties.
It is a plant, every part of which is edible; For example, leaf extracts are used to treat malnutrition. It is also used as a potential antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antimicrobial agent.
The seed of Moringa oleifera, a natural coagulant, is widely used for water treatment.
Nowadays, Moringa is also cultivated in the West, especially in Spain, in the Canary Islands, where exemplary organic plantations of this plant, described as "magical", have found optimal conditions both in the soil and in the climate.

Where can you buy Moringa?
As mentioned in the previous section, the distribution of this "miracle plant" has also spread to the West in recent years, which makes it even more important to know the origin of the Moringa to buy.
First of all, moringa can be purchased at most health food and natural product stores.
However, in Italy their distribution is still considered a "niche market" and it can be difficult to find them. It is almost impossible to find them in most pharmacies.
Fortunately, thanks to online sales, it is possible to find dealers and companies that have all the certifications required by law.
How to choose Moringa: capsules, powder, tea or cream?
To answer this question, it is important to consider how you plan to use moringa. At RedMoringa Moringa is sold in the following forms:

Why you should be careful when buying Moringa
As with all well-known natural dietary supplements, special caution is required when purchasing Moringa. Because Moringa is a plant that has been known for thousands of years but only recently arrived in the West, it is vulnerable to any kind of exploitation.
It is very easy to find products on the market with uncertified and not 100% natural Moringa species. Due to its great success in recent years, the demand for moringa in Europe has increased enormously, which has required traders to import it from source countries such as India and Bangladesh.
However, these manufacturers are usually not subject to the strict quality controls required in Europe and it is impossible to verify which substances are used in the fields.
Given the amazing properties of Moringa, it is important that the product is 100% natural and ideally of organic origin.
The risk is investing your money in inferior solutions that have little to do with health.
Why buy Moringa Oleifera from RedMoringa
Our Moringa, directly from India in the form of the best seeds, as already mentioned, is grown in the Canary Islands and on an estate above Malaga.
We came to these areas after months of study and analysis, which showed us that these two European regions have the best climatic conditions for growing the plant.
In particular, the subtropical climate on the island of Tenerife allows for lush growth of Moringa trees, which have red leaves due to the volcanic soil, which is why our brand name is "RedMoringa".
It took about two years for the selected seeds to grow into strong and lush Moringa Oleifera plants, growing up to 7 meters tall.
So why buy European Moringa
The climatic conditions in the Canary Islands remain perfect all year round, especially from April to November. The volcanic soil of the archipelago promotes the richness of the active ingredients, and the final product is of higher quality compared to that grown on the mainland.
However, the big advantage of our Moringa is its naturalness and its certifications.
In accordance with the European Union regulations in the field of organic farming, we have awarded our product the "EU Organic Agriculture" label, which is valid throughout the EU market and certifies the origin and organic and organic farming methods.
The use of pesticides and environmentally harmful chemicals is therefore absolutely prohibited in our cultivation areas.
In addition to European controls and certifications, our red moringa is subject to the tests of the Canary Islands Institute of Agricultural and Food Quality (ICCA), a European authority that certifies its origin and production.
The Moringa grown in the Canary Islands is then transported to Italy and processed in a facility authorized by the Ministry of Health.
Why buy Moringa and take it daily
As mentioned previously, Moringa oleifera is known for its beneficial and healing properties.
In particular, this plant is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and rich in minerals such as calcium and potassium. The leaves contain a variety of B vitamins (such as thiamine, niacin, pantothenic acid, folates, riboflavin and pyridoxine), vitamin C, vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin K, manganese and proteins.

Moringa Oleifera capsules are the easiest way to consume them and are recommended for maximum effectiveness.
They are usually sold in convenient and practical blister packs that can also be taken with you when traveling or working during the day. It is recommended to follow the instructions for taking Moringa.
On the other hand, one teaspoon per day is sufficient for the powder and oil, which can be used in the kitchen to prepare delicious dishes.
