Just wondered if anyone has tried either taking Moringa capsules or Moringa Tea as a way of helping with BG control and what your thoughts are.

Thanks :D

Are these what you are talking about http://www.moringacapsules.com/ ?

I don't have any experience of them but looking at what they contain, I can't see that there is any vitamins or minerals in them that have links to BG control.

From what I can see and my goggling hasn't been too extensive its main use is as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic... Some sites mention that it can help to increase circulation but I can't find anywhere that mentions a direct impact on blood glucose... i.e. increasing insulin sensitivity, etc...

Hi Pnue

There are plenty of references to how Moringa in it's various forms can help blood glucose levels. http://www.moringasource.com/moringa-and-diabetes.php

"As most diabetics are well aware, the healthiest fats usually have high percentages of oleic acid. Oleic acid is an Omega-9 fatty acid that has been noted for its ability to – among other important things – help reduce the body’s resistance to insulin and thus help regulate levels of blood sugar.
In addition to containing high levels of oleic acid, moringa oleifera leaves are full of other important nutrients that also aid in combating diabetes. If you do not know about the amazingly rich nutrient density of moringa oleifera, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that there is quite literally no plant species on earth with a more densely packed profile of nutrients. Moringa oleifera is a true superfood full of beneficial nutrients that are important to anyone who lives with diabetes."

Are you a salesperson for this product Meg2009Arm? There are lots of other supplements I would take before this one.

No I'm not a sales person, as I said I just wondered if anyone had tried it. If there are other products I'd like to know about them too. Other than Cinnamon I don't know about any other natural things that can help diabetics, I'm just trying to find out about them. Any nfo you have would be appreciated.

Thanks
