[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2038478, member: 372717"] [URL]https://examine.com/supplements/moringa-oleifera/[/URL] [I]While both the antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties are somewhat interesting, until the exact mechanisms and relative potency to some other antioxidants or antiinflammatories are tested it is hard to recommend this supplement over other options. It is important to note that although the plant is generally considered to be 'nontoxic', this does not appear to be the case at all times. While supplemental dosages listed below appear to be safe from all tested toxicity a, relatively small increase (3-4 times the recommended does) is known to cause genotoxic damage and may promote cancer formation whereas higher doses cause overt organ damage (mostly liver and kidneys). This effect is seen with the seeds while toxicity of the leaves seems to be a lesser concern. Beyond that, reasonable supplemental dosages appear to be able to induce abortions in pregnant rats and thus supplementation is contraindicated (not advised) in pregnant women.[/I] So, I guess it's up to you whether you 1) trust the guide to have given you the "real thing" and not some random powder 2) want to trust the dosage recommended by the guide or make up your own 3) want to experiment with your own body when there aren't any clinical trials out there to say if it's safe or not. Maybe it works??? I don't know, but please be aware of the potential risks. [/QUOTE]
