- Supplemental Forms
You can buy moringa in several forms, including powder, capsules, energy bars, tablets and tea.
1. Powder
Due to its versatility, moringa leaf powder is a popular option. It’s said to have a bitter and slightly sweet taste. You can easily add the powder to shakes, smoothies, and yogurt to boost your nutritional intake. Recommended serving sizes of moringa powder range from 2–6 grams.
2. Capsules & Tablets
The capsule form of moringa leaves contains the crushed leaf powder or its extract.It’s best to choose supplements that contain the extract of the leaf because the extraction process improves the bioavailability or absorption of the leaf’s beneficial components. You can differentiate between the two by reading the supplement facts label, which will state whether the product contains the powdered leaf or extract form.
3. Tea
Moringa can also be consumed as a tea. If desired, spices and herbs — such as cinnamon and lemon basil — can help offset the slightly earthy taste of pure moringa leaf tea. It’s naturally caffeine-free, so you can consume it as a relaxing beverage before bed. It’s also a good option if you’re sensitive to the effects of caffeine.
