Moringa Powder vs. Moringa Capsules: Which Should You Choose

What is Moringa?

Moringa is derived from the Moringa oleifera plant, sometimes known as “the miracle tree.” The various parts of this plant offer exceptional nutrition. Because it’s rich in antioxidants and so many essential nutrients, it’s considered a superfood. Moringa is native to parts of India, Asia, and the Philippines. It’s consumed as a tea, a powder, or in capsules. It also comes in the form of a soothing organic Moringa seed oil, helping to heal irritated nipples and various skin issues like diaper rash and cradle cap.

Besides its nutritional power, Moringa is categorized as a “galactagogue,” a substance that naturally stimulates the production of breast milk and increases its volume. As a superfood, Moringa also improves the nutritional quality of breast milk so that baby thrives. It can also help new moms who may be nutritionally depleted from the stresses of this new journey.

Moringa Powder: Benefits and Uses

Our beautiful vibrant green Moringa powder comes from the dried, ground leaves of the Moringa oleifera tree, a plant native to tropical regions including Go-Lacta’s farm in the Philippines. Moringa powder has a very high nutritional value, and is filled with essential nutrients and antioxidants; it’s classified as a “superfood.” Moringa is an anti-inflammatory and may help lower cholesterol, improve gut health, and help keep blood sugar steady.

It’s also known as a natural lactation supplement, helping to stimulate the production of breast milk in nursing mothers.

In powder form, Moringa can be easily added to things like yogurt, baked goods, smoothies, pasta sauce, and even sprinkled over salads.

Moringa Capsules: Benefits and Uses

Moringa in capsule form makes it easy and convenient to regularly enjoy the many benefits of this nutritional powerhouse. Moringa has numerous essential vitamins and minerals, is high in fiber, and is packed with antioxidants to help boost immunity.

As a “galactagogue” – a natural lactation supplement to increase milk supply – Moringa has long been used to stimulate the production of prolactin which in turn stimulates the production of breastmilk.

Moringa Powder vs. Moringa Capsules: Key Differences

So what are the differences between Moringa powder and capsules? Nutritionally, there’s little difference. Both versions feature the nutrients from Moringa leaves that have made Go-Lacta’s Moringa supplements so popular, including its ability to naturally stimulate the production of breast milk and increase its nutritional value for the baby. Our Moringa supplement comes from 100% Moringa leaves with no fillers or other ingredients.

Moringa powder comes in packets that can be mixed with water or juice, or stirred or sprinkled into other foods ranging from baked goods, sauces, and even salads. Some feel that the taste of Moringa has an earthy green taste and balances well with dark chocolate if you want it on a sweeter taste.. Or mix MOringa with lemon or ginger for the savory taste.

Moringa capsules make it more convenient to work it into your daily routine than the powder form. Each capsule contains 500 mg of pure, organic Moringa leaves, making it easy to get the perfect dosage on-the-go.

We recommend 2 capsules 3 times a day, taken at mealtimes (this totals 3 grams a day). Our Moringa powder comes in 3-gram packets that make it easy to add to sauces, smoothies, and the like. Again, spread out the recommended dosage of 3 grams a day over the course of your meals.

Which One Should You Choose?

As with taking any supplement, consistency is important to reap the benefits. This is especially important when you’re using our Moringa leaves to help naturally increase your breast milk production and volume. The Moringa form you take depends on how easy it is to be consistent in taking it. Capsules are pre-measured and easy to take on the go; for those who can’t swallow capsules, our pre-measured powder packets allow you to sprinkle into or over your daily meals. We also offer recipes that make for an easy, tasty way to consume your Moringa leaf powder!

Potential Side Effects and Considerations

Moringa is considered safe, and has been used for centuries to support breastfeeding moms.

In some cases, it may interact with some medications like blood thinners. Because it’s high in fiber, Moringa may increase the frequency of bowel movements. Take the recommended dosage and observe how it affects your system.
