🌿 Is Too Much Moringa a Bad Thing? 🤔
Moringa oleifera is praised around the world as a “miracle tree” for its many health benefits — from lowering blood sugar to fighting inflammation. But can you have too much of a good thing?
👨🔬 Researchers in Ghana set out to test what happens when Moringa is taken in very high doses — way above what you’d normally use as a supplement.
Here’s what they did:
- 🧪 Gave very high doses of Moringa leaf extract to rats.
- 🧬 Checked for toxicity, organ damage, and DNA effects.
- 💉 Monitored blood, organs, and overall health over two weeks.
What they found:
⚖️ Blood chemistry was mostly normal, but albumin and urea levels dropped, and electrolyte changes were seen — a sign the body was responding to stress.
✅ No major organ damage was seen — liver and kidney function looked fine at first.
🧬 High doses (3000 mg/kg) caused changes in the rats’ DNA — suggesting genotoxicity (potential DNA damage).
⚠️ Levels above 1000 mg/kg might not be safe long-term.
🔍 Takeaway:
Moringa is powerful — but more isn’t always better. While small doses may help with nutrition and wellness, taking too much can harm your DNA and disrupt your body’s balance.
Always use natural remedies wisely, and consult a professional before going overboard. 🌱💊
