Is It Safe?
Research shows that it's generally OK to eat the leaves or young seed pods, and leaf extracts made from powder and water may also be safe. But it can be dangerous to eat bark or pulp, especially for pregnant women. Chemicals in the bark may make the uterus contract and lead to a miscarriage.
Though you can buy it as a powder, pill, oil, or tea, supplements and powders made from moringa aren't regulated by the FDA in the same way that "conventional " food and drugs are regulated. That means there isn’t a standard dose you should take for health benefits. And companies don’t have to prove that their product is safe or that it works as advertised.
