  1. You can also get it fresh in the produce isle in some stores that carry ethnic products. That way you can cook with it or dehydrate it and turn it into powder or tea yourself.

  2. Peb If you have facebook. Look up "The Moringa, The Better," they are very helpful. Jeannie Cotton is so into moringa. She lives by it! That's all I think about is moringa sometimes.

  3. The information is a bit misleading (as well as how this is marketed in many products, especially MLM ones)
    The facts may be true – gram per gram. One capsule typically amounts to a gram of Moringa… When was the last time you consumed one gram of Orange? The average weight of an orange is 200 grams – So you would need to compare to 200 capsules of Moringa.

    1. I think the point is that it is denser nutrition than an orange, any way you measure it. Personally, I have never taken it to mean that one capsule has more nutrition than an entire orange. To explain that out seems to be condescending, imo. Anyone who cares to take care of their bodies can usually do simple math, but if not, it's not misleading anyone to encourage even them to take Moringa. (It's not just for smart people.)

  4. It is considered ounce for ounce, and that’s why we make that comparison on our website and literature. The same goes for ORAC values, which are calculated per 100g. Generally the highest ORAC values are for spices, but you’re not going to consume 100g of cinnamon. Moringa has an ORAC value of 62,000 up to 140,000 or 150,000 if you are using fresh samples. Without reading into it and understanding how numbers can be manipulated, it is easy to be confused by what you’re taking.
