You can take it with food or up to 1 teaspoon with water/buttermilk.”
First, Dipshiha explained how consuming powder protects and nourishes our skin. Elaborating on how it benefits skin health, she said, “Moringa powder will reduce oxidative stress. Rich in antioxidants and thus will actually give you radiant skin (sic).” She then added that it could actually reduce the chance of cancer because moringa powder has compounds that can “suppress the development of cancer cells.”
Moringa powder has properties that can protect your liver health by “stopping and breaking down the accumulation of fat in the liver.” According to Dipshikha, this prevents fatty liver in those who use the powder.
She then showed how moringa powder can really help by improving your mood thanks to its antioxidant properties, which have a positive effect on your nervous system. Finally, Deepshiha said, “Moringa leaves can actually reduce the sudden spike in insulin and thus also help reverse diabetes.”

You can drink moringa water on an empty stomach for various ailments and nutritional deficiencies in the body,” Dimple explained.
