Moringa & Gut Health

When we talk about wellness, gut health should be one of the first things on the list. Your gut health is the foundation of your overall wellbeing and health. Your digestive system does more than just break down food—it’s the core of your energy, mood, immune function, and overall well being. The digestive system contains an entire ecosystem of bacteria called the gut microbiome and if you’ve been looking for natural ways to support it, you might have heard about Moringa, often called the “Miracle Tree.”

But can Moringa really help support gut health? The short, but elusive answer is: it might. Research is showing promising signs that Moringa may assist with digestive function, gut microbiome balance, and even inflammation reduction. But as always, research yourself and speak to your healthcare professional if you have any worries about Moringa at all. So without further adieu,  let’s break it all down.

🌿 What is Moringa and Why Should You Care?

Moringa Oleifera is a fast-growing tree native to India, Africa, and other parts of Asia. For centuries, its leaves, seeds, pods, and roots have been used in traditional medicine. What makes Moringa special is its dense nutritional profile, which includes essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids—all things your body needs to thrive, including your digestive system. We have a great article with more information titled What is Moringa?

A 2018 review published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology outlines how antioxidant-rich plant compounds, like those found in Moringa, help regulate gut barrier function and immune response—two things that are essential for great digestive health. The article specifies how Moringa is rich in proteins that are known to have multiple physiological activities and how it could help with inflammation issues, especially in the gut.

✅ Fibre: Moringa helps maintain regular bowel movements and feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

✅ Vitamin A: Moringa may help support mucosal tissues, including the lining of your intestines.

✅ Vitamin C: It is a powerful antioxidant that may help reduce oxidative stress in the gut and support iron absorption.

✅ Magnesium: Moringa might help relax intestinal muscles and support regular bowel activity.

✅ Potassium: Studies suggest Moringa assists in proper fluid balance and gut motility.

✅ Amino acids: Moringa’s quantity of Amino Acids may be essential for building proteins that repair tissue and support gut lining integrity.

🔥 Moringa and Inflammation: Why It Matters

Ongoing inflammation in the digestive system can become a huge issue. It’s linked to conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis—all of which leave you feeling tired, bloated, and uncomfortable. Really not a great place to be in.

Moringa contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds like isothiocyanates and chlorogenic acid, which are known to support a healthy inflammatory response. A 2018 study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology highlights that antioxidant-rich plants like Moringa may play a role in supporting gut health by protecting the intestinal barrier and regulating the immune response, both of which are critical in reducing inflammation and maintaining a healthy digestive system

When inflammation is managed, the gut can absorb nutrients better, reduce discomfort, and improve energy output, and recent Moringa studies are proving to be a promising way to support this.

🦠 Moringa and Your Gut Microbiome

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria—some good, some not so good. A balanced microbiome supports digestion, mood, immunity, and even metabolism. So it is vital for your own well being that this is looked after in the best possible way it can be.

Research shows that Moringa may help regulate gut flora. A 2018 article in the Journal of Functional Foods found that Moringa leaf extract supported the growth of good bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, while limiting harmful strains.

More good bacteria = less bloating, better digestion and stronger immunity. Get on top of your inner health with the help of some Moringa Powder or Moringa Capsules. 

💥 Gut Health and Energy: The Connection

Here’s a fact that not everyone talks about—when your gut isn’t happy, your energy suffers. When digestion is sluggish or inflammation is high, your body struggles to absorb nutrients effectively. That means less fuel, more fatigue, and lower vitality. Does this feel familiar?

Because Moringa is rich in iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, it may help support energy production via better nutrient absorption. Customer reviews from Moringa Products back this up:

“I’ve been taking the capsules for a few weeks now—my bloating has gone down, my energy has improved, and I feel lighter overall.”

“I used to feel sluggish every afternoon, but since adding Moringa to my morning smoothie, I’ve noticed a real difference in energy and digestion.”

☕ How to Add Moringa to Your Diet for Digestive Support

Moringa is super versatile and can easily be part of your daily gut health routine. Here’s how:

Moringa Powder

Add it to smoothies, soups, juices, or sprinkle over salads.
Untitled_design_-_2025-03-19T155024.414.jpg

Moringa Capsules

Quick and easy for daily support—ideal for busy mornings and at night time. The powder is a much more potent way to take Moringa, but the flavour can be very full on for most people. So the capsules work well in this instance.

Moringa Tea

 A gentle way to start or end the day, helping to calm the gut. Moringa tea is mixed with green tea as well for a much nicer flavour.

Green Smoothie with Moringa

Green Smoothie with Moringa – Instagram Recipe

💡 Tip: Start Small

If you’re new to Moringa, start with a small amount (e.g. ½ tsp powder per day) and build up. Everyone’s digestive system is different, and it’s good to see how your body responds. Mix it into any smoothie you like for optimal results. I even recommend a little into your coffee in the morning as well, just make sure it is mixed in well!

🧠 Bonus Benefit: Gut Health Supports Mental Health

Around 90% of your serotonin (the feel-good hormone) is made in your gut. So, a happy gut can mean better mood, less anxiety, and more clarity. With Moringa’s support in promoting a healthy gut microbiome and reducing oxidative stress, you may also see flow-on benefits for your mental wellbeing. So not only can Moringa assist in physical health, but it can really add to your mental health as well. We also stock a product called Mind Fuel that is Moringa and Spirulina that is designed to really help assist with mental focus.

🌿 Triphala: The Perfect Partner to Moringa

Did you know there is another player in the game when it comes to Gut Health? Introducing Triphala, an amazing supplement known through the subcontinent and Asia for its amazing gut health properties. While Moringa is amazing on its own, combining it with Triphala is like giving your gut a powerful one-two punch.

Triphala is a blend of three fruits used in Ayurvedic medicine:

  • Amalaki (Indian gooseberry)
  • Bibhitaki
  • Haritaki

Triphala is known for its gentle cleansing effect and ability to support bowel regularity, reduce bloating, and nourish the gut lining.

A study in PubMed Central found that Triphala acts as a mild laxative and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and microbiome-modulating effects and noted Triphala’s potential to improve symptoms in patients with digestive discomfort and IBS​.

⚖️ Is Moringa Legal in Australia?

While Moringa is celebrated worldwide for its impressive nutritional benefits, in Australia and New Zealand it falls under a specific regulatory category. According to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), Moringa is currently classified as a "novel food", meaning it requires formal assessment and approval before it can be freely marketed as a food or food ingredient across the country.

An application—A1294—has been submitted to FSANZ to permit the use of Moringa oleifera leaf (fresh and dried), immature pods, and seed oil in food products sold in Australia and New Zealand. However, this application process is still ongoing and is not expected to be finalised until at least 2026. We are hoping by Februrary 2026, but there has been a few delays already.

While this doesn’t affect the use of Moringa in therapeutic goods or supplements, it’s important to ensure that any Moringa product you consume complies with local laws.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: Most people tolerate Moringa well, but start with a small amount. If you experience gas or bloating, reduce your dose and try again. Alternatively, increase your dosage if you are not feeling any digestive relied. There is a balance here and it can be different for each person.

A: Some people report better digestion and energy within a few days, but for others it may take a few weeks. Consistency is key and like other supplements, this may not always work for you. It is best to consult your healthcare provider if Moringa is not helping with any changes. There are always external factors at play, and no supplement on Earth is a fix all problem.

A: Yes, but it’s best to speak with your healthcare provider if you’re on medication or managing a health condition. It’s much better to be safe than sorry. Where Moringa is a natural product, it can possibly interfere with medications so make sure to consult your healthcare provider and not a stranger on the internet!

 A: Yes, when taken in recommended amounts, Moringa is considered safe for most people. It’s been used traditionally for centuries and continues to be studied in modern science. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and those on specific medications, should consult a healthcare professional first.

A: For general wellness, 4-8 capsules per day or ½ to 1 teaspoon of powder is a common starting point. You can gradually increase or decrease based on your body’s response and dietary needs. Any additional nutrients will be passed through the body much like a vegetable does.

 A: Moringa is naturally high in fibre and magnesium, both of which may assist with regular bowel movements and relieving mild constipation. However, it’s best used as part of a balanced diet. For constipation issues, we would definitely recommend trying Triphala. It is a known natural laxative when taken in a higher dose.

 A: It’s really up to your routine. Many people take Moringa in the morning for a natural energy lift, while others prefer it in the evening with a warm cup of tea to aid digestion and relaxation. Personally I take it both morning and night.

 A: Absolutely! Moringa and Triphala complement each other well—Moringa nourishes and supports nutrient absorption, while Triphala helps gently cleanse and tone the digestive system.

 A: There’s no single “best” form—it depends on your lifestyle. Powder is ideal for mixing into meals and smoothies, capsules are great for convenience, and tea is a soothing daily ritual. Each provides the same core nutrients. Click here for more information on what is the best form of Moringa to take.

 A: While Moringa has been used traditionally for all age groups, it’s always best to consult a healthcare provider before giving supplements to children, especially under the age of 12. Children can have sensitive stomachs, so it is always best to check beforehand.

✨ Final Thoughts: Nourish Your Gut Naturally

If you’re ready to support your digestive system in a gentle, plant-powered way, Moringa may be the perfect addition to your routine. Whether you prefer powder, capsules or tea, this ancient superfood offers modern benefits for energy, gut function, and overall wellness.

Pair it with Triphala for even greater support, and enjoy the flow-on benefits that come from a happy, healthy gut.
