Packed with antioxidants, protein, and minerals, moringa powder is a powerhouse herbal supplement. Many people use moringa powder as a nutritional supplement, and believe it has a wide range of health benefits, like increasing breast milk production.[1] To get the most out of moringa powder, swallow the powder directly or mix it into your favorite foods or drinks. Just make sure that you don't cook it, as heat can reduce many of its nutrients.

Steps

Method 1 Method 1 of 3:

Swallowing Dry Powder

  1. Step 1 Ask your doctor if it is safe to take moringa powder. 1 Ask your doctor if it is safe to take moringa powder. Always talk to your doctor before starting a new herbal supplement. It is not currently known if moringa powder interacts negatively with medications. Your doctor can determine if moringa powder is safe for you.[2]
    • Side effects of moringa powder include an upset stomach or diarrhea.
    • Pregnant women should not take moringa powder, as there isn’t enough research on it yet.[3]
    • Never consume any of the plant’s oil. While it can be applied to the skin, the oil can be toxic if you eat it.[4]
  2. Step 2 Measure... 2 Measure 6-10 grams of moringa powder. Too much moringa powder isn’t a great idea, since there’s still limited research on this supplement. A single teaspoon is enough to get the benefits.[5]
    • Although some people can take up to a tablespoon (18 g) of moringa powder a day, it is generally recommended that you start with no more than 1-2 teaspoons (6-12 g) a day.

  3. Step 3 Place the powder under your tongue. 3 Place the powder under your tongue. This will help it absorb more quickly into your body. Try to avoid breathing in the powder as you do so. Be prepared for a sharp earthy or radish-like taste.
  4. Step 4 Wash the powder down with water. 4 Wash the powder down with water. Take a gulp of water and swallow the powder down with it. Take another sip of water to wash out the last bits of moringa powder in your mouth.

Method 2 Method 2 of 3:

Consuming Moringa Powder in Food and Drinks

  1. Step 1 Stir a teaspoon... 1 Stir a teaspoon (6 g) of powder into water to make tea. Measure a cup (235 ml) of cold or lukewarm water. Stir the powder into the mug until it mostly dissolves. If you’re using moringa leaves, steep the leaves in hot water first. Then, put a strainer or cheesecloth over a mug and pour the tea into the cloth or strainer to strain the liquid into the cup. Discard any material left in the strainer.[6]
    • If you don't like the taste of moringa powder, add honey and lemon to the tea.
    • While you can make hot tea with moringa powder, the heat will break down many of the antioxidants in it.
  2. Step 2 Blend ½ tbsp (9 g) of powder into your favorite smoothie. 2 Blend ½ tbsp (9 g) of powder into your favorite smoothie. A smoothie can help weaken the sharp radish-like taste of moringa powder. Add moringa powder to any smoothie. Spinach smoothies work especially well with moringa powder's earthy taste.[7]
    • Sprinkle the powder over the ingredients before blending them together. You can also stir it into a prepared or premade smoothie.
  3. Step 3 Sprinkle moringa powder over salad and other raw foods. 3 Sprinkle moringa powder over salad and other raw foods. You can add moringa powder to food, but avoid cooking it. Heat can destroy many of its beneficial nutrients. Add it to raw foods, like salad, hummus, peanut butter, and yogurt.
    • You can also stir it into foods that have already been cooked and cooled, such as oatmeal.
  4. Step 4 Take a capsule containing moringa powder. 4 Take a capsule containing moringa powder. A less messy option is to get moringa powder in the form of a capsule or pill. Buy these at any health food or supplement store. Take the capsules according to the instructions on the side of the bottle.

Finding Uses for Moringa Powder

  2. Step 2 Use moringa powder... 2 Use moringa powder to help manage symptoms of diabetes. While it is still being studied, moringa powder may be able to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels in your body. Daily use of moringa powder might also reduce your chances of developing side effects like heart disease.[9]

Moringa powder may have anti-inflammatory properties. These properties may provide slight relief to conditions like asthma and arthritis. Use moringa powder in combination with other forms of conventional medicine for the most benefits.[10]
    • Keep in mind that the effects of moringa powder on inflammation are still being studied. It is unknown how effective it is as a treatment option.
  4. Step 4 Talk to your doctor before using moringa powder for breastfeeding. 4 Talk to your doctor before using moringa powder for breastfeeding. Moringa powder is often used to increase lactation during breastfeeding.[11] Before you try this, however, talk to your doctor to make sure that moringa powder is safe for you and your baby.
    • Your doctor may advise you to wait 1-2 weeks after delivery before taking moringa powder.
    • It is still uncertain whether moringa powder can increase lactation or not.
