Oakland, CA. - A recent study by scientists at Rutgers University shows that compounds in moringa may contain more potent anti-inflammatory properties than curcumin, the active anti-inflammatory ingredient in turmeric. The Rutgers study is supported by further research showing that turmeric’s properties are not readily absorbed.
Kuli Kuli, America’s leading moringa company, partnered with researchers at UC Davis to review the existing literature on moringa and turmeric. Recent research has questioned the effectiveness of curcumin, the anti-inflammatory agent found in turmeric, and have shown promising results that moringa could be much more effective. Many of the polyphenols and related isothiocyanates in moringa (particularly sulforaphane from broccoli) have been well studied and shown to have promising anti-inflammatory activity. While more research remains to be done, emerging research on moringa suggests its bioactives possess greater anti-inflammatory activity than those found in turmeric. This is not just due to the potency of moringa’s isothiocyanates, but due to the importance of greater stability and bioavailability.
Known in ancient cultures as the “tree of life,” moringa is extremely nutrient-dense and contains promising medicinal benefits. Moringa’s leaves are naturally rich in protein, iron, calcium, vitamins, and antioxidants, and provides a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. Kuli Kuli sources the highest-quality, organic, sustainably-grown moringa leaves from their network of family farmers and women-led cooperatives across the globe.
