moringa

Introduction

In our country, around 194 million people go hungry every day. The COVID situation created this scenario more tragic. Most of the population lack feasibility and affordability for sufficient and nutritious food to maintain their health, i.e., immunity. 50% of children and women from the tribal community are anemic. The COVID-mediated unemployment created a problem of food security among the poor; it will be fulfilled by some national programs but still, the nutrient insecurity problem remains as it is. During the COVID pandemic situation, the immunity booster remains a trending topic. Most of the promoted advertisements and posts of immunity boosting during pandemics nearly all have commercial interest. So there is an urgent need to provide people and make them aware of easily available natural green nutritious supplements available in their local area. This review will take account of commonly available nutritional supplements from the “Moringa” plant along with its pharmacological components; its potential as antioxidants, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents; its mode of action; and its important commercial importance.

The food factors promoting human beings’ health are related to their nutritional values. The term nutraceutical has been very familiar among the scientific community and public for a brief period after its coining by Stephen DeFelice in 1989 for food with nutritional and pharmaceutical values. A nutraceutical is a substance that can be considered a food or part that, in addition to average dietary value, provides health benefits, including promoting health and preventing diseases like heart disease, cancer, hypertension, and diabetes.

Nutrients are the important metabolites for the growth and development of human beings obtained from food sources. Whatever food we are consuming in our routine, daily diet does not necessarily contain only the nutrients but may also contain antinutrients and toxicants. So based on these factors, we can easily categorize plants’ food sources as edible or nonedible plants. The edible plant contains more nutrients and fewer toxicants or anti-nutrients, and the nonedible plant contains more toxicants and significantly fewer nutrients. Nutrients can be classified into macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are required in very high amounts for growth and development, including proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Micronutrients are needed in less quantity, which contain vitamins and minerals.

In the nutraceutical approach, secondary plant metabolites play an important role in imparting medicinal value. Fruit, leaf, seed, etc. possess many pigments like chlorophyll, anthocyanins, and carotenoids, which are the derivatives of fats and flavonoids, whereas lycopene is derived from lycopene polyphenols. These pigments have antioxidant properties which reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer. Along with this, alkaloids, flavonoids, flavanols, phenols, polyphenols, carotenoids, anthocyanins, contents of fruits, flowers, and other plant materials also provide very high health benefits. So many botanists, pharmacists, and food industrialists have taken an interest in their role in promoting human health.

The food rich in nutrient content, as well as secondary metabolites, comes in the category of nutraceuticals. Such foods provide nutrients for the average growth and development and provide high health benefits and prevent humans from chronic diseases. Recently, Meireles et al. reported that Moringa oleifera improves the mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual levels, which altogether have a strong effect on personality development. Similarly, Moringa oleifera had antidepressive and anxiolytic effects; hence, this tree is considered an adaptogenic and antistress herb.

 

    • Moringa goes way back to ancient times and has been used in phytomedicine and ayurvedic healing for centuries. “The benefits of moringa were recognized long ago when used in Ayurveda medicine over 4,000 years ago,” says Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN, Integrative Dietitian and Founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition.
