The liver is easily damaged by oxidative stress, when free radicals exceed their endogenous antioxidant capacity.
Moringa extract contains polyphenols such as quercetin and kaempferol, which have been shown to activate intracellular antioxidant mechanisms, reduce the production of free radicals and lipid peroxidation - factors that harm liver cells.
A study shows that moringa leaves extract can increase the activity of important antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione and catalase, while reducing signs of oxidative stress in damaged liver cells.
Moringa is also studied in other models, for example in mice with liver damage due to a high-fat diet, moringa leaves extract help prevent early damage and restore the antioxidant state in the liver.
This can be understood as supporting the metabolic mechanism and liver function in the context of a previously stressful diet.
Moringa is not only outstanding in its ability to affect the liver. This plant also contains vitamins A, C, E, minerals and protein, which help the body increase resistance, support the digestive system and balance overall metabolism, factors that help the system decompose waste and toxins more effectively in a natural way.
Organizations such as the NIH recommend that foods rich in antioxidants and diverse nutrients can support liver and kidney functions - the body's two main detoxification routes.
Moringa in food form (fresh leaves, leaf powder or tea) is often considered safe when used in reasonable doses.
Major clinical studies also show that moringa does not cause liver enzyme disorders or obvious side effects in most cases of moderate use. However, if used at very high doses or when there is specific liver disease, you should still consult your doctor.
Moringa, a wild plant common in tropical regions, is being researched by modern science as a plant that can support liver function, reduce oxidative stress and contribute to naturally purifying the body.
