Moringa leaf extracts scavenge the stress-causing free radicals from your body. They are known for their antioxidant properties. Terpenoids, saponins, tannins, and flavonoids are the common phytochemicals found in them (18).

Phenolic compounds are the primary antioxidants. They inactivate free radicals, prevent decomposition of complex molecules into free radicals, and neutralize the existing free radicals (18).

It is because of this property that Moringa leaves help manage chronic disorders like diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and aids in cancer prevention (18).

Antioxidants in Moringa, such as quercetin and chlorogenic acid, combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, promoting better health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Antioxidants help counteract oxidative stress. Chronic oxidative stress is the imbalance of the amount of antioxidants and free radicals in your cells. It is linked to the development of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.3

The moringa tree is full of phenolic compounds, which are molecules with anti-inflammatory properties. Flavonoids, phenolics, and carotenoids are phenolic compounds in parts of the Moringa tree. Researchers have found phenolic compounds like flavonoids may promote immune health, prevent chronic disease, and fight inflammation.4
