A cup of chopped moringa leaves has about 0.84 mg of iron, 8 mcg of folate, and 1588 IU of vitamin A (4). Consuming Moringa may be beneficial for pregnant women and women dealing with anemia.

Rat studies show that moringa leaves show a positive effect on blood parameters. These include platelet count, hemoglobin levels, packed cell volume (red blood cell volume), maternal anemia, etc.

Optimal levels of iron and hemoglobin in women prevent complications during pregnancy and delivery, including low birth weight (5), (6).

Moreover, iron absorption is vitamin A-dependent. Since Moringa powder is a good source of vitamin A, it boosts the rate of iron retention. Hence, you will not face rapid iron reserve depletion in your body (7).
