Nutrition Nugget: Moringa

Nutrition Nugget: Moringa

Author: Jenn Trepeck October 31, 2025 Duration: 12:41

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Moringa—the supplement that's suddenly flooding everyone's social media feeds. But is this ancient "miracle tree" actually worth the hype, or is it just another wellness trend that promises more than it can deliver? Jenn dives into the science (or lack thereof) behind moringa's claimed benefits for blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation. She reveals what the research shows, why most studies haven't even been conducted on humans, and whether it’s worth spending your money on this trendy supplement. Plus, she shares some surprising cautions about who may not want to take it and why the quality of what you're buying might matter more than you think. Like what you're hearing?
