WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF MORINGA?

what its potential drawbacks are. Fortunately, the disadvantages
of Moringa oleifera are offset by its advantages. Besides, the
disadvantages of Moringa oleifera are very case-dependent.

A large portion of these side effects are not associated with the
use of moringa in respect to the clinically advised dosage

and most likely with the over-consumption of it. Besides the


consumption of seeds, stem and root are more likely to be
associated with the side effects rather than the leaves.

your body when used together with moringa. Some of the

antihypertensive properties, using it along with other
antihypertensive drugs may result in very low blood pressure
which is not good either.

Diabetes medications – Drugs used to treat diabetes lower the

along with diabetes medication can lead to lower than optimum
blood sugar.
Levothyroxine – Though there is very less research on it but
moringa is believed to help in thyroid function. Using moringa
and levothyroxine can disrupt the balance.
