Bienfaits du moringa : un super-aliment aux multiples vertus

Benefits of moringa: a superfood with multiple virtues

Contents
The benefits of moringa have been recognised for centuries. It is a tropical plant native to Asia (India) and Africa, often called the "miracle tree" or "tree of life" [1]. For centuries, it has indeed been used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat many ailments. Today, modern science is increasingly confirming the health benefits of moringa. Rich in nutrients, it is also being studied for its role during key life stages, such as moringa during breastfeeding, where it may support new mothers in their breast milk production.

The nutritional properties of moringa

Le moringa est l’un des végétaux les plus complets du monde végétal. Ses feuilles contiennent notamment [2] :

  • 7 fois plus de vitamine C que les oranges,
  • 10 fois plus de vitamine A que les carottes,
  • 17 fois plus de calcium que le lait,
  • 9 fois plus de protéines que le yaourt,
  • 15 fois plus de potassium que les bananes,
  • 25 fois plus de fer que les épinards.


En plus de ces nutriments, le moringa est source d’antioxydants, de fibres et d’acides aminés essentiels. Les bienfaits du moringa sont donc multiples [3].

The health benefits of moringa

It is widely recognised that the benefits of moringa are vast and cover many aspects of physical and mental wellbeing. Here are the main advantages that have been studied and observed for this product [4]. 

A powerful ally against oxidative stress

Moringa is particularly rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, which help neutralise free radicals responsible for premature cell ageing [5]. Consuming moringa regularly therefore contributes to combating oxidative stress, which is responsible for many issues: skin ageing, protecting the cardiovascular system and reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases [6].

Benefits of moringa for the immune system

Thanks to its concentration of vitamin C, iron and zinc, moringa supports the body's natural defences. It helps to better resist infections, particularly during the winter months, and supports recovery after illness. According to studies, moringa may not only eliminate pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites, but also inhibit chronic inflammation, such as asthma, ulcerative colitis and metabolic diseases [7].

A blood sugar regulator

Several studies suggest that moringa may contribute to reducing blood sugar levels. This property makes it an interesting supplement as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and limit blood sugar spikes [8]. 

A natural anti-inflammatory action

The leaves and seeds of moringa contain compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. The presence of flavonoids gives it its anti-inflammatory properties [9]. This makes it a natural support against inflammation.

A support against fatigue and low energy

Thanks to its high iron content, moringa is ideal for people suffering from anaemia or chronic fatigue [10][11]. Combined with its high protein and nutrient content, it restores vitality and endurance, whilst also boosting concentration.

A support for the heart and blood circulation

The potassium and antioxidant composition present in moringa help to regulate blood pressure and improve blood circulation [12]. 

A digestive ally

Rich in fibre, moringa supports intestinal transit and helps prevent constipation [13][14]. It also contributes to maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, which is essential for good digestion and a well-functioning immune system.

Spotlight on moringa and breastfeeding

Le moringa allaitement est de plus en plus étudié. Dans certaines traditions, les jeunes mères consommaient des feuilles de moringa pour favoriser la lactation.

Le moringa est riche en phytostérols tels que le stigmastérol, le sitostérol et le kampestérol, qui sont des précurseurs des hormones. Ces composés augmentent la production d'œstrogènes, ce qui stimule la prolifération des canaux mammaires pour produire du lait [15]. 

Une étude clinique randomisée en double aveugle, a porté sur 68 mères. L’objectif était d’évaluer si la consommation de capsules de moringa (250 mg de feuilles séchées, toutes les 12h) pouvait augmenter la production de lait maternel, comparée à un placebo [16]. Les résultats sont particulièrement intéressants : au 4ᵉ jour, l’augmentation est significative, avec une production supérieure de 47 %. Le 5ᵉ jour, la différence était encore plus marquée : les mères sous moringa produisaient en moyenne 166 % de lait en plus que celles du groupe placebo. 

Une autre étude à la même dose a montré des résultats similaires [17].

Une autre étude similaire, avec une prise de 350 mg, deux fois par jour, a montré que le moringa était efficace pour stimuler la lactation. Au 10ᵉ jour postpartum, la différence atteignait un niveau spectaculaire : le groupe moringa produisait en moyenne 162 % de lait en plus que le groupe placebo [18].

Apport nutritionnel pour la mère et le bébé : les vitamines et minéraux contenus dans le moringa contribuent à renforcer l’énergie de la mère (vitamine C, fer, potassium, etc).

Les bienfaits du moringa pour l’allaitement ayant été largement démontrés, cela en fait un complément alimentaire allaitement de choix. 

Il est toujours recommandé de consulter un professionnel de santé, notamment une consultante en lactation IBCLC, avant de consommer une gélule de moringa. Cela permet d’adapter la posologie, tout en corrigeant potentiellement un problème de prise au sein, etc.

How to use moringa on a daily basis?

Le moringa peut être intégré facilement dans son quotidien. Il est important de choisir des produits de qualité et bio, notamment pour garantir l’absence de pesticides : 

  • En poudre : ajouté dans des smoothies, jus, yaourts ou soupes. La poudre a un goût assez amer. 
  • En gélules : pour une consommation pratique, dosée et une efficacité optimale. Découvrez nos vitamines allaitement à base de moringa, avec 350mg de poudre de feuilles moringa dans 2 gélules. Un complément 100% bio.  
  • En feuilles séchées : à infuser en tisane.
  • En huile : utilisée surtout en cosmétique, elle pourrait être bénéfique pour la peau et les cheveux.
  • Avec nos snacks allaitement bio Mama moonies, qui contiennent 350mg de moringa par bouchée. 

Sa prise est compatible avec notre complément alimentaire post partum Post essentials. 

L’idéal est de commencer par de petites quantités de ce produit puis d’augmenter progressivement selon la tolérance. Cela permettra d’éviter un engorgement, et une mastite allaitement notamment. 

En alternative au moringa, nous avons les snacks allaitement avec du fenugrec, ou encore la tisane allaitement avec du carvi, une plante. 

Precautions to take when consuming moringa

Although moringa is beneficial, it should be consumed in moderation. Too high a dose can cause digestive discomfort (bloating, diarrhoea).

  • Pregnant women: to be avoided, as it may induce uterine contractions, particularly in early pregnancy [19].
  • Moringa for breastfeeding: studies demonstrating its benefits for lactation report no side effects for the mother or the breastfed baby [20].
  • People on medication: if you are taking medication for diabetes, hypertension or thyroid disorders, it is advisable to speak to your doctor first [21].

In conclusion on the benefits of moringa

The benefits of moringa make it one of the most promising foods available. Thanks to its nutritional richness, it supports health, contributes to energy levels and helps maintain the body's overall balance. Its potential in the context of moringa during breastfeeding also makes it a valuable ally for new mothers. However, like any natural supplement, it should be consumed with moderation and care. It should also be chosen carefully, opting for good quality and organic.
When incorporated thoughtfully into the diet, moringa can become a genuine health ally — both natural and effective.
