Herbal Hills Moringa-Review
Product Claims of Herbal Hills Moringa
The subject of our review today is an Ayurvedic formulation of moringa, the south-east Asian plant that is well-researched as containing more nutrients known to man than any other single source on the planet. It is dense with vitamins, minerals such as potassium, antioxidants and anti inflammatories. As such it has been used for centuries to ease stiff joints, help prevent cancer and other forms of cell degeneration and to boost immunity. In the west it is also highly regarded for its ability to suppress the appetite, helping you to lose weight, and this is why most people use it.
While there are a myriad moringa supplement makers, few of them meet the scientifically researched guidelines for what an effective moringa supplement should contain. Herbal Hills has produced a traditional eastern formulation, which also contains other Ayurvedic Indian herbs, which it says is synergistically processed so you get the best product.
Ingredients
Each tablet contains:
- Moringa oleifera leaf powder, 500 mg
The manufacturer is in India so there is no GMP-certification, a requirement for moringa supplements as per scientific guidelines. The moringa needs to be 100% pure, and we are not told that this is the case. Although Herbal Hills does not mention other herbs in its formula, it states that a synergistic blend has been used in the product description. To be effective, only pure moringa must be in the capsule - no proprietary blends, other ingredients, additives, fillers or binders. Lastly, the dose is lower than the recommended dose of 1200mg per day - in each tablet you are only getting 500 mg, not 600 mg. The body requires just the right dose, no more or no less in order to optimally utilize the various compounds and beneficial properties of this superfood.
Dosage Instructions
Take 2 tablets per day, preferably with warm water. You should always seek doctor’s advice first, especially if pregnant, nursing or on other medication. Remember that this dose is 20% below the required dose rendering it partially ineffective.
Cost and Guarantee
No mention is made of a returns process or guarantee policy. This is a minimum requirement for a good supplement as the most confident manufacturers back their products with 1-year guarantees. On Amazon, one bottle of 120 tablets retails for $21.49.
Summary Of Our Herbal Hills Moringa Review
The product contains 500mg of moringa per tablet which is below the required dose. It does not seem to be the only ingredient, given the manufacturer’s description. There is no guarantee and while you may receive some antioxidant benefits which will help detox your liver and other organs as well as boost your immunity, the total efficacy with regard to everything, including suppressing your appetite, is in doubt. There is no GMP certificate of compliance and a further requirement that the moringa be packaged in a vegetarian capsule is also not met. This is packaged in a gelatin capsule. In short, none of the researched, peer-reviewed and journal published scientific requirements for an optimal moringa supplement have been met.
