Recommended Dosage
There’s no recommended set in stone or a pre-determined required dosage of moringa since it’s only a herbal supplement and not an essential nutrient. It depends on several factors such as the user’s age, health, and several other conditions.

That being said, there’s some evidence that the optimum dose for humans has been calculated to be 29 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

It’s recommended that you start by taking half a teaspoon of dried moringa orally per day for three to five days, increasing your intake slowly over two weeks as you get accumulated to its effects. Most people choose to take moringa every several days but not every single day for a long duration of time since it can cause laxative effects and an upset stomach when overused.

Use
You can sprinkle it on cereals, oatmeal, salads, and vegetables as you would use salt or mix it with yogurt. You can also add it to cooked food, soups, fruit juices, smoothies, water, and so on.

◉ Should be stored in airtight glass containers -in a cool, dark, and dry area- to preserve the flavor, texture, and properties.
