Studies initiated by Moringa Organics
DALLAS, July 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — The highest antioxidant food ever discovered now available
Moringa oleifera tea was recently found to have the highest antioxidant levels ever discovered in a food. Moringa’s ORAC is higher than blueberries and unlike blueberries, it is available year round. ORAC, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, is a measure of the antioxidant content of various foods.
Moringa oleifera is not technically a tea, but a tisane, a herbal plant infusion. It has no caffeine and is easy to digest, making it perfect for the entire family. A single serving has several times the nutritional value of several other common foods which are eaten specifically for their nutritive content.
