Forget kale!

Moringa trumps kale as a superfood—which explains why its popularity has exploded all over the globe in recent years. 

It contains twice as much protein as kale, 97 times the vitamin B2, and four times the iron. No wonder the moringa tree has been dubbed the most nutrient-rich plant yet discovered.

Nearly every part of the tree—leaves, roots, bark, pods, nuts, and flowers—has been used in herbal medicine to treat well over 300 ailments for thousands of years. 

Some of the conditions moringa has been used to treat include diabetes, joint pain, long-lasting inflammation, and even cancer. It’s also been used for different kinds of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. 

By including it in their diet, everyone stands to benefit from the plant’s plentiful antioxidants and bioactive compounds. That said, some of moringa’s amazing health benefits are specific to men. 

If you’re curious about exactly how moringa benefits men and how to incorporate it into your diet, you’ve come to the right place. 

Let’s start with a general health recap of this superfood, and then explore the specific health benefits it has for men. 

What Is Moringa and How Is It Taken?

Moringa, scientifically known as Moringa oleifera, is a tree that’s native to North India. It’s also grown in Africa, South East Asia, Arabia, South America, and the Pacific and Caribbean Islands. The hardy, evergreen tree thrives in tropical, subtropical, and semi-arid regions.

Almost all parts of the tree are edible. Everything from its roots, bark, pods, and flowers, to its leaves can be used in smoothies, soups, stir-fries, cookies, cupcakes, and even macaroons.

Moringa takes pride of place in Ayurveda—a healthy-lifestyle system that’s been used in India for more than 5,000 years. In Ayurveda, moringa is considered a heating and pungent food. According to Ayurvedic principles, these qualities make moringa ideal for deep cleansing and detoxification of the body.

In many African and Asian cultures, parts of the moringa tree are incorporated into local dishes. Since it’s so hardy and nutritious, the moringa tree is highly prized in areas where other healthy foods can be difficult to cultivate.

Parts of the tree can also be eaten raw, steamed, roasted, or boiled to create traditional herbal medicine. Notably, the leaves are used to prepare herbal tea for boosting health and vitality. 

Moringa seeds can also be pressed into oil, which is usually added to food or used for skin and hair care. 

In the US, moringa is most commonly consumed in powder or capsule form. You can add the powder to an amazingly vast array of recipes and smoothies, or just mix it with water or juice. 

Kuli Kuli Foods brings you Pure Moringa Vegetable Powder made from drying and pulverizing organic moringa leaves.

Moringa capsules are essentially just the same powder packaged into capsules. 

Whichever form you choose, make sure to review the recommended daily dosage. Generally, 5–10 grams of moringa per day is adequate.

In What Ways Is Moringa Good for Men’s Health?

Moringa has plenty of health benefits for men, especially when it comes to sexual and reproductive health. 

But let’s not overlook the superfood’s general health benefits either, which are well-documented. 

Moringa is called “the miracle tree” in many cultures around the world, and for good reason. Some of its general health benefits include:

  • Combating oxidative damage in the form of illness and disease
  • Inhibiting the growth of and killing tumor cells 
  • Protecting the body from inflammation 
  • Healing skin abrasions
  • Controlling cholesterol levels
  • Improving blood circulation
  • Protecting your heart health 

With these overall health benefits, how does this superfood specifically benefit men?

Here are some of moringa’s powerful health benefits for men:

1 – It Promotes Prostate Health

Moringa leaves and seeds are rich in sulfur compounds that may have anti-cancer properties—meaning they can help in treating prostate cancer. Test tube studies show that these compounds can inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer cells.

In addition, moringa may help to prevent age-related prostate enlargement, which causes difficulty when urinating.

In recent studies, researchers gave mice moringa leaf extract and testosterone shots daily for 4 weeks to induce prostate enlargement. 

The results showed that moringa helped to significantly reduce prostate weight. The extract also reduced compounds related to the development of prostate cancer. 

2 – It May Alleviate Erectile Dysfunction

Because of the improved circulation and the healing antioxidants associated with moringa, this superfood is known to improve sexual function. For men, moringa can help alleviate erectile dysfunction (ED). 

Erectile dysfunction affects more than 30 million men in the US. Fortunately, moringa can help to prevent and treat erectile dysfunction. 

The antioxidants in moringa improve blood circulation throughout the body, which may help in resolving erectile issues. In addition, some studies in rats show that moringa extracts can inhibit enzymes that have been linked to ED. 

What’s more, research on rats shows that moringa extracts can help relax the smooth muscle in the penis, therefore improving blood flow to the area. 

3 – It May Improve Male Fertility 

On top of helping with ED, moringa can also improve male fertility. 

The antioxidants in moringa can help keep your sperm healthy. Infertility in men is most often linked to reduced sperm production and issues with sperm motility. 

According to findings from studies in rabbits and rats, moringa leaf powder can significantly improve semen volume, sperm count, and sperm motility. 

Moreover, moringa leaf extract also may prevent the loss of sperm caused by exposure to heat, chemotherapy, or the electromagnetic rays emitted by cell phones. 

That said, human studies are still needed to confirm moringa’s effectiveness in boosting male fertility. 

4 – It Improves Hair Growth

Away from sexual and reproductive health, moringa also supports good hair days.

Adding moringa to your diet can help improve your hair growth—keeping hair loss at bay. The nutrients and minerals in moringa, including vitamins C and E, iron, zinc, and Omega-3 fatty acids are perfect for hair nourishment. 

Not only do these vitamins and minerals foster hair growth, they also reduce hair breakage and shedding. 

Here is a summary of how the nutrients in moringa can help you with hair growth:

NutrientHair Benefit
IronHelps improve oxygen supply to your roots for better growth
ZincHelps damaged hair follicles recover more quickly
Amino acids (arginine, cystine, cysteine, lysine, methionine)Building blocks of hair cells, promoting healthy hair growth
Vitamins C & EHelp fight against free radicals that cause hair damage and premature greying
Omega-3 fatty acidsHelp thicken your hair strands

5 – It Promotes Muscle Strength

Moringa for muscle repair and growth

Since it contains all 18 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids, moringa is considered a complete plant protein. Its protein content can help build and repair your muscles after a workout.

Moringa has a higher protein content than yogurt and some legumes. It’s, therefore, a great source of protein for fitness enthusiasts and athletes.

With fewer calories and higher fiber and nutrient content, plant proteins tend to be healthier than animal proteins. This makes moringa a great supplement for vegans. 

Including moringa in your pre-workout smoothie will also give you a hefty boost of calcium, which is essential for promoting strong muscle contractions for endurance. What’s more, moringa contains more calcium than yogurt and milk.

Other nutrients in moringa that aid in muscle repair and growth include vitamin B, iron, and magnesium.
