Moringa - the Natural Health Supplement for Menopause


Menopause is the condition occurring in women when their menstrual cycle ceases. As a result there occurs a hormonal problem which will affect the normal calcium absorption. Moringa with its high calcium content helps to prevent the calcium deficiency.

Menopause is the complete shutting down of the female reproductive system. The normal age range for the occurrence of menopause is somewhere between the age of 45 and 55. After menopause, women are more likely to have heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, etc.
Moringa leaves obtained from Moringa oleifera tree, as a supplement provide 17 times the calcium in milk, 15 times the potassium in banana, 4 times the Vitamin A in carrot, 25 times the iron in spinach and half time the Vitamin C content in orange. The nutrients present in Moringa are of high biological value as it is easily absorbed by the body. Moringa contains all the essential vitamins and minerals along with the antioxidants which are essential for the body.
Estrogen helps bones absorb the calcium they need to stay strong. It also helps to conserve the calcium stored in the bones by encouraging other cells to use dietary calcium more efficiently. Estrogen helps to keep bones healthy, may help reduce a woman's blood cholesterol levels, help keep skin and arteries more elastic, and possibly help her memory. A lack of estrogen in post-menopausal women prevents the absorption and utilization of calcium. Moringa as the richest source of calcium aids in reducing the effect caused by low estrogen level.
Nutritional requirements vary from person to person and change with age. Calcium is an essential nutrient which our body needs every day. A healthy pre menopausal woman should have about 1,000 mgs of calcium per day and women after menopause consume 1,500 mgs per day if they are not using hormonal replacement. Vitamin D is also very important for calcium absorption and bone formation. Moringa contains calcium along with Vitamin D which will increase the calcium absorption. When the bone mass decreases the bone become porous leading to a condition known as Osteoporosis.
Moringa is rich in vitamin to the extent that it is one of the richest plant sources of Vitamin. Moringa has Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K. The list of Minerals present in Moringa is abundant and few of the main minerals include Calcium, Copper, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese and Zinc. Researched studies are mixed on the effectiveness of vitamin E for reducing hot flushes in menopausal women, however this fat-soluble vitamin is important for health.
