What is Moringa Oil?

The Moringa tree has bark, leaves, fruit, and seeds that can all be used for natural health practices, although root extracts can be toxic. Moringa oil is typically acquired through a cold-pressing process or a solvent extraction. This will allow you to access the rich source of nutrients in the seeds, which include vitamin C, vitamin B and various monounsaturated fats including very high levels of oleic acid, as well as behenic acid.

Nutritional Facts of Moringa Oil

Moringa oil has a unique nutrient profile, dominated by vitamin C and B-family vitamins, as well as an unusually high level of monounsaturated fats and some saturated fats. The most notable ingredient is oleic acid (omega-9), of which more than 70% of this oil is composed. Furthermore, there are significant amounts (5-10%) of behenic acid, a saturated fat also known as docosanoic acid, which has a number of notable effects on the body.

Drumstick Oil

Drumstick oil is another name for moringa oil, as the plant from which this oil is derived, Moringa oleifera, is often called the drumstick tree, as mentioned earlier. There are many different cultivars of the moringa tree, which produce oils of slightly different chemical composition and flavor, but generally, these oils are quite similar. Known at least since the times of the Greeks and Romans, this tree is known around the world as a drumstick tree, hence drumstick oil. The terms are interchangeable to most herbalists and natural health practitioners.
