What is the correct way to take moringa in Australia?

Use Forest Super Foods Moringa exactly as directed on the current bottle label. The product is supplied in Australia as a TGA-listed medicine, AUST L 460360.

Swallow the capsules as directed and do not exceed the labelled amount. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

How many capsules should you take?

Each capsule contains 500 mg of Moringa oleifera leaf powder. The number of capsules to take should come from the current bottle directions, as the label is the source of truth for dosage.

Do not copy doses from overseas products or online discussions because capsule strength and directions can differ.

What time of day should you take moringa?

There is no need to create a complicated timing routine unless the label gives a specific instruction. Choose a time that makes it easy to take the product consistently and according to the directions.

If you are sensitive to supplements, pay attention to how you feel and keep your routine simple when introducing something new.

Should you start with a lower amount?

When starting any new food or supplement, it can be sensible to begin with a lower amount and increase gradually as tolerated, while still following the current label directions.

If you are unsure whether the product is suitable for you because of medicines, a medical condition or a history of reactions to foods or supplements, check with a health professional before starting.

Can moringa capsules be opened into food or drinks?

Forest Super Foods Moringa is supplied as a capsule medicine in Australia. Use it in the form and manner directed on the label rather than opening the capsules into food or drinks.

If you have difficulty swallowing capsules, contact Forest Super Foods or a pharmacist for product-specific guidance.

What should you check before the first dose?

Read the active ingredient, directions, warnings, expiry and storage instructions. Check that you have not recently started several new supplements at once, as this can make it harder to identify the cause of an unexpected reaction.

Do not use Forest Super Foods Moringa if you have Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

How long should you take moringa?

Follow the label and consider whether the reason you started taking the product is still relevant. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.

A supplement should not be used to delay assessment of new, unexplained or persistent symptoms.

How do you build a safe supplement routine?

Keep an up-to-date list of your medicines and supplements, use products at their labelled dose and store them as directed. Introducing one new product at a time can also make it easier to understand your own tolerance.

Re-check suitability if you become pregnant, start a new medicine, prepare for surgery or develop a new health condition.
