Manufacturer’s Claim
What follows is our review of Hawaii Pharm Moringa. The Moringa plant and consequently its extracts are gaining ground reputationally as a superfood for its many health benefits. Scientifically, these benefits include but are not limited to its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, diabetes-prevention, heart health, and vitamin-boosting properties.
Hawaii Pharm Moringa claims to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, a good blood pressure, healthy joint functioning and general mood buoyancy. Moringa Liquid Extract also claims to be a powerful vitamin, mineral, protein, amino acid and antioxidant supplement.
Formula
The main ingredients are:
- Organic Moringa (Moringa Oleifera) Dried Leaf Powder – dry leaf to solvent ratio is 1:3
- Vegetable glycerine
- Alcohol
- Water
No sugar, yeast, corn, preservatives, synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, artificial coloring, dairy, wheat, soy, salt or mold.
The concentration of Moringa extract included is of very good strength, and only organic, ethically sourced materials have been used. The product is gluten-free, GMO-free, alcohol-free and suitable for vegans.
One potential drawback is the inclusion of vegetable glycerine. Vegetable glycerine is widely used as a sweetener and is considered safe for consumption in general. However, the following should be noted:
- Glycerine is not for the calorie-conscious as it, in fact, contains slightly more calories than sugar.
- Diabetics who’ve adjusted their palates to foods that are not high on the sweet sensitivity scale may find the taste of this product too sweet.
- Glycerine is often used in suppositories for its moisture-attracting properties. Irritable bowel sufferers may experience itching, burning, nausea, diarrhea, and cramps.
Instructions
An adult dose is 20-30 drops (with 1 squeeze of the dropper equalling 1 ml) up to 4 times a day. Administer drops directly onto the tongue or consume diluted in a glass of water, tea or juice.
The recommended dose seems normal and within the range of reasonable effectiveness.
Note:
Consuming each of the 4 doses in tea or juice may not be suitable for diabetics or dieters due to the potential increase in sugar, sweeteners or calories.
Cost
A 4 oz (120 ml) bottle is available for purchase at $19,95 online. No bulk discounts are seemingly available.
Possible Side Effects
- Diarrhea, cramps, gas, nausea and other symptoms related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
- Slightly increased calorie consumption.
- Dizziness or gagging, taste-related.
Guarantee
There are no guarantees on the actual product, such as 30-day or 60-day money-back guarantees. In our experience when reviewing products, a manufacturer-backed money-back satisfaction guarantee speaks to the manufacturer’s confidence in a product. The lack of a money-back guarantee for Hawaii Pharm Moringa raises questions as to its effectiveness.
Hawaii Pharm will gladly accept returns and refund your purchase should the wrong product have been shipped to you. There is also a returns policy for damaged goods. Be sure to retain proof. No returns are accepted on 15×4 oz, 2×32 oz, 64 oz and 2-gallon options.
Hawaii Pharm Moringa Review – The Bottom Line
Moringa Liquid Extract is made from all natural, quality ingredients and is manufactured in a Hawaiian FDA-registered facility. The strength and premium nature of the Moringa extract is very good. The product is completely alcohol and preservative-free.
Of concern is the lack of money-back guarantee, possible exacerbation of irritable bowel syndrome and effect on diabetic taste profiles in particular due to its sweetness, and cumulative calorie count.
