Manufacturer’s Claim
Pura Vida claims that their Moringa supplement can be used to boost your metabolism and improve your general feeling of well-being. They claim it contains high levels of antioxidants and nutrients to boost your energy. This review tests these claims and determines the quality of this product.
Formula
Each serving of Pura Vida Moringa contains 4.7 g (0.17 oz) of Moringa oleifera leaf powder. There are many healthy compounds that Moringa oleifera leaf contains but the most abundant and important ones are calcium iron and potassium. It also contains high levels of vitamin A vitamin C and vitamin E. Vitamin A is important for eyesight, vitamin C for immunity and vitamin E as an antioxidant. Above all these, Moringa oleifera also contains a compound called benzylamine. Benzylamine acts with the insulin and fat cell pathways to lower circulating glucose and cholesterol.
Instructions
The product is taken in its raw format by mixing one teaspoon of it with water or milk. One teaspoon of Pura Vida Moringa should be taken twice a day preferably in the morning and afternoon. It is unclear from the manufacturer whether they suggest taking it before food or after.
We are a little bit unsure about the formulation of this product given in its raw form compared to an extract. Extracts are often formulated in a way that increases their absorption. Despite receiving a dose of 0.17 oz of the extract, not all of that may be absorbed and it is not possible to say what dosage a customer would actually receive.
Cost
8 oz of Pura Vida Moringa can be purchased online for the price of $21. Customers who subscribe for a regular order can save 5% (total price $19.95) on the purchase price of this product. If the customer subscribes for 5 different products from the manufacturer then they receive a 15% (total price $17.85) discount. The purchase price does not include the shipping cost and it is not clear whether subscribing grants the customer free shipping.
Possible Side Effects
Moringa oleifera extract is quite likely unsafe for pregnant mothers because it contains certain compounds that could induce a spontaneous contraction in the uterus. Apart from that, there appeared to be no major side effects to taking Moringa.
Guarantee
Pura Vida Moringa is backed by a 30-day money back guarantee. The customer needs to contact the manufacturer if they are unhappy with the product for any reason and they will receive the full purchase price back.
Pura Vida Moringa Review – The Bottom Line
Moringa oleifera extract does indeed produce all the benefits that the manufacturer promises but we are not entirely convinced that their formulation is ideal for giving these benefits. The price of this supplement is quite reasonable and there are some discounts available. We don’t find these discounts to be particularly significant compared to other manufacturers though. Customers might find a more effective product than this one on the market.
