HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Moringa Capsules by FGO
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: organic moringa powder. Moringa (also called drumstick tree) is a plant leaf traditionally used in herbal medicine.
The capsule itself is made from vegetable material, with rice flour, rice extract blend, and silicon dioxide as inactive ingredients to fill out the capsule and aid absorption.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that moringa is effective for any condition. The data rates iron deficiency anemia, asthma, athletic performance, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and high cholesterol as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate—meaning either the studies are too small, too few, or too poorly designed to confirm whether it works for these uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Moringa leaf powder is generally well tolerated as a food, though high-quality safety data are limited. The most common side effect from oral use is transient diarrhea; in one trial, 25% of people taking 8 grams daily experienced it.
Rare serious reactions—allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a severe skin and mouth condition)—have been reported. Avoid medicinal amounts of the root and bark, as they may stimulate the uterus and safety data are lacking.
Moringa is traditionally used to boost milk production, but safety during breastfeeding has not been well studied, so use caution. Pregnancy data rates moringa as possibly safe and also possibly unsafe—the evidence is mixed—so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it while pregnant.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist about any CYP3A4 substrates (a large category of drugs your liver breaks down), levothyroxine (thyroid medication), P-glycoprotein substrates, antidiabetes drugs, or CYP1A2 substrates you're taking. Moringa may unpredictably change how these medications work.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
FGO Moringa Capsules may appeal to people interested in traditional herbal supplements, but the evidence for its effectiveness on any specific condition isn't established yet. If you take any prescription medications—especially blood thinners, thyroid medication, blood sugar drugs, or anything metabolized by your liver—check your exact drugs against the tool on this page before starting.
Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Moringa Capsules by FGO Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
FGO Moringa Capsules contains organic moringa powder, which interacts with a number of medication types.
The most serious concern is with CYP3A4 substrates—a large group of drugs your liver breaks down—where moringa might unpredictably increase or decrease their levels in your bloodstream, potentially affecting how well they work or raising the risk of side effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Other moderate-severity interactions to watch for: moringa may reduce how well levothyroxine (thyroid replacement) works by interfering with how your body converts it to its active form, and it might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates (a group of medications pumped out of cells by a particular transporter protein). Additionally, there are minor interactions with blood sugar drugs, where moringa's blood glucose-lowering effects could theoretically add up with your medication, though human evidence is mixed; and with CYP1A2 substrates, where moringa may decrease their effectiveness.
Nevirapine (an HIV medication) is listed separately because a clinical trial in HIV patients showed no actual interaction despite theoretical concerns.
Altogether, these interactions span 870 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to search your exact prescriptions before starting.

organic Moringa powder
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, moringa might increase or decrease levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Some in vitro research suggests that moringa inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). However, other in vitro research suggests that moringa extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes. A pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine, which is partially metabolized by CYP3A4, when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)
Theoretically, moringa leaf can antagonize the effects of levothyroxine.
Animal research suggests that moringa aqueous leaf extract might reduce serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations by inhibiting the peripheral conversion of thyroxine (T4) to T3.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, moringa leaf extract might increase the levels and clinical effects of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa leaf extract inhibits renal P-glycoprotein transport activity. So far, this reaction has not been reported in humans.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, moringa might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal research shows that moringa can lower blood glucose levels. However, research in humans has not shown consistent blood glucose lowering effects.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, moringa might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Nevirapine (Viramune)
Moringa leaf is unlikely to have a clinically significant interaction with nevirapine.
Nevirapine is partially metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). In vitro evidence suggests that moringa inhibits CYP3A4. However, a pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in nevirapine pharmacokinetics when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.
