HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Moringa Leaf by Omica Organics
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: moringa leaf extract. Moringa is a plant used in traditional medicine across many cultures, and this powder form delivers the whole leaf extract without added fillers or other inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't support moringa for any specific condition yet. It's been studied for iron deficiency anemia, asthma, athletic performance, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and high cholesterol, but the research to date is insufficient to say whether it actually works for any of these.
That doesn't mean it won't help—it means we just don't have solid data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Moringa leaf powder is generally well tolerated when used as food, though high-quality safety studies are limited. The most common side effect is transient diarrhea; in one trial, about a quarter of people taking 8 grams daily experienced it.
Rare allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported, and there's one case report linking moringa leaves to Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a serious skin reaction). Avoid medicinal amounts of moringa root and bark—they may stimulate the uterus, and safety data are lacking.
If you're breastfeeding and considering moringa to boost milk supply, know that it's been used traditionally for this, but safety hasn't been well studied, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before taking this if you use CYP3A4 substrates (a large group including certain statins, blood pressure drugs, and immunosuppressants)—moringa's effect on them is unpredictable. Also flag levothyroxine (thyroid replacement), P-glycoprotein substrates (some heart and cancer drugs), diabetes medications, and drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 enzymes.
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.
Moringa leaf powder is a single-ingredient supplement generally tolerated as food, though solid evidence for medical use isn't established. It's worth a conversation with your pharmacist if you take CYP3A4 substrates, levothyroxine, diabetes drugs, or P-glycoprotein substrates—the interactions are uncertain but documented.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of allergic reactions, check with your pharmacist before starting.

Moringa Leaf Extract monograph & interactionsMoringa Leaf by Omica Organics Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Moringa Leaf Extract by Omica Organics has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with drugs metabolized through CYP3A4 enzymes—a major liver pathway. Moringa's effects here are uncertain: some research suggests it blocks this enzyme while other evidence suggests it speeds it up, meaning levels of these medications could go either direction, potentially making them less or more potent.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Moderate concerns also apply to levothyroxine (thyroid replacement), where moringa may weaken the drug's effects by interfering with how your body converts the inactive form to its active form. P-glycoprotein substrates (certain heart, cancer, and HIV medications) might accumulate to higher levels if you take moringa, though this hasn't been confirmed in humans yet.
Minor interactions are documented with diabetes medications (because moringa may lower blood sugar, adding to the drug's effect) and with drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 enzymes, where moringa might reduce their levels. A pharmacokinetic study showed no actual interaction with nevirapine despite theoretical concerns.
Altogether, these interactions span 855 individual medications. Use the search tool below to check your exact prescriptions before starting.

For each ingredient in Moringa Leaf with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Moringa Leaf Extract
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.
