HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Moringa Leaf Extract Powder by Materia Organica

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: moringa leaf extract in powder form. Moringa is a nutrient-dense plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic and folk medicine.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Moringa product and its label doesn't state a use — see Moringa's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence supporting moringa leaf extract for its traditional uses isn't established in the data we hold. The product's potential benefits for iron deficiency anemia, asthma, athletic performance, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and high cholesterol all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence, meaning studies either don't exist, are too small, or show mixed results.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Moringa

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Moringa leaf appears generally well tolerated when used as food, though high-quality safety data are limited. The most common side effect is transient diarrhea — in one trial, 25% of people taking 8 grams daily experienced it.

Allergic reactions, including severe ones (anaphylaxis), have been reported rarely. Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a serious skin reaction, has been linked to moringa leaf consumption in at least one case.

Avoid medicinal doses of moringa 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 hasn't been well studied — talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you're nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Moringa.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 870 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this moringa powder, check if you take any drugs broken down by the CYP3A4 enzyme — moringa's actual effect on these is unclear, but lab work and patient studies give conflicting signals (Moderate severity). Ask your pharmacist specifically about levothyroxine (Synthroid) if you take it for your thyroid (Moderate severity).

If you're on blood sugar medications or take certain other drug types cleared by your liver, run them through the checker below.

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.

Materia Organica's moringa powder might interest you if you're looking for a nutrient-dense supplement, but don't expect proven benefits for specific health conditions yet — the evidence isn't there. If you take any prescription medications, especially those for thyroid function, blood sugar, or metabolized by your liver, run them through the checker on this page first.

Diarrhea is the most likely side effect; rare allergic reactions have been reported. Check with your pharmacist before starting.

Moringa Leaf Extract, Powder6 drug types · 869 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Organic Moringa Leaf Extract Powder by Materia Organica: Common Questions

Does Organic Moringa Leaf Extract Powder by Materia Organica interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Moringa Leaf Extract Powder has a known interaction with 869 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Moringa Leaf Extract Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this moringa powder actually help with diabetes or high cholesterol?
The evidence isn't established in our data. While animal studies suggest moringa can lower blood glucose, human studies haven't shown consistent results for diabetes, and the same goes for cholesterol. Talk to your doctor if you're considering it as part of your diabetes or cholesterol plan.
What side effects should I expect?
Diarrhea is the most common — one trial found it in 25% of people taking 8 grams daily, and it was temporary. Rare allergic reactions, including severe ones, have been reported. One case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a serious skin reaction) has been linked to moringa leaf consumption.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Moringa is traditionally used to boost milk supply, but safety data during breastfeeding haven't been well studied. There's not enough information to know either way — talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Moringa leaf appears generally well tolerated as food, but high-quality safety data are limited. We don't have strong long-term safety information, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor about how long it's appropriate for you to use it.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
Moringa leaf extract may affect enzymes and proteins in your body that clear many different drugs from your system. Even though it's a single ingredient, those enzymes and proteins handle hundreds of medications, so the interaction list is long — but most documented interactions are theoretical and haven't been proven in people taking the actual drugs.
