Dr. Reiner Mozo discussed the benefits of Malunggay and Turmeric |
I am diabetic. A recent study has confirmed that diabetic patients like me may benefit from regular intake of capsules containing Moringa oleifera (malunggay) leaves. The study says that malunggay not only reduces blood sugar levels, but also lowers the risks of stroke and heart attack.
In the first cohort study of M. oleifera on humans performed by Dr. Rainier Nery Mozo, with Dr. Imelda Caole-Ang as adviser, the leaves of this wispy tree were studied specifically for their properties affecting the hs-CRP (high specific C-reactive protein), a strong predictor of cardiovascular risks and death produced by the liver when there is inflammation, and hemoglobin A1c, the standard test that determines the past three months’ blood sugar control in people with diabetes.

The 12-week study, conducted November last year and peer-reviewed by the Philippine Internal Medicine Journal, supervised 52 selected subjects, all diagnosed with diabetes mellitus Type I or II. Patients with existing conditions related to inflammation other than diabetes were excluded.
“According to our study, even with controlled blood sugar levels, our patients still showed inflammation above the normal level. This increases their risk of getting a stroke or heart attack. They rely only on hemoglobin A1c tests. They haven’t had their hs-CRP checked,”

Among diabetes’ deadly comorbidities are hypertension, dysregulation or build-up of cholesterol, and impairment in fibrinolysis that leads to blood thickening.
The study was funded in part by the Philippine College of Physicians-Manila Chapter and Atienza Naturale Malunggay Capsule, which provided the supplements. Mozo also spent his own money on the study.
Malunggay is widely considered a “wonder
vegetable” because of its immense nutritional value. It helps promote good
eyesight and digestion. It may also provide help in cases of scurvy, asthma,
earache, and headaches.
And because of its rich nutritious calcium content, it is consumed by lactating
mothers to produce more milk to feed their babies. That’s why Malunggay is
referred to as “Mother’s Best Friend”.
Malunggay leaves are great sources of Vitamin A, B-Vitamins, and minerals
such as calcium and iron. What’s more, the leaves are also rich in
sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cystine.
Due to its high content of potent antioxidants Vitamins A, C, and E,
Malunggay is an outstanding neutralizer of unstable free-radicals that can
react with and damage other molecules. Antioxidants diminish wrinkles and fine
lines associated with aging. They may also prevent the onset of various chronic
disorders like arthritis, cancer and heart and kidney diseases.
