Photo by Josh Mercado There was a time when moringa — or malunggay, as it’s known in the Philippines — was the talk of the town across the beauty, wellness, and food industries.</div>From malunggay soap and pandesal to malunggay juice, supplements, and even coffee, the so-called “miracle tree” was everywhere. These products remain on the shelves today, but the buzz that once surrounded them has noticeably faded.Recently, executives from wellness brand Moringa Vita, together with health expert Isabel Nieto, took center stage in an effort to bring back the glory days of malunggay.They introduced the Moringa Vita food supplement and coffee mix, both rich in essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin A. Additionally, the products contain protein, antioxidants, beta-carotene, and natural anti-inflammatory compounds that help strengthen the body’s defenses against illness. Nieto also pointed out that the brand can &quot;help lactating mothers by acting as a natural galactagogue, thereby increasing breastmilk production.&quot;The Pinay health expert went on to explain the power of malunggay, telling ABS-CBN News, “It possesses characteristics that may help reduce inflammation, promote recuperation, and even show promise in cancer prevention. With such a wide spectrum of benefits, malunggay is more than simply a vegetable on the menu; it is a natural ally for long-term health.” <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1762904074803image2 (3).jpeg" style="width:955px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Plant manager Helen Nebril and health expert Isabel Nieto discuss benefits of malunggay.

While vitamin C encourages the production of collagen, which is essential for skin function, vitamin A aids in maintaining the integrity of the skin.”“Moringa is an excellent plant-based protein source if you&#x27;re vegetarian, vegan, or just trying to cut back on meat. Additionally, it take doesn’t take as long to cook as other non-meat protein sources; just shake it into your preferred beverage or smoothie,” she added. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1762904173843image0 (7).jpeg" style="width:955px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Don Jansen Dy and Chester Dy talk about family business.

His family members, Don Jansen Dy and Chester Dy, also spoke with ABS-CBN News about their campaign for organic malunggay leaves and the significance of living well with purpose.</div>“Moringa Vita was created with one clear objective in mind: to make malunggay easier to take on a daily basis. It provides concentrated nourishment in an easy-to-use capsule form by converting pure malunggay leaves. There are no fillers or shortcuts — only pure malunggay, expertly prepared to maintain its efficacy,” they shared.The two added, “Moringa Vita stands apart not only for its products but also for its purpose. Made with pride in the Philippines, it caters to the daily requirements of Filipinos, whether they are busy professionals going to work, lactating mothers caring for their babies, or anyone who just wants to keep active and healthy. Its core value is that immunity is the finest form of insurance. In a world when health is invaluable and medical expenses are on the rise, safeguarding one&#x27;s health now ensures one&#x27;s strength tomorrow.”The fast-paced lifestyle, daily stress, and unpredictable weather have made health one of the most crucial topics of discussion in our day and age. Malunggay is a simple yet potent plant that continues to stand out as people look for ways to strengthen their bodies and protect their families.“We&#x27;re bringing back the power of malunggay. We also need to support our farmers and organic products,” Dy highlighted.It is also worth noting that two Philippine senators filed the Moringa Bill last year, which aims to provide a comprehensive framework for the planning, development, and promotion of moringa due to its nutritional and medicinal benefits.
