A mature Moringa oleifera tree, with its characteristic long seed pods, growing in cultivation.
Native to the foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India, Moringa oleifera has been cultivated for thousands of years across South Asia and is now grown throughout the tropics and subtropics worldwide, including Haiti, where IAM cultivates it for premium-grade production.
Premium-grade, independently certified Moringa from Haiti
IAM Moringa products have been independently certified by Columbia Food Laboratories (Oregon, USA) as among the most potent, efficacious, and highest-quality Moringa products available globally. As a producer of premium-grade Moringa with independently verified superior quality, IAM is positioned to capture a meaningful share of the current market and its ongoing annual growth. Moringa is one of the world's fastest-growing trees and, with an average lifespan of 75 to 80 years, represents a long-term agricultural asset capable of generating sustainable yields and recurring revenue for generations.
Industry research published by Brandessence Market Research and Consulting (PharmiWeb, August 2020) valued the global Moringa ingredients market at USD 5.66 billion in 2018, projecting growth to USD 9.98 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 8.44%.
The most nutrient-dense botanical on earth
Including 46 antioxidants, 36 anti-inflammatories, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, chlorophyll, and 18 amino acids — including nine rarely found intact in today's food chain. In 2008, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) named Moringa the "Botanical of the Year" in celebration of Earth Day.
Dried Moringa leaves carry quercetin at roughly 100 mg per 100g — far above red raspberry (3.58 mg/100g). Moringa also contains arginine and histidine, two amino acids especially important for infant development.
Thirteen known Moringa species
Documented use across continents for thousands of years
Historical and ethnobotanical records trace Moringa knowledge across the Caribbean, West Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania — reflecting thousands of years of traditional use across the regions where the tree grows.
Moringa is known by many regional names, including Sajina in Fiji, Katdes in Guam, and Malungkai in Palau — among dozens of names used across Oceania, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean (see treesforlife.org/moringa/names for the full list).
Independently tested by Columbia Food Laboratories, Inc. (Corbett, Oregon)
Per 100g of IAM Moringa Oleifera leaf powder, independent lab analysis recorded 343.9 kcal, 25.2g protein, 37.94g dietary fiber, 2,958mg calcium, 175mg iron, and 53,900 IU vitamin A — figures that place IAM Moringa among the most nutrient-dense botanical products independently verified to date.

Where global hunger is highest, Moringa already grows
According to the United Nations World Food Programme's Interactive Hunger Map, the regions most affected by malnutrition — including much of Latin America, the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South and Southeast Asia — closely overlap with the regions where Moringa is naturally cultivated. This overlap underscores Moringa's potential as a low-cost, high-impact nutritional resource exactly where it is needed most.
Four pillars of application
Moringa's potential begins at the community level — from a single sapling.
Leaves and pods provide nutrition and medicine; trees support alley cropping and erosion control; flowers, bark, and roots are used medicinally; seeds support water purification, medicine, and oil production; and gum is used medicinally.
In field research conducted in Senegal by Mr. Lowell Fuglie of Church World Service and AGADA, children maintained or increased weight and improved health, while pregnant women recovered from anemia and delivered babies with higher birth weights after Moringa supplementation.
Research cited in agricultural studies shows Moringa fodder can increase daily weight gain in livestock by up to 32% and boost milk production by 43% to 65%.
A simple plant growth spray — juice extracted from Moringa green matter, diluted with 36 parts water and applied at 25ml per plant — has been shown to accelerate growth, strengthen pest and disease resistance, and increase yield by 20–35% across crops including bell pepper, sugar cane, sorghum, and turnips.
Field trials led by researchers including Nikolaus Foidl, Leonardo Mayorga, and Dr. Nadir Reyes Sánchez in Nicaragua have advanced intensive Moringa cultivation methods, supporting consistent, large-scale production.
High-profile use across sport, wellness media, and consumer brands
Five-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield has been reported as a daily Moringa consumer. Welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao was associated with a Moringa-based energy drink ("Malungay") campaign, and four-time bench press world record holder Luke Curry has credited a lower-grade Moringa product with supporting his strength, stamina, and recovery from a tendinitis injury.
Dr. Mehmet Oz featured Moringa oleifera as a nutrient-dense "energy blaster" superfood on The Dr. Oz Show, highlighting the leaves' iron, vitamin, and antioxidant content.
Existing Moringa-based consumer brands illustrate the category's commercial range: Zija markets Moringa tree leaf supplements, Sting has launched a Moringa-infused energy drink campaign in the Philippines, and Superinga's "Mo Fuel" is a Moringa sparkling energy drink. These examples point to the kind of energy and functional beverage products that can also be developed using premium IAM Moringa.
