5. Boost Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout your body. The protein carries carbon dioxide from your blood into the lungs where you expel it as you breathe. Low hemoglobin creates a condition known as anemia, where the body does not obtain enough oxygen from the blood.
Anemia can result in a variety of adverse health issues that include diminished liver and kidney function as well as frequent urinary tract infections.
Anemia also increases the risk of miscarriage. The Mayo Clinic defines low hemoglobin counts as below 12 grams per deciliter in women and 13.5 grams per deciliter in men.
A lack of iron is one of the primary causes of anemia. An increase in dietary iron is required to reverse symptoms and return hemoglobin to optimal levels. Moringa leaf is one of the most abundant natural sources of iron. Each 100-grams of the leaf contains 4-grams of non-heme iron.
