Generally people in their 40s and 50s , especially women, need a lot of vitamins and minerals for performing the normal functionalities of the body. Middle aged women suffer a lot of health disorders due to the physiological and enzymatic changes in the body. Moringa helps them in many ways and aids them in crossing this stage with ease and joy.
Menopause:
Menopause is a crucial stage in every woman’s life. Though it is a painful stage, they can overcome the symptoms of menopause with the help of proper nutrients. A well balanced nutritional supplement is essential during menopause, as it enables the body to adjust automatically to the hormonal changes, naturally maintaining Estrogen from the adrenal glands and fat deposits. During Menopause, the body needs extra Iron and Calcium to compensate for the blood bleeding. Because of the irregular blood flow and hormonal changes, women feel tired and at times stressed.Studies have shown that Moringa leaf powder has an exceptionally high iron content. 100g (3.5oz) of beef liver contains about 10 mg iron, pork liver about 10-20 mg. Moringa leaf powder contains an astonishing 28 mg of iron per 100g! This high iron content is even higher than the iron content of any animalistic source. This is very unusual for plants. Moringa leaf Powder, with 17 times more calcium than that of Milk and 10 times more Vitamin A than that of Carrots, help to alleviate the symptoms of menopause.
The high Vitamin C content of Moringa is known for it’s effect on the immune system and it also strengthens the blood vessels. The Bio-flavonoids such as Quercetin, present in Moringa Leaf powder, is believed to reduce hot flushes. The high Vitamin E content, present in Moringa, is also helpful for Vaginal dryness and one study showed that just 400IU of Vitamin E taken per day for between 1 and 4 months helped women.
Menopause is the complete shutting down of the female reproductive system. The normal age range for the occurrence of menopause is somewhere between the age of 45 and 55. After menopause, women are more likely to have heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, etc.

Moringa leaves obtained from Moringa oleifera tree, as a supplement provide 17 times the calcium in milk, 15 times the potassium in banana, 4 times the Vitamin A in carrot, 25 times the iron in spinach and half time the Vitamin C content in orange. The nutrients present in Moringa are of high biological value as it is easily absorbed by the body. Moringa contains all the essential vitamins and minerals along with the antioxidants which are essential for the body.

Estrogen helps bones absorb the calcium they need to stay strong. It also helps to conserve the calcium stored in the bones by encouraging other cells to use dietary calcium more efficiently.Estrogen helps to keep bones healthy, may help reduce a woman's blood cholesterol levels, help keep skin and arteries more elastic, and possibly help her memory. A lack of estrogen in post-menopausal women prevents the absorption and utilization of calcium. Moringa as the richest source of calcium aids in reducing the effect caused by low estrogen level.

Nutritional requirements vary from person to person and change with age. Calcium is an essential nutrient which our body needs every day. A healthy pre menopausal woman should have about 1,000 mgs of calcium per day and women after menopause consume 1,500 mgs per day if they are not using hormonal replacement. Vitamin D is also very important for calcium absorption and bone formation. Moringa contains calcium along with Vitamin D which will increase the calcium absorption.When the bone mass decreases the bone become porous leading to a condition known as Osteoporosis.

Moringa has Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K.

Researched studies are mixed on the effectiveness of vitamin E for reducing hot flushes in menopausal women, however this fat-soluble vitamin is important for health.
