Be Careful With Moringa!

 You might want to stay clear of seed extract consumption. It may have a high level of toxicity for human immune cells.

 And from personal experience, I did not know Moringa was a laxative and I took too much Moringa the other day! Moringa can have heavy laxative effect when taking in large amounts, so a safe dose to introduce into your food or diet and avoid digestive problems is ½ to 1 teaspoon per day of Moringa!
