Systematic review analyzes Moringa oleifera's effects on blood pressure and body weight in adults, suggesting blood pressure reduction but no impact on weight.
Key Points
This review aims to assess the efficacy of Moringa oleifera in lowering blood pressure and body weight through a systematic evaluation of randomized controlled trials.
Conducted systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs
Included eight randomized controlled trials published up to July 2024
Analyzed blood pressure and body weight changes associated with Moringa oleifera consumption
Moringa oleifera consumption significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by −6.00 mmHg, p < 0.001
Diastolic blood pressure decreased by −7.32 mmHg, p < 0.001
No significant changes were observed in body mass index or body weight (p = 0.435 and p = 0.938, respectively)
