Moringa seeds clean tap water by removing nearly all microplastics in lab study

Researchers in Brazil and the UK found moringa seed extracts act as a natural coagulant that removed about 98.5% of PVC microplastics from tap water in filtration tests, performing similarly to or better than alum and offering renewable, biodegradable advantages. Yet each seed treats only about 10 liters, raising scalability questions for large plants and leaving open questions about residues and effectiveness on other plastics or nanoplastics, necessitating further study especially for small communities.

Moringa seed extract cleans drinking water of 98% microplastics, beating traditional coagulants

A Brazilian study finds a salt-based extract from moringa seeds removes over 98% of PVC microplastics from drinking water, matching or outperforming aluminum sulfate (alum) and potentially simplifying treatment by enabling inline filtration. The moringa option offers greener benefits and lower sludge but raises questions about dissolved organic carbon leaching and requires scaling tests before widespread use.

"The Power of Moringa: Unveiling Its Benefits, Side Effects, and Risks"

Moringa, a tree native to India and Africa, is gaining popularity as a supplement due to its potential health benefits. It is available in various forms, including leaf powder, capsules, seed oil, and tea. Moringa is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and may support blood sugar management, blood pressure regulation, digestion, and dermatological conditions. However, excessive consumption of moringa can cause gastrointestinal issues, and it may interact with certain medications. Pregnant individuals should avoid moringa, and its safety in this population is not well-studied. When choosing a moringa supplement, it is important to consider factors such as organic sourcing, color, and country of origin. The FDA has not approved moringa as a dietary supplement, so it is crucial to buy from reputable sources and consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen.

"Expert-Approved Herbs and Diet Tips for Optimal Thyroid Health"

Incorporating certain herbs into one's diet can support thyroid health. Ashwagandha, ginger root, moringa, black cumin seeds, sage, licorice, and lemon balm have the potential to improve thyroid function. These herbs contain chemicals that are essential for active hormonal pathways in the system, regulate the production of thyroxine and triiodothyronine, decrease inflammation, protect the thyroid gland from oxidative damage, and inhibit TSH binding to the receptor.
