Therapeutic and Nutraceutical Horizons of Moringa oleifera Lam.: A Comprehensive Review of Bioactive Mechanisms in Chronic Disease Modulation
Abstract
Moringa oleifera Lam., an indegeneous fast growing deciduous tree of the Himalayan foothills in northern India, has received increasing attention for its excellent nutritional?and medicinal characteristics. This tropical species belongs to the Moringaceae family and is full of health-promoting nutrients, protein, vitamin A, important minerals, amino acids and various phenolics including powerful?antioxidants, flavonoids and isothiocyanates. In recent years, its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogen, hepatoprotectant, neuroprotective, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities have also?been established by scientific studies. These therapeutic effects are mainly attributed to?its wide range of phytochemical contents, particularly flavonoids and isothiocyanates. In this integrative review, we present current scientific reports on the pharmacological effects and their mechanisms of M. oleifera, with special attention to chronic diseases including inflammation-related conditions, diabetes, neuro?degenerative disorders, and cancer. These findings highlight its perspective as a natural remedies long-term care and treatment of some?chronic human diseases.
