It’s no secret that there are certain types of foods that provide significant health benefits to the human body.  Most of us know about super-foods like kale, salmon and blueberries, but have you heard of the plant called the Moringa Leaf?  Thanks to our good friend Maria from the Beauty Boutique at Shopper’s Drug Mart, we’ve learned some pretty amazing things about this versatile plant.

  • It’s got anti-aging properties when used in beauty products such as the moisturizer mentioned below
  • It’s packed with vitamins such as B2, B6 and riboflavin as well as potassium, vitamin A, vitamin E, and magnesium
  • Powders made from its crushed leaves are packed with protein
