Abstract

This paper is a review of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) based on its distribution, characteristics, nutritional values, commercialization opportunities, and conservation status. This unique species was historically found in India and is well-known due to its benefits traditionally in pharmaceuticals. Extracts and isolates from M. oleifera have demonstrated effectiveness against diabetes, cancer, hypertension, pain, infertility, and infections in preclinical research. Recently, the commercialization of M. oleifera has been widely accepted by other nations which raise the demand domestically and internationally. Thus, it is essential to implement a systematic harvesting approach even though this species is currently listed as ‘Least Concern’.
