Actual Product
Moringa oleifera · 20% Saponins · Batch SVB/MO/2605-01The "Miracle Tree" — a nutrient-dense leaf concentrated into a standardised functional ingredient
Moringa oleifera — known as the Drumstick Tree or "Miracle Tree" — is one of the most nutrient-dense botanicals used in Ayurveda and modern nutrition. Its leaves carry an unusually broad profile of bioactives in a single material: saponins, isothiocyanates (notably moringin), glucosinolates, and polyphenols such as quercetin and kaempferol glycosides, alongside chlorogenic acid.
SV Botanica supplies Moringa Dry Extract standardised to 20% saponins by gravimetric assay — the representative batch (SVB/MO/2605-01) assays at 21.52%. The extract is processed from cultivated Moringa oleifera leaves at our GMP-certified facility in India, then screened by ICP-MS for heavy metals and a full USP microbial panel before release.
A defining commercial advantage of this grade is its 92% water solubility, which opens up functional beverages, drink mixes, effervescent tablets, and liquid formats in addition to capsules, tablets and superfood blends. Kosher certification is standard, and organic-certified material is available on request.
We supply supplement brands, superfood formulators, functional-beverage makers, and Ayurvedic manufacturers across Europe, the USA, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Every batch is backed by a Certificate of Analysis and full export documentation — start a conversation with our team via the quote request form.
Key compounds driving Moringa's functional profile
The standardised marker compound, quantified gravimetrically. Contribute to lipid-binding and the antioxidant activity that anchors the CoA specification.
Moringin and related isothiocyanates are the most studied Moringa actives — linked to NF-κB modulation and metabolic effects.
Sulphur-containing precursors that convert to isothiocyanates, underpinning Moringa's anti-inflammatory positioning.
Quercetin and kaempferol glycosides drive high DPPH radical-scavenging capacity for antioxidant and immune formulations.
A phenolic acid associated with glucose handling and metabolic-health applications in research models.
Native Moringa leaf is naturally rich in vitamins A, C and E and minerals such as iron and calcium, complementing its superfood positioning.
Evidence from clinical studies and ethnopharmacological research
Isothiocyanates and chlorogenic acid have been associated with improved insulin sensitivity and reduced fasting blood glucose — a key rationale for Moringa's use in metabolic-health supplements.

| Leaf powder (non-extracted) | Dried Moringa oleifera leaf, milled to mesh | Botanical identity by TLC; heavy metals and microbial panel | On enquiry, subject to lot; phytosanitary certificate usually required |
| Cut leaf (tea-bag cut) | Dried leaf, tea-bag cut or cut & sifted | Identity, moisture, foreign matter | On enquiry; for teas and in-house extraction |
A marker percentage without its assay method is not a specification; ask for the method and the plant part on every quotation.

Saponins are quantified gravimetrically — the industry-standard method for total saponins. HPLC profiling of specific markers (e.g. isothiocyanates or flavonoid glycosides) is available on request. A current Certificate of Analysis (CoA SVB-COA-MO-0526-01), MSDS, and allergen/Non-GMO declarations are issued with every batch. Specifications for 5%, 10% and water-soluble grades available on request.
From cultivated leaf to standardised extract — traceable, tested, certified
Raw Material Sourcing: Leaves are harvested from cultivated Moringa oleifera in India, authenticated at source and selected for a consistent active profile. Cultivated origin — declared on the Certificate of Analysis — supports traceability and batch-to-batch consistency compared with mixed wild-collected material.
Manufacturing & Testing: Leaves are dried, extracted, concentrated and standardised in GMP-certified, FSSAI-licensed facilities. Each batch runs through a full QC battery — gravimetric saponin assay, TLC fingerprint, heavy-metals ICP-MS, and a complete USP microbiological panel (USP <2021> and <2022>) — before release. Standardisation locks saponins to the target grade.
Documentation: Every shipment comes with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA SVB-COA-MO-0526-01), MSDS, Allergen Declaration, BSE/TSE-free statement, Non-GMO affidavit, and Country of Origin Certificate. Kosher certification is standard; Halal, FSSC 22000 and organic certification are available on request.

Full compliance for global B2B supply
Key information for global product registration and labelling
Moringa oleifera leaf has a history of food use and is accepted as a food supplement in several member states, though some authorities apply national scrutiny — buyers should confirm status before market entry. Where permitted, labelling must comply with Regulation (EU) 1169/2011, with heavy-metal compliance documented per batch.
Marketed as a dietary ingredient under DSHEA (21 CFR Part 111). No pre-market approval is required for dietary supplements, but importer facility registration with the FDA is needed. Heavy-metal limits (e.g. California Prop 65) make ICP-MS-tested material essential. Structure-function claims require substantiation and FDA notification.
A well-established food and Ayurvedic botanical, FSSAI-relevant for supplement use under the FSS (Health Supplements) Regulations 2022. Widely accepted in the Middle East (Halal grades), Southeast Asia, and other markets that recognise Moringa as a superfood, subject to local heavy-metal limits.
