A study published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines showed that moringa (Moringa peregrina) protects the liver from oxidative damage caused by acetaminophen. This was determined by researchers from the National Organization For Drug & Control Research in Egypt through an in vivo study in rats.
From these results, the researchers concluded that moringa leaves can improve oxidative damage caused by acetaminophen on the liver. This was possible due to the antioxidant potential of moringa.
