Moringa tea is becoming increasingly popular as a natural weight loss aid, both in North America and the UK. Pure moringa tea has a very "green" and earthy flavor, similar to the taste of nettle tea. Because of its leaf-like flavor, it is often sweetened with honey; however, if you are drinking Moringa tea mainly because you want to lose weight, adding honey or any other high-calorie sweetener is not a smart move. Luckily, there are tons of flavors that pair well with moringa, so those dieters who find the taste of pure moringa tea too earthy can still reap the potential weight loss benefits of moringa while keeping your taste buds happy.

However, there have been a couple of animal studies that have produced promising results. One such study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, demonstrated that a moringa extract rich in isothiocyanates reduced weight gain, insulin resistance, and hepatic gluconeogenesis in mice.
For those who missed the memo, isothiocyanates are biologically active breakdown products of glucosinolates, compounds that are abundant in Brassica vegetables like broccoli, kale
