In villages from Sudan to the Himalayas, seeds of the Moringa Oleifera tree have been used for centuries to purify water. Recently, research has shown this inexpensive, plentiful, biodegradable substance capable of much more. BGW allows women waterpreneurs in Africa using our plant-based filter to treat and sell drinking water that is safer, less expensive, and more convenient than all competitors. We make money by professionally managing the supply chain of added-value Moringa products (organic Moringa oil and monofloral honey) from our African farming cooperatives to Western premium skin care brands.

Moringa has shown promise to help in the fight against every major disease. A 2016 study published in the Journal of Experimental Therapeutics and Oncology (Randriamboavonjy et al.) showed that a molecule found in moringa killed ovarian cancer cells cultivated in a lab. Moringa was found to have an antihypertrophic and antifibrotic effect associated with increased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-a and d, reducing cardiac triglyceride level, and enhancing plasmatic prostacyclins, all indications of increase heart health. In 2015, Waterman and colleagues published a study showing that feeding mice moringa extract could delay the start of diabetes. Mice eating a high-fat diet supplemented with 5% moringa concentrate improved glucose tolerance and insulin signaling and didn’t develop fatty liver disease. See more details at this website.
