Around the World of Antioxidants - Alpha-Carotene & Beta-Carotene in Moringa

Carotenoids are group of colorful red, orange, yellow pigments which are naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables. In Carotenoid family, there are six important members to human body - Alpha-carotene, Beta-carotene, Beta-cryptoxanthin, Lutein, Lycopene, and Zeaxanthin.

Among those six important members of Carotenoid family, Lycopene is the only one not available in Moringa tree. Lycopene is found in red fruits like carrots, tomatoes, watermelons, papayas, but not in straberries, and cherries. Lycopene is commonly existed in our diet, but it is not a essential nutrient for human body.

Moringa leaves contain 3 to 5 times more Beta-carotene than carrots (ounce per ounce). About 7 to 8 mg of Beta-carotene are available in 100 g (3 oz) fresh Moringa leaves, and 18.9 mg Beta-carotene in 100 g dried Moringa leaves. There is about 6.78 mg Alpha-carotene in fresh Moringa leaves (100g) , and 1.7 g fat. 2.3g of fat is found in 100g dried Moringa leaves also. Fat makes Alpha-carotene and Beta-carotene to be absorbed by body easily.

Alpha-carotene and Beta-carotene convert to Vitamin A in our body, and Beta-carotene is almost double effective than Alpha-carotene in their converter ability. Beta-carotene also are more common than Alpha-carotene. If you see a fruit or vegetable has more orange color, it contains more Beta-carotene than Alpha-carotene.

Alpha-carotene and Beta-carotene are both play antioxidant role in our body. In this role, Alpha-carotene is more effective than Beta-carotene. Antioxidants can remove destructive free radicals from our body before they harm our body tissue. Antioxidants can also stabilize free radicals and repair damaged cells.

Around the World of Antioxidants - What are Antioxidants?

What is the meaning of Antioxidant? The prefix ‘Anti’ means Against. Oxidant is a substance which can oxidizes another substance. Antioxidants are agents to fight against oxidation.

We can see oxidation happens everywhere in our life. You can see rust on cans, metals, even fruits or vegetables after few weeks in refrigerator. That is because individual cell start to directly contact with air, oxygen molecules start to breakdown the surfaces.

Oxidation also happens in human body. Our body is oxidizing every minute when we eat and breath. The by-product of oxidation in human body is called Free Radical.

Free radicals are molecules, those molecules either have too less or too much electron, so in order to stabilize themselves, they have to borrow a electron or give extra electron to other molecules by attacking. This chain reactions cause our body cell destruction, speed up aging process, and several diseases like cataracts, cancer, heart problems.

The functions of antioxidants are to fight with free radicals by binding with harmful molecules to decrease their destructive power, and to help to repair damages already sustained by cells.

Our body can produce certain antioxidant enzymes. Most well known ones are Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Glutathione.

Most of antioxidants can be found in foods. Most of dark green leafy vegetables, fruits like grape, Moringa, acai, tea all contain various antioxidants.

Moringa also call Moringa Oleifera or Malunggay in Philippines. It is tree has been grown in tropical countries like India, Thailand, Africa, Philippines for more than 2,000 years. Every parts of Moringa tree are mother nature’s best gift to living being on earth. Local people have been enjoyed Moringa as food and medicine.

Vitamin D is actually a single term for several hormones that are stored mainly in the liver and also in fat and muscle tissue. It is essential for the absorption of calcium into the bone and for normal bone growth.

Most of us may be not aware that we do not have enough Vitamin D in our body to maintain healthy bones and optimal health.

What cause Vitamin D deficiency in our body?

1. People with strict vegetarian diets. Most of the natural sources of Vitamin D are animal-based. Certain fishes, fish oils, egg yolks, cheese, and beef liver contain Vitamin D.
2. People allergy to milk - milk provides us Vitamin D also.
3. People who use sun screen very often. Our skin produces Vitamin D by directly exposure to the sunlight. Sunscreen, even at SPF15, blocks more than 90% of the sun’s rays used to produce this vital vitamin.
4. People live in far North or far South, who are under exposed to the sunlight.
5. People with dark skin. The pigment melanin reduces the skin’s ability to make Vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure.
5. People with Magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is required to convert Vitamin D into its active form.
6. People with low cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is requied to convert sunlight to Vitamin D in the skin.
7. People with over weight. Vitamin D is extracted from the blood by fat cells, altering its release into the circulation. People with a body mass index of 30 or greater often have low blood levels of Vitamin D.
8. People with kidney problem. Kidney cannot convert Vitamin D to its active form. As people age, their kidneys are less able to convert Vitamin D to its active form.
9. People with certain medical problems, including Crohn’s disease, cystic fibrosis, and Celiac disease, can affect their intestine’s ability to absorb Vitamin D from the food.


The current FDA’s recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamin D is:
1. 200 IU (international unit) per day for children and adult < 50 years old.
2. 400 IU per day for adults > 50 years old.
3. 600-800 IU per day for the elderly >70 years old.

Many experts in the field believe the current government guidelines for Vitamin D intake are inadequate for most people. The number should be twice that.

2. Eating oily fish like salmon, trout, sardines and catfish.
