Moringa Oleifera e salute del cuore: un rimedio naturale per i moderni fattori di rischio cardiovascolare

Moringa Oleifera has garnered attention as a natural remedy for cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, elevated cholesterol, and oxidative stress. Moringa exhibits antioxidants, cholesterol-improving, and blood pressure-lowering effects in animal studies due to its abundance of bioactive compounds, including thiocarbamates, falvonoids, peptides, and isothiocyanates. These advantages are achieved by means of mechanisms such as direct vascular relaxation, ACE inhibition, and the enhancement of nitric oxide production. Nevertheless, the current clinical evidence is inconsistent and limited, despite the modest improvements in blood pressure and lipid profiles that were reported in early human studies. Variable bioavailibility and standardization issues pose obstacles to clinical application. In conclusion, Moringa Oleifera demonstrates significant potential as a natural supplement for cardiovascular health. However, additional rigorous human trials are required to verify its safety and efficacy.
