Where they differ
From the rowsThe best-graded row, grade C, is a meta-analysis of 649 people (2025) and reported mixed results.
The row that found an improvement ran longer (3 months) than the row that found no difference (2 weeks).
The row that found no difference is newer (2025) than the row that found an improvement (2021).
1 row with mixed results is left out of this comparison.
The rows
1 improved · 1 no difference · 1 mixed- DGrade DFasting glucose and HbA1c in prediabetes · Improved
RCT · n 65 · 2021 · Adults with prediabetes
2,400 mg/day (6 capsules) · 12 weeks
Fasting glucose and HbA1c moved in a favourable direction with moringa and rose with placebo; gut bacteria, liver and kidney markers did not differ.
- DGrade DBlood glucose, blood pressure and lipids in type 2 diabetes · No difference
RCT · n 40 · 2025 · Adults with type 2 diabetes in a rural Nigerian community
20, 40 or 60 g of leaves a day (three groups) vs meals without moringa · 14 days
Fasting glucose did not differ between groups; after adjusting for starting values, no measured outcome differed at the end. The authors described marginal improvements that were not dose-dependent.
- CGrade CWeight, lipids, glucose and blood pressure (pooled) · Mixed
Meta-analysis · n 649 · 2025 · Adults in 9 randomized trials (12 arms)
Varied across trials · At least 2 weeks
No significant effect on most outcomes; diastolic blood pressure fell modestly (SMD −0.41) but the authors did not consider the effect robust.
