Brief Summary:
Studies to date on the effects of Moringa oleifera in diabetes and anemia and animal studies that examine the utility of moringa for increased milk and litter yield are of small scale however high-quality large-scale placebo or case-controlled clinical trials to define the impact on infants of moringa leaf powder consumption by breastfeeding mothers are lacking Moringa has a traditional and agricultural history of use as a galactagogue despite this and its incorporation into products such as Mothers Milk Tea and placement on NIH LactMed Lactation Database this property has not been studied in large clinical trials nor in populations dependent on breastmilk such as in Kisumu Kenya This study will improve and add to existing knowledge of moringas effect on human breastmilk and will provide novel information on the effect of moringa supplementation to lactating mothers on their infants intestinal inflammation and health After trial registration the study was modified to include infant follow up to 18 months for some measures and the childrens groups were removed Although the study was modified to an 18 month follow up the data were not able to be collected
Further understanding of the acceptability of moringa leaf in a staple food of porridge and more the effect of moringa supplementation on infant and childhood growth nutrition and intestinal and systemic inflammation may translate in the future to the cultivation of moringa at the community or household level as an effective resource for the improvement of childhood undernutrition
