The Moringa Tree is among the important herbs in recovery and nutritional supplements for the body. Numerous speculative and medical studies have shown that leaf powder and extracts of Moringa leaves have the impact of protecting cells in the direction of avoiding oxidative damage, the impacts of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti- gastric ulcer, high blood pressure lowering, immune enhancement, blood sugar stabilization and dyslipidemia policy.

Moringa leaves contain active ingredients with high antioxidant residential or commercial properties such as acid cholorogenic, rutin ... with lipid-lowering effect.
The Moringa leaves have long been used as a sort of veggies and family medicine. According to many research studies, most parts of the Moringa tree are of value for use, in which the Moringa leaves consist of 4 times the amount of Vitamin A compared to carrots, 4 times more calcium than milk and 3 times more iron compared with spinach, 7 times the amount of Vitamin C compared to oranges, 3 times the amount of potassium compared to bananas and twice protein compared with yogurt.
Master Kha stated: "A few years earlier, from the job on" Building a design to establish the Moringa tree "in the Seven Mountain area, Moringa trees were popularly planted in Tri Ton and Tinh Bien districts. In fact, it is hard to transport and preserve fresh Moringa leaves due to the fact that they are rapidly withered and damaged if there are no appropriate storage conditions. Therefore, the quantity of Moringa trees planted in Tinh Bien and Tri Ton has actually also lessened. So the immediate need is to research study and produce Chum ngay filtered tea in order to make the most of fresh materials available and add to the tourist of the province".
In 2015, An Giang Biotechnology Center performed a research study on "Research on production of Filtered Moringa tea" in the laboratory and according to the outcomes of customer feedbacks, Filtered Moringa tea are capable to be produced on a large and commercialized scale. In 2016, the research study group continued "Researching to perfect and commercialize Filtered Moringa Tea items". Already, HERBAGI Moringa Tea (Chum ngay tea) has been recognized by the Ministry of Health as a health protection food.
Moringa trees are easy-to-grow roots, do not need a lot of watering water, are suitable for sunny weather condition, not choosy land and have brief harvest. When rooted trees are strong enough, they start digging holes in the soil with plus size and two times as deep as plastic pots, each hole is 1.5-2 meters apart. Moringa trees at 3 months old start to be harvested, 60cm tall trees begin to be cut at the top of tree, after 6 months, when the tree has 2 meter tall, it will be the main harvest, balancing from 500 grams to 900 grams of fresh leaves per tree per month.
An Giang province has a strategy to focus on building a material location of Moringa trees on 2,000 ha in 9 communes of 2 districts in Seven Mountain location, gradually making use of 6,000 ha of low reliable forest land. Thereby to increase the economic worth from 2 million VND/ha/year to 20 million VND/ha/year, adding to producing jobs and high earnings for rural labourers.
Moringa leaves are now utilized as a beverage for protein and mineral supplement. Leaf extract is effective versus skin infections, which controls blood glucose in case of diabetes.
Previously there were lots of studies on the Moringa trees. The research group of the Center for Ginseng and Medicinal Materials in Ho Chi Minh City has preliminarily standardized basic materials (botanical, chemical) with the collection of Moringa leaves from Dong Nai province, An Giang province (Tri Ton district) and Ho Chi Minh city. The results revealed that the content of flavonoid (the primary compound) in young leaves was higher than in the old leaves and the flavonoid material determined according to quercentin requirements in leaves collected in Tri Ton district (An Giang) was 3.63%, higher than in samples collected in Ho Chi Minh city (3.26%) and Dong Nai (3.39%) province. Jelly extracts (in the forms of alcohol jelly extract, water jelly extract, raw flavonoid) from the gathered leaves in An Giang were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively according to biomarker compounds such as gallic acid, quercentin and isoquercitrin.
