The experimental group will drink twice daily 2 tea bags of Moringa oleifera tea (Kanhye brand) infused in 200 ml of hot water (during 5 minutes) for a period of 4 weeks. The locally available Moringa tea with the international certification by ECOCERT France will be used in this study.

Randomized Clinical Study Investigating the Effect of Moringa Oleifera Infusion on Bioclinical Parameters of Health

Change will be determined as the value at Day 29 with respect to Day 1 for Phase 1 (Four weeks) and for Phase 2 (four weeks)

Levels of blood anti-oxidants (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, total blood anti-oxidant capacity) will be monitored every fortnight during the 8-week clinical trial. C-Reactive Protein will also be measured.

This randomized clinical study will consist of two parallel groups with a crossover design.
There will be two arms as follows:
Intervention group [Drinking Moringa tea]
Control group [Drinking plain water].
Computer-generated random numbers will be used for simple randomization of subjects to either the experimental or control group.
With the cross over design, there will be two phases with an interchange of the groups during Phase 1 and 2 as follows:
Four-week Phase 1 - Group A drinking Moringa tea v/s Group B drinking plain water One-week washout Four-week Phase 2 - Group A drinking plain water v/s Group B drinking Moringa tea

A coding system will be used whereby each subject will be attributed a code upon signing the consent form. Only the Principal Investigator assisted by a second investigator will have access to the name-code list.
