In reply to Rohan Verma. the bioavailability enhancement claims for fermenred or enzymatically processed Shigru need stronger citations. most available research is on raw vs cooked, not processed extracts. tbh

disappointed the article doesnt address the heavy metal uptake issue Moringa is a hyperaccumularor and soil quality of the source matters enormously for safety.

@Smita added Shigru pods (drumsticks) fresh to my Sambar every week and the anti-inflammatory effect on my joint markers was measurable at 3-month labs.

for the protein content claims is the amino acid profule of Shigru complete (all essential amino acids) or does it need complementary protein sources?

In reply to Rebecca Kumar. That's actually worth knowing — fresh leaves do retain more heat-sensitive nutrients but the article's point about standardization probably applies here too. With powder you at least know roughly what you're getting per gram. If you're using fresh, the maturity of the leaf matters a lot for nutrient density.

@Deepak is fresh Shigru leaf more bioavailable than the dried powder? the article focuses on the powder but I have access to fresh leaves.
