Moringa water treatment from BlueGoldWorks? The Moringa tree is also the phantom tree, ghost tree or the African Moringa. In Afrikaans, it is known as the sprokiesboom. The Herero tribe calls it Omutindi, and to the Ovambo tribe, it is known as Oluhongwe. It adapts to the hot, dry Namib Desert. Its succulent stem stores water and nutrients. These help it through the dry winter months, allowing it to multiply here in the hot Richtersveld as well. The silvery bark reflects the sun’s rays. The silvery bark is preventing the plant from overheating and the seeds release are only releases during summer and autumn. Which is when the most rainfall occurs in Namibia and northern South Africa. The wind then scatters these seeds, and so new trees grow, and the Moringa population multiplies.
Blue Gold Works’ prototype water filters have cleaned over 72,000 liters of polluted water in 3 communities in Africa to standards exceeding United States EPA requirements. The filter is made from Moringa seed powder, a byproduct of pressing Moringa seeds for the high value Moringa oil. Combined with functionalized sand, the filter can produce each day clean, safe drinking water for a family of 6 without electricity. Using several of the simple to use, effective Blue Gold Works water filters, our waterpreneurs can provide affordable, convenient drinking water for neighbors. Revenues earned by the waterpreneuers allows them to afford education and clean water in the community reduces water borne illnesses. Find even more info at Moringa oil.
In villages from Sudan to the Himalayas, seeds of the Moringa Oleifera tree have been used for centuries to purify water. Recently, research has shown this inexpensive, plentiful, biodegradable substance capable of much more. BGW allows women waterpreneurs in Africa using our plant-based filter to treat and sell drinking water that is safer, less expensive, and more convenient than all competitors. We make money by professionally managing the supply chain of added-value Moringa products (organic Moringa oil and monofloral honey) from our African farming cooperatives to Western premium skin care brands.

Moringa has shown promise to help in the fight against every major disease. A 2016 study published in the Journal of Experimental Therapeutics and Oncology (Randriamboavonjy et al.) showed that a molecule found in moringa killed ovarian cancer cells cultivated in a lab. Moringa was found to have an antihypertrophic and antifibrotic effect associated with increased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-a and d, reducing cardiac triglyceride level, and enhancing plasmatic prostacyclins, all indications of increase heart health. In 2015, Waterman and colleagues published a study showing that feeding mice moringa extract could delay the start of diabetes. Mice eating a high-fat diet supplemented with 5% moringa concentrate improved glucose tolerance and insulin signaling and didn’t develop fatty liver disease. Find more info at this website.
