Description
Mert Keles and co-authors report a 2026 rat study on whether moringa leaf extract can ease gum disease. Forty male rats were split into five groups, including healthy controls and groups with induced gum disease around the lower molars. Diseased rats received moringa by mouth for four weeks at one of three daily doses. Blood tests measured inflammation signals and markers of cell damage from oxidation.
Rats on the two higher doses showed lower inflammation signals and stronger natural antioxidant defenses than untreated diseased rats. Tissue samples under the microscope also looked healthier in those groups. Kidney and liver blood tests showed no clear harm from the extract. Animal results do not prove benefit in people, but they support careful follow-up work on dose and safety.
