Weight Loss & Metabolism Boost

Caffeine in green tea offers a gentle energy lift, perfect for focus without jitters. Moringa is caffeine-free but nourishes the brain with amino acids and iron. Choose green tea for alertness and moringa for calm vitality.

Moringa contains plant compounds with antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Green tea also supports immune strength but offers fewer vitamins. So, moringa is a winner when it comes to stronger immunity.
