but people don’t usually give attention to
this plant, but it can be a way to solve a
problem to have an affordable milk. In
fact, it is healthier than other drinks.
Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) has many
nutrients, especially vitamins and mineral.
Research study conducted by Dr. Lydia
Marero of the Food and Nutrition
Research Institute (FNRI) of the
Philippines revealed that one hundred
grams or one cup of cooked malunggay
leaves contain 3.1g protein, 0.6 g fiber,
96mg calcium, 29mg phosphorus, 1.7 mg
iron, 2,820 mg beta-carotene, 0.07 mg
thiamin, 0.14 mg riboflavin, 1.1 mg niacin
and 53 mg ascorbic acid (Vit. C). And it
has more vitamin c than oranges, more
calcium and protein than milk, more
vitamin A than carrots and more potassium
than bananas. It can greatly help in
preventing micronutrient deficiency in
regular consumption. Moringa Oleifera
have a lot of benefits other than it has
more calcium than milk. According to
Mbikay, that malunggay has Antioxidant
properties, Anti-nutrient properties,
Broad-spectrum physiological properties,
Anti-inflammatory properties, bioactive
phytochemicals, Therapeutic Potential
of M. oleifera in Dyslipidemia. In other
words, malunggay leaves has a therapeutic
potential to fight diseases. According to
Aravelo, that malunggay strengthen
immune system, heal inflamed joints and
tendons, relieve constipation, facilitate
healing and it can really help in production
of milk.It improve the health of the mother
(Manila Bulletin, 2014)
On an article published on 2016, that
malunggay leaves contain calcium,
potassium, protein, iron and vitamin A, B,
and C in which they contribute and
balance the cholesterol level in the body. It
is the same when Malunggay leaves were
tested to measure blood sugar levels. It can
also prevent malnutrition. It has many
health benefits that can improve one’s
health. (18 Proven Health Benefits of
Malunggay Leaves Tea, 2016)
As stated by Malunggay Herbal
Medicine, It is also called miracle tree
because of the primarily health benefits it
can give. Malunggay is easily seen outside
our household but it is safe for everyone to
consume it.
In fact, Malunggay is an
anti-infectious: antibacterial and
anti-Fungal as stated by The Department
of Biochemistry at the Indian Institute of
Science in Bangalore in late 1940’s as
cited in Medical Health Guide (2016),
have found that malunggay or Moringa
Oleifera leaves contain a
compound "pterygospermin" that is known
in medical science as having antimicrobial,
antibacterial, anti-fungal properties.
Futhermore an article published on
2015, to all about Moringa oleifera case
studies: the journey through motherhood
with moringa that women all over the
world strive to nourish themselves in
preparation for new life. To eat as many
moms have eaten for thousands of years,
incorporate Moringa in your journey to
motherhood. As Moringa is comparable to
other dark leafy greens, its incorporation
into a mother’s diet is safe for both her and
her child.
According to Aravelo (2013) as cited
by Enriquez (2017), malunggay strengthen
immune system,heal inflamed joints and
tendons, relieve constipation ,facilitate
healing and it can really help in production
of milk.It improve the health of the
mother.
As stated by Tilburt and Kaptchuk

herbal medicines are naturally occurring;
plant-derived substances with minimal or
no industrial processing thathave been
used to treat illness within local or regional
healing practices. Traditional herbal
medicines are getting significant attention
in global health debates.
Contrary to the research, Shah (2015)
explained that the taste is not too pleasant
and tends to produce a gag reflex on many
first time users.Moringa oleifera thickens
the blood. This is of note to those on
blood-thinning medication.The
consumption of Moringa oleifera includes
nausea, diarrhoea and heartburn. Reduce
the dose in this case Moringa oleifera is
not recommended for pregnant and
lactating mothers. The chemicals found in
the roots, flowers and the bark could cause
a contraction to occur on the uterus.
It is also mentioned on an article
published on 2014 that Parents are
advised, however to make sure that they
get Moringa oleifera from a reputable
source as just as Moringa oleifera can
provide massive benefits, moringa which
is contaminated with GMO (genetically
modified organisms), pests or pesticides
can be equally harmful to your baby.
(Moringa Mavens)
The objective of this research is
to produce an alternative milk using
pulverized Moringa Oleifera that can be
easily seen outside our household. To help
families in rural areas to produce their own
alternative milk that can benefit their
children. To produce pulverized Moringa
that has more calcium than
commercialized milk. To help everyone to
save more money for not buying an
expensive commercialized milk
In Nhera 2, Food safety and
security, is considered to be the country’s
proneness to natural hazards and disasters
and with its booming population, it is
important for the people to be assured of
affordable and safe food on their table.
The researchers made a product that is
affordable and safe to every child who
cannot buy a commercialized milk. It’s
been an issue these days that some of the
goods will be more expensive, it means
that commercialized milk can have
possibility to be more expensive. In that
case it will be harder for those families in
rural places to buy healthy commercialized
milk that can result to give unhealthy milk
like coffee to their children because it is
cheaper that milk, drinks that do not
benefits to their bones and health. That
issue led the researchers to conduct a
research about Pulverized Moringa
oleifera to be alternative milk that contains
more calcium than milk that can benefit
their bones than drinking unhealthy drinks
The research try to seek to
contribute, Parents, it can save more
money in making substitute milk than
commercialized milk, it can make them
realized that it is healthier to give the
substitute milk that giving them coffee. It
can make them practical in terms of money
and ways to solve their problem.
Children, they can drink healthier drink. It
can make their bone much stronger
because Moringa Oleifera has 10 times
more calcium than milk. Family that lives
in rural places, they can make their
substitute milk using materials that can be
seen in their backyard, it can save their
money and effort in going to urban places
to buy commercialized milk. Researcher,
it can contribute to future research by
thinking of more ways to have a healthier
drink that can benefit children and
families. It can be their reference for their
future studies.
Statement of the Problem:
The major problem of the study is the
expensiveness of milk this study ought to
answer the following question...
Problem 1: Does the availability of milk
that is a source of calcium affect people
who lives in rural areas?
In the Philippines there are some
remote areas that doesn't have
supermarkets and drugstore nearby.
Residents in remote areas tends to uses
substitute milk that is not beneficial to
their body that causes weak immune
system.
Problem 2: Does the expensiveness of
milk affect people who doesn’t have
enough income?
We all know that the Philippines is
one of the most populated country in the
world and due to the extreme population,
most of the Filipinos doesn't have enough
money to sustain their children needs. One
of the major cause of malnutrition in the
Philippines is that they can't afford milk
due to the expensiveness of milk products.
Problem 3: Does calcium is important in
children’s body?
People needs a right amount of
calcium in their bodies to have a stronger
and healthier teeth and bones. Lack of
calcium in children can cause their bodies
to not function well. Lack of calcium can
cause hypocalcaemia as they age. Lack of
calcium in children can cause malnutrition
and malabsorption. It's important to have
the right amount.
Methodology
The Method that we used in our
research is Quantitative, we will have an
exploratory research whether the Moringa
Oleifera is safe for human body as an
herbal tea or taking it as a milk and if it is
possible that it can be an alternative milk.
The technique that the researchers
used in our research is experimental. The
experiments included steps and
procedures. First the researchers need to
get some of the Moringa Oleifera or
Malunggay that can be easily seen in your
