Moringa oleifera is a widely distributed plant of the Moringaceae family. Nearly, every portion of this tree has extraordinary qualities for food, medicine, or other industrial uses. This study is to gather an overview of global research, pharmacological activity, phytochemical and medicinal updates of M. oleifera, and give insight into its industrial and phytopharmaceutical uses to aid exploration. Moringa species have long been recognized for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and anti-hyperglycaemic properties. Most of their biological action is due to their high presence of flavonoids, glucosides, and glucosinolates. Furthermore, after analyzing the current M. oleifera research, we conclude that the majority of current research focuses on the plant's leaves and seeds, and the most concerned feature of M. oleifera is focused on its therapeutic potential. Yet more research is required to understand the molecular processes underlying its many features.
