ABSTRACT

This research was conducted to find whether the malunggay leaves extract was a good alternative ingredient in producing toothpaste.

A large number of reports on the nutritional qualities of Moringa now exist in both scientific and the popular literature. Different parts of this plant contain a profile of important minerals, and are a good source of protein, vitamins and etc. We analyze that using malunggay leaves can also contribute externally in our body.

Our final trials have resulted in a successful product. Using a juice maker, the researchers got the extract of the malunggay leaves by just few minutes. In a cup of juice, the researcher added a cup of baking soda and 1/3 cup of salt. They heated 12 teaspoons of glycerin and added the mixture until it takes on slightly paste-like texture. This mixture can change ones new perspective in healthier teeth.
