Soon afterward, Bruce was diagnosed with Covid-19. Both he and Amanda had very mild symptoms and recovered remarkably quickly, which they attributed mostly to their Moringa supplementation. This piqued their interest and after extensive research, they learned that Moringa offers powerful immune support and contains anti-viral and anti-oxidant properties, amongst a plethora of other benefits.

They realised the enormous healing potential of the product and felt so blessed by their discovery, that they were compelled to share the knowledge with as many people as possible and thus started their own company, Matana (it means “blessing” in Hebrew) Health Group, to make the benefits known to a wider audience and sell the wonderful Moringa products.

Supporting local industries is close to their hearts and the fact that the certified organic Moringa powder and Moringa juice is sourced from farms in Limpopo and creates jobs for many local people was an important consideration in starting their business. They are keen to export South African Moringa to the rest of the world in the future.
