The miracle story of Moringa and Zija

The story begins with one man viewing a Discovery Channel documentary on a plant grown in faraway lands. As he watched, his interest piqued when he observed people literally being sustained by consuming small amounts of this miracle plant.  So he began asking the right questions and the answers arrived from the likes of scientists, biochemists, and pharmacologists the world over. The man asking the questions was Ken Brailsford, a super achiever in the nutritional supplement industry, the founder of Zija and the father of herbal encapsulation.

With two other hugely successful nutrition companies to his credit, he knew this plant was a true nutritional miracle.
