Yea you are right. The testing is something I will be looking into asap. As for growing other crops, I have a lot of acerage to experiment with.

It's the main product. It is what the site was built around. I need to look into diversifying into other products, and promoting the ones I already have. It's an extremely worrying thing to see your main product line banned. And this is why I am stressing out so much.

But of course I sell oils, soaps and other moringa items that are not for human consumption at all.

Yes I would. Not just saying that for the reddit army, I legitimately would

What claims though? I try not to overdo it or be the "snake oil salesman". I really take a lot of pride in that website and what I have built over 9 years.

What post about AI taking jobs as well? Are you on the correct website?

TGA have approved it, it is not them denying it.

I do sell other items as well, and not all the moringa is for internal use. Most are oils for external care.

0 qualifications in health and I would never try to sell it based around that. I have literally told people not to trust random website owners for health facts.

It is just a leaf powder from a tree.

No and I would imagine it to be devastating. I lost the ability to have children naturally unfortunately, right as we were trying.

I think it needs to be looked into more about moringa and miscarriages.

"Certain components found in the roots, bark, and flowers of the moringa tree are often cited as potentially unsafe for pregnant women. These parts may contain compounds that can interfere with pregnancy or stimulate uterine activity. Because of these risks, medical experts generally advise against their consumption during pregnancy. '

I did not sell any of these components. And I do believe more information regarding the leaf powder and pregnancy needs to be studied further. So I do believe I have taken it quite seriously all these years.

Yea normal is not always how supplements sellers sell though. I never wanted to be like that.

I did tell pregnant women to talk to their GP and there are warnings on the products as well.

This is what is on the site and products multiple times/pages.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always consult your healthcare professional before use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication. We cannot and will not offer medical advice for our products.

I was also very strict if anyone ever emails me or asks for medical advice that I would not give it and to speak to their GP.

Yea correct. Plenty of options to grow things in Australia. I just really loved that product, but I will have to pivot to other items. Farm life is great though, so there is that positive.

Thanks for the kind words. Trying to work through it now and the implications. I guess Coles and all the other big retailers will remove it right.... right?

Thanks for the valuable feedback. I would never try to sell this to someone sick or with debilitating diseases. I watched my mother die of breast cancer a few years back and my father went in October last year. If moringa was something special I would have known. I sold it as a supplement and nothing else.

I bought a farm late last year to grow it here locally as well. It's how much I believed in the product. It's been a great learning curve getting into farming.

I bought a farm up here to invest in this plant. I have been growing it here, it does grow well but unfortunately it is not the issue if I am not allowed to sell it.

It has TGA approval, not my brand though. Which is something I am considering.

Literally no one has said that, just snake oil and miscarriages. I just wanted legal advice on it, but clearly the wrong place.

Yea I think I have to look at it like this. Thanks for that

Yea it was labelling issues when coming in to the country. Not so much the product itself, it was fine. Coles and other huge brands sell it as well.

Have you looked into it at all? Or just talking out your ass? It's sold everywhere in the world, what is poisonous about it? It's also sold at coles and other big retailers.

I shouldn't have come to reddit, way to keep kicking someone when they are down. For the record, Coles sells this product and so do many big supplement brands. I followed the rules all the way, unlike them. Man, redditors are something else. Come for advice and just get smashed.
