The article reviews the recent insights into the biochemical and medicinal applications of *Moringa oleifera* (MO). MO is a widely used medicinal plant with a rich content of bioactive compounds such as fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, polysaccharides, minerals, and vitamins. It has been studied for its ability to control glucose, lipids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, hormones, and antioxidants in various animal and human models. The plant's medicinal applications are diverse, including the management of diabetes, hypertension, inflammation, and immune disorders. The review highlights the nutritional and biochemical significance of MO, emphasizing its role in improving nutritional deficiencies, controlling blood glucose, managing lipids, enhancing protein synthesis, and providing essential minerals and vitamins. Additionally, MO has been shown to have antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer properties. The article also discusses the potential of MO in regenerative dentistry and osteoporosis management. Despite some limitations, the authors recommend further research on the molecular effects of MO to explore its full potential in both biochemical and molecular levels.The article reviews the recent insights into the biochemical and medicinal applications of *Moringa oleifera* (MO).
