Moringa (Moringa oleifera) has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in South Asia and Africa, for a variety of health purposes, including support for the structural system—encompassing bones, muscles, cartilage, and connective tissues. Traditionally, moringa leaves, pods, and seeds have been consumed to promote general vitality and to "strengthen the body," which may implicitly include support for bones and joints. Some folk practices use moringa for managing joint discomfort and as a nutritional supplement for bone health due to its high calcium and magnesium content.

Scientifically, moringa is valued for its dense nutritional profile, supplying vitamins and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin K, all of which are important for maintaining bone health. However, direct clinical evidence specifically demonstrating that moringa consumption improves or maintains the structural system (e.g., increasing bone mineral density or cartilage integrity in humans) is limited. Most of the available evidence is either in vitro, animal-based, or speculative, and there are no robust human trials confirming its efficacy for this specific system. Therefore, while moringa’s use for supporting the structural system is justified by tradition and plausible due to its nutrient content, it lacks strong scientific validation at this time.
