However, verylittle data exists on the level of consumption of thesefoodsupplements. The objective of thisstudywas to assess the level of knowledge and consumption of thesetwoproducts in six communes of the Abidjan district.

The studyrevealedthat 100% of the householdssurveyedknew about Moringa, while 43.5% knew about Spirulina.71.75%ofthe householdssurveyedhadalreadyconsumedtheseproducts. For 90.4% of the householdssurveyed, theseproducts are consumed in powderform. And the reasons for consumptionwere due in 72.84% of cases to healthproblems. However, 45.40% of household respondentssaidtheyhadexperienceddiscomfort as a result of consuming Moringa. This studyreveals the effectiveness of the dietary use of Moringa and/or Spirulina in the householdssurveyed.
