Best Noni contains pure dried Morinda citrifolia
fruit, commonly known as “Noni.” The Morinda citrifolia plant has a long
herbal history in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, and is considered
beneficial for a wide variety of uses. Noni fruit, recognized as a valuable
food source and approved by the U.S. government since World War II, contains
vitamin C1 and other nutritious substances.
NONI: Traditional Folk Remedy
Morinda citrifolia is well known throughout tropical regions of Asia, the
South Pacific and the Caribbean. There are no fewer than 40 common names for
this remarkable plant. In the South Pacific, the fruit of Morinda citrifolia
goes by the name “Noni.” Highly esteemed for its nutritional value, Noni was
approved by the U.S. government during World War II as a food for American
soldiers in the Pacific. Noni is also a prized traditional folk remedy among
Pacific island cultures and is considered useful for a wide variety of
ailments.2,3
Pharmaceutical research has uncovered a number of active constituents in the
roots, leaves and fruit of Morinda citrifolia. Noni fruit, in addition to
vitamin C, contains antibacterial compounds and beneficial polysaccharides.4,5
Benefits
Stimulates Cell Repair
Noni fruit has recently been found to contain a substance given the name
“proxeronine” which is believed to increase levels in the body of an
alkaloid called “xeronine.” Preliminary unpublished investigations indicate
that xeronine is vital for the regeneration of cell structures and
maintenance of cellular functions. This intriguing discovery may in large
measure explain Noni’s wide range of reported beneficial effects.
Supports Immune Function
Anecdotal clinical reports on the use of Noni fruit include improvement in
the body’s resistance to viruses, yeast, fungi, and bacteria. These
observations are supported by current research studies performed at the
University of Hawaii.5 Noni fruit extracts showed an
ability to enhance the immune response in mice.
Additional reports on the current uses on Noni which coincide with the
traditional uses include:
1) Effective against fatigue,
2) Support for joint function and control of the inflammatory response,
3) Maintenance of normal blood-sugar levels.
Noni is safe and free of side effects. As a supplement, it should be taken
on an empty stomach to prevent breakdown by stomach acid of the natural
enzymes present in Noni fruit.
