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 Preliminary unpublished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.
