What Is Noni Juice?
Traditional Noni Juice is one of Nature’s greatest gifts, and one the it’s most powerful antioxidants. Traditional Noni Juice is rich in bioflavonoids which enhance vitamin C absorption and help maintain collagen and capillary walls. They also aid in the body’s defense system.
Antioxidants scavenge damaging free radicals and benefit virtually every organ and body system.
According to bioscientific investigations of noni fruit conducted over the past fifty years, ripe noni fruit, extracts of ripe noni fruit, and constituents found in ripe noni fruit demonstrate a host of biological activities.
Noni’s amazing properties are difficult to explain
solely based on contemporary science. Every day beneficial botanicals are discovered with healing powers that have yet to be understood. It may very well be that Noni’s healing powers will only be explained scientifically after many more years of research.
Following is a partial list of the phytochemical constituents in ripe noni fruit.

The Vitamins and Minerals are well represented as is fitting for a food supplement. One ounce of noni juice provides 10% of an adult’s daily requirement of Vitamin C. All of the others are less than 1% of a recommended daily intake. Noni does not eliminate the need for a regular therapeutic vitamin and mineral tablets. [Therapeutic means a supplement that is FDA certified for quantity and bioavailability of it's ingredients.]
