Noni Benefits Could Tahitian Noni Morinda Citrifolia Improve My Health

In this article, we take a look at a popular fruit juice offered by a leading network marketing company, Tahitian Noni International. Tahitian Noni International, which was started in 1996, markets noni fruit juice through network marketing. Since this company has been one of the most popular recently we'll assume that it has a adequate pay plan and mainly look at the benefits of the noni products.

Tatitian or Hawaiian Noni goes by other names including Indian Mulberry, Morinada, Hog Apple, Meng Koedoe, Mora De La India, Ruibarbarbo Caribe or Wild Pine. We're mainly interested in proven health benefits or warnings and any research that may be available from third-party agencies, e.g., those having no financial interests associated with the product.

Even with all the marketing and public relations, noni fruit juice has not been studied adequately in order to be able to make a scientific case for noni benefits. A 2006 study by Tahitian Noni International indicated that using noni may lower blood cholesterol levels, but the results met skepticism by experts.

In 2005, two scientific publications reported incidents of acute hepatitis caused by ingesting noni. This was, however, refuted by a study showing that noni juice 1) posed no toxicity issues in high dose consumption, and 2) contained low quantities of anthraquinones which could be toxic to liver tissue.

Tahitian Noni International promotes the fact that the product is listed in the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR). The edition it is included in is specifically for non-prescription drugs and dietary supplements vs. the one for presciption drugs. In contrast, several supplements manufacturing companies, although only one direct sales company, have products listed in the more widely used prescription drug edition. This is due to the fact that more scientific studies are generally available as well as specific manufacturing and quality standards needed in order to be in the more prestigious edition.

In a 2006 study, Brunswick Labs analyzed the anti-oxidant properties of juice products available from several mlm companies In their analysis, Brunswick used the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) score which is a commonly used measure of the antioxidant strength of foods and other chemical substances. Results of product testing indicated the following ORAC per serving scores for several popular products on the market are as follows:

* Xango one fl oz. ORAC 783

* Mona Vie one fl oz. ORAC 660

* g3 two fl. oz ORAC 922

* Tahitian Noni one fl. oz ORAC 340

Are there benefits from taking Tahitian Noni fruit juice? We consider this an individual choice. Most of the testimonials we've heard have to do with improvements in arthritis or healing of injured bones, muscle and tissue. Will noni fruit juice cure all your ailments? Probably not, but we do know that each individual reacts differently to different products and substances, so it may be worth a try depending on specific needs even though this product has popular appeal vs. mainstream benefits.
