Research Proves Iridoids Are Potent Phytochemicals
Noni Plant, Flowers & Roots Contain Large Amounts of Iridoids
Are all Noni’s Created Equal? Emphatically – No!
You”re investing in your health and desire to obtain the greatest return on the investment of your time, money and effort. Interestingly scientists have shown that not all Noni’s are created equal. There are inferior Noni juices and Noni products, and then there are those that are superior tried and true Noni products such as the Tahitian Noni Juices and products offered on this site.
Researchers who recently conducted studies found that geographical factors most definitely affect the plant. Studies demonstrated that ‘great variation’ exists among the various genres of Noni with Polynesian Noni such as that being offered in Tahitian Noni juice outstripping other Noni products in terms of the potency of their health benefits by a wide stretch. Why, you might ask, I know I’d ask. The answer is geography. Where the plant is grown directly affects the amount of phytochemicals (all naturally occurring) contained in the fruit. It’s well known that Noni is a medicinal plant with a long history of use as a folk remedy in many tropical areas. Many of us appreciate the herbs and concoctions that we’ve heard people used many years ago to heal this and that. I know my grandmother came up with things that as I think back I’m amazed, and if today’s medicine could bottle or market her remedies, they would. Here is such an example conveniently found in the Noni Fruit from Tahiti. It’s reported by the scientists who conducted the study that the plant parts, including the leaf, root and flower are full of major phytochemicals. Scientists reported that the presence of the phytochemicals is significant in understanding more fully the diverse medicinal benefits of drinking the supplement.
Today’s healthcare providers all espouse engaging in health practices that will optimize health. Drinking Tahitian Noni is one major step in the right direction. Health antioxidants, health proteins, iridoids, bioactives are all natural substances that will promote health and in many instances ease the severity of multiple ailments and conditions (see previous blogs). This healthy herb is full of super antioxidants. Users often report realizing health benefits after starting the Noni Habit with just 2 ounces/day. Treat yourself and start on your road to optimized health today.

Why are so many Medical Doctors standing behind Tahitian NoniJuice (TNJ)?Because there’s something to the claims – That’s why.
Can anyone say NOBEL PRIZE
Ponder This:
Dr. Anne Hirazumi Kim established that TNJ augments the release of nitric oxide from cells in the body.
Drs. Fuchgott, Murad, and Igano won the Nobel Prize for demonstrating that nitric oxide in low concentrations allows cells to communicate with each other.
Dr. Solomon believes "that when a person does not experience optimal health, it is because some cells are sick, and the cell-to-cell communication goes awry." 1
He and other MDs believe TNJ promotes cell repair at the cellular level.
I’ve minimized the technical jargon attached to their writings. The bottom line to those of us who drink to our health is ‘exponential Health’
1. Solomon, N, MD, PhD. NONI JUICE How Much, How Often, For What
They are the zappers…they reduce free radicals and boost the immune system
Help maintain a healthy HDL cholesterol
Increase energy
Promote heart health
They’re stable resulting in their resisting degradation usually encountered during processing and storage. We all worry about how much nutritional value is still in the food once it gets to our table.
We are the captain’s of our fate so to speak. We can build our immune systems or ignore them and hope for the best. Natural antioxidants promote antioxidants health; A proactive approach to health is a wise investment in your most important asset – yourself.

ATHLETIC ENDURANCE/RECOVERY and Research
1. TNJ and Athletic Endurance This study by Tahitian Noni scientists shows people who drink TAHITIAN NONI® Juice experience a 21% increase in athletic performance, due to high antioxidant activity. Athletes who drank TAHITIAN NONI® Juice were able to run longer, faster and with more endurance.* http://www.academicjournals.org/jmpr/PDF/pdf2008/July/Palu%20et%20al.pdf
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH
1. Literature review and recent advances This is a study conducted by Tahitian Noni scientists outlining the history, research and benefits behind TAHITIAN NONI® Juice. The study includes references to Dr. Ralph Heinicke’s groundbreaking research. A great overview of everything we now know about the noni fruit. http://www.chinaphar.com/1671-4083/23/1127.pdf
2. A complete review of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice Noni has been used by Tahitians for thousands of years, but only recently has it become a popular item for mainstream consumers. This popularity has raised several questions about the noni fruit, and in this study Tahitian Noni scientists conduct several tests to verify that the noni fruit and TAHITIAN NONI Juice are, in fact, safe for consumption. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1750-3841.2006.00164.x
3. Maintaining joint health Researchers study the effects of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice on neck and joint pain, and find that those who combine TAHITIAN NONI® Juice with traditional therapy experience a significant decrease in pain. http://www.ajol.info/viewarticle.php?id=29710
4. Improving quality of life for postmenopausal women Tahitian Noni International scientists study the effects of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice on postmenopausal women. Researchers study the effects of the juice as it relates to bone density, circulation and other postmenopausal issues. http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089%2Facm.2004.10.737
5. Improving quality of life for cancer patients Cancer patients were given freeze-dried noni in capsule form to test its effects on their quality of life. Noni has been reported to increase function, and it has even been reported to have anti-cancer activity. http://www.isoqol.org/2005ConfAbstracts.pdf
Dr. Ralph Heinicke , a noted American biochemist, had a potentially groundbreaking revelation while studying pineapple enzymes. He realized that a certain alkaloid called Xeronine may play a key role in encouraging proper cell function and growth in the human body. Xeronine is formed in the intestine, where a chemical reaction occurs between Proxeronine and Proxeronase . Dr. Heinicke realized that these two substances in the reaction exist in abundance in the Noni fruit..
