Why Are People Going Crazy for This Plant?

What Is This Amazing Plant that People Are Crazy About?
None other than noni fruit, a plant that grows on small evergreen trees in tropical regions of the world. Used in traditional food and medicine by Polynesians for over 2000 years, noni fruit is known to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antitumor, pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and immune enhancing effects.2 After a lot of searching, we have found a high quality, raw/unpasteurized noni juice that meets our high expectations and maintains the qualities so many people find beneficial.
What Does Modern Science Have to Say?
Noni has finally been getting the scientific attention it deserves, with many studies confirming what tropical islanders have known for millennia:
Antibacterial
Polynesians have been traditionally using noni to treat infectious disease due to its antibacterial power.3 Lab studies concur, finding that noni inhibited the activity of such bacteria as E coli and H pylori.4
Antitumor
Researchers at the University of Hawaii reported the antitumor activity of noni juice in terms of prolonging the life of animal subjects with lung cancer by up to 75%.5 Encouraged by these findings, these same researchers later performed another study, conclusively attributing tumor growth suppression to the immune-stimulating effects of noni.6
Pain Relief (Analgesic)
Researchers have found that noni has pain relieving and tranquilizing potential. 7 An extract of the fruit showed “significant, dose-related, central analgesic activity [which] validates the traditional analgesic properties of this plant.” 7 Noni fruit was even found to be 75% as strong as morphine, while being non-addictive and side effect free.7
Anti-inflammatory
One study proved that the anti-inflammatory effects of noni juice surpassed the effect of Celebrex, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is taken for pain and particularly arthritis.8 The key is that noni juice has stronger results – without side effects.
Anti-diabetic
Research has shown that noni fruit has anti-diabetic effects in that it lowered blood glucose levels, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and significantly decreased LDL (bad) cholesterol. 9 The conclusion was that noni “can be employed as a functional health food for type 2 diabetes management.9
Immunity
Antioxidants fight free radicals that lead to aging and disease and noni juice has been proven to have significant antioxidant activity.10 Plus a 1oz serving of our noni juice has 20% of your RDA of vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects the immune system and helps to fight off infections.11
One Noni Juice Stands Out from All the Rest
100% pure and certified organic, our Noni Juice by Hawaiian Herbal Blessings is harvested and traditionally processed on the island of Maui. It is unpasteurized (unlike other noni juices out there), traditionally fermented and cold pressed from only certified organic, grade "A" ripe noni fruit. This traditional processing helps maximize the potentially active microorganisms and beneficial components for which noni is known. There are no preservatives, colors, water, sugar, fruit juice concentrates or other flavors added.
Noni fruit typically has a very powerful pungency in its taste and smell, which has been compared to a very strong and tangy cheese. This noni juice is very mild compared to others. Although it still retains some of the characteristic pungency and odor of the fresh fruit, it has a pleasant subtle fruitiness with floral undertones, and much of the typical noni "bite" is absent.
