IMMUNE SUPPORT

Stress will significantly lower your immune system and has a huge
negative impact on optimal immune modulation. Studies investigating
the effect of Noni on enhanced immune health in animals and
humans, have concluded that Noni not only protects the adaptive
immune System, but Noni was shown to exert beneficial immunomod-
ulation effects in conditions involving inadequate immune responses.

In addition, Noni fruit is considered a superfood because it has a sig-
nificant amount of essential phytonutrients. It is rich in antioxidants,
Vitamins C, A, B and minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorus
and iron, that help boost overall well-being, fight infections, reduce
risk of allergies, revitalize cells and tissues and also help in detoxify-
ing the body.

PROVIDES ANTIOXIDANT AND DNA PROTECTION

A published study in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Preven-
tion, “Influence of Morinda citrifolia (Noni) on Expression of DNA
Repair Genes in Cervical Cancer Cells”, demonstrated that Noni
enhanced the expression of DNA repair genes by itself and in
combination with the chemotherapy drug, cisplatin.

A study was conducted on heavy smokers who drank 4 ounces of Noni
juice daily for one month. The study concluded that Noni juice reduces
lipid peroxidation-derived DNA adducts in heavy smokers. This means
that Noni juice mitigated the oxidative damage of DNA in current
heavy smokers.

REDUCES INFLAMMATION & PAIN

Noni has been renown for its effective treatment of many painful in-
flammatory conditions. Based on experience from traditional healers
who have been using Noni for thousands of years, researchers wanted
to investigate what, if any, anti-inflammatory properties were found in
the Noni fruit.

One study conducted with mice proved that the pain relieving effect
was comparable to hydrocortisone. The findings suggest that prepara-
tions of Noni fruits were, indeed, effective in decreasing pain and joint
destruction caused by arthritis.

Noni juice also successfully reduced the symptoms against rheumatoid
arthritis. The researchers concluded that the results indicated that Noni
juice may lead to be safe and effective for human rheumatoid arthritis
therapy.

Research in the Journal of Natural Products showed that fermented
Noni fruit juice contains “a new fatty acid, a new ascorbic acid deriva-
tive, and a new iridoid glycoside, a metabolite important for metabo-
lism,” along with 13 other compounds.

The study demonstrated detoxification benefits of Noni due to the
presence of enzymes known as quinone reductase. This suggests that
Noni juice can act as a strong anti-inflammatory food.

Another study also proved the success of Noni juice for pain. A joint
health trial was conducted using only Noni juice for osteoarthritis
patients. The volunteers drank an ounce of Noni three times a day for
90 days. The results were impressive. They included a reduction in
the duration of arthritis pain, including a 23.7 percent decrease
in the frequency in the number of days with severe pain, and 16.4 per-
cent decrease in pain severity. Patients also experienced an improved
psychological state and mood and improved mobility.

There is growing body of research that validates what the traditional
use of Noni juice for pain and inflammatory conditions. In fact studies
indicate Noni is so effective in reducing pain that it is 75 percent as
effective as morphine but without the toxic side effects.

INCREASES ENERGY & ENDURANCE

Studies have actually demonstrated that Noni has a profound impact
on physical endurance. One clinical trial was conducted with highly
trained middle and long distance runners who drank Noni juice twice
a day for three weeks. It is known that intense exercise increases the
production of damaging free radicals. At the end of the study, it was
found that the consumption of Noni juice significantly increased the
athletes’ physical endurance by enhancing the antioxidant activity.

In another study, a group of athletes drank Noni juice twice a day for
a month. They found that there was an improvement in endurance
due to Noni’s ability to mitigate exercise-induced muscle tissue dam-
age. Noni’s antioxidant and anti- inflammatory properties inhibited
the free radical production and inflammation caused by strenuous
exercise.

The third study found that Noni juice also has influence on oxygen
uptake during physical exertion. After cyclists drank Noni juice for two
weeks, their measurements showed increases in the average maximal
oxygen uptake and VO2 max ( VO2 max is the maximum rate of
oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise; that is,
exercise of increasing intensity.) Increased oxygen uptake translates
into greater energy and endurance.

These studies demonstrated that the Noni juice had a profound impact
on physical endurance by increasing stamina, reducing free-radical
production thus protecting against oxidative stress and potential DNA
damage, as well as enhancing aerobic performance by increasing
oxygen levels.

HELPS MAINTAIN HEALTHY CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

Noni also has high amounts of the mineral potassium. Adequate
potassium is necessary to lower high blood pressure, reduce symp-
toms of hypertension, maintain electrolyte balance and conserve
healthy blood vessels and circulation in the body. The wealth of
antioxidants and polyphenols in Noni juice also significantly lowers
many risk factors. Noni helps to improve “bad” LDL cholesterol levels,
C-reactive protein levels that are involved in inflammatory processes,
while raising “good” HDL cholesterol concentrations. This translates
into a reduced risk of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and other
cardiac ailments.

Nitric Oxide is a very special molecule that plays a major role for car-
diovascular health because it is a vasodilator (or dilating of the blood
vessels). This is critical for reducing hypertension. Noni was able to
stimulate the body’s ability to increase the production of nitric oxide.
A study at the University of Hawaii demonstrated that Noni juice
significantly enhanced nitric oxide production and encouraged the
opening of constricted blood vessels alleviating stress on arteries and
the heart by relaxing the arteries walls.

Noni contains a compound called scopoletin. Scopoletin is at the
center of the blood pressure regulating power in the body. Noni
has clinical research studies showing that scopoletin has a powerful
anti-hypertensive effect throughout the body, normalizing blood
pressure. Scopoetin helps to reduce blood pressure in another way.
It increases the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin which
aids in regulating blood flow to the brain, heart, and other vital body
organs. Since serotonin plays a major role in expansion and contrac-
tion of blood vessels, restoring healthy blood pressure is one of its
important functions.

MAINTAINS HEALTHY CHOLESTEROL

Noni can also help to lower two other known risk factors for car-
diovascular disease; the dangerous form of cholesterol and high
triglycerides. High triglycerides may contribute to hardening of the
arteries or thickening of the artery walls (arteriosclerosis) — which
increases the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart disease.

In a study conducted on cigarette smokers, a group known to be at
particularly high risk for compromised heart health, findings revealed
much lower cholesterol levels and triglycerides after the smokers
consumed Noni for 30 days. If Noni can have this positive effect on
high risk people, just think how powerfully protective it can be for
everyone else!

MAINTAINS BALANCED INSULIN LEVELS

Noni fruit contains less than 1% carbohydrates. In addition, noni fruit’s
compounds: saponins, flavonoids, and rutin can help maintain healthy
blood sugar levels already within the normal range.

Noni juice has also demonstrated that it offers another important
health benefit by helping to lower blood sugar levels. A recent study
published in the Journal, Evidence-based Complementary and Alter-
native Medicine supported the consumption of Noni juice to assist in
the regulation of elevated blood sugar levels in patients with Type II
Diabetes.

The pilot study showed that the consumption of 2 ml/kg of body weight
of Noni Juice over a period of eight weeks caused a significant
decrease in fasting blood glucose levels and HbA1c values in twenty
patients with diabetes type 2.

Therefore, the anti-diabetic property of Noni Juice appeared to only
involve the regulation of normal blood glucose level and was limited
by feedback mechanisms, rather than involving the pharmacological
pathways that are targets of conventional diabetes medications.
The antiglycation potential of Noni fruit juice was demonstrated in
an eight-week open-label intervention study and in a cross-sectional
population study.

 The study was conducted within the context of
iridoid content, as iridoids are major phytochemicals in Noni fruit and
are well known for their anti-AGE biological activities. Overweight or obese, prehypertensive, or grade 1 hypertensive males and females with impaired fasting glucose and who were not using prescription medication were included in the trial.

But eight weeks of supplementa- tion reduced the AGE-associated age of this group to 39 years, down from an average age of 44. This demonstrated a significant antigly-
cative effect.

SUPPORTS BALANCED MOODS

The compound, scopoletin which is found in Noni Fruit, is able to
elevate your mood. Depression is a common side-effect of chronic pain
as well as a serious psychological problem, in its own right. Scopoletin
has a unique ability to increase the levels of serotonin, the body’s
natural feel-good neurotransmitter,

Further experiments investigated the antidepressant effects of Noni
fruits and its bioactive principles in terms of the monoamine oxidase
(MAO) A and B bioassays for the first time. The findings indicated
that Noni fruit is a natural MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitor, involving a
synergistic effect from multiple active components. The results of this
investigation provided an in vitro rationale for the traditional uses of
Noni fruit as a natural remedy for anti-depression and anti-anxiety, as
well as improved sense of well-being.

IMPROVES SLEEP

As a traditional medicine, Noni was renown as an herbal cure for
insomnia because it contains two sleep-inducing neurotransmitters,
melatonin and serotonin. Each one is necessary to promote deep,
restorative sleep. However, when both are produced, they become an
even more powerful antidote to insomnia.

Noni has one other important component to support sleep and mood.
It contains an important amino acid called tryptophan. Tryptophan is
necessary in order to produce the critical neurotransmitters, serotonin
and melatonin.

Animal studies found that Noni has both anxiolytic- and antidepres-
sant-like activities to be resorted as a valuable alternative therapy for
comorbid anxiety and depressive conditions.

ENHANCES DIGESTION • IMPROVES GUT HEALTH

Noni has been the subject of hundred of studies investigating its many
potential health benefits. Based upon its use by many traditional
cultures, there has been keen interest by researchers to discover and
validate the many health claims.

Noni juice demonstrated that it improved joint health, increased phys-
ical endurance, increased immune activity, inhibited glycation of pro-
teins, reduced pain and inflammation, helped maintain normal blood
pressure and cholesterol levels, enhanced sleep and mood, optimized
digestion and had cognitive protective benefits, and so much more.

Stress is known to have debilitating and long-term negative effects on
every system in the body, dysregulating homeostasis in a multitude of
ways. Based upon Noni juice’s proven ability to optimize and restore
the body’s balance and functioning, it is apparent that Noni is a safe
and effective natural solution for helping to maintain homeostasis.
Noni truly deserves to be acknowledged as Nature’s most amazing
Adaptogen, and “The Foundation of Wellness”.

 

IMPROVES COGNITIVE FUNCTIONING

Noni contains many vital bio-chemical components that support an
alert and youthful brain, at any age! The micro-nutrient pro-Xeronine
found in high amounts in Noni, converts to a unique molecule called
Xeronine. Xeronine is important for brain health because it increases
the production of the feel-good brain chemicals known as endorphins,
such as serotonin.

The other powerful compound in Noni that raises serotonin levels is
scopoletin. It has also been shown to increases brain dopamine levels.
Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter associated with pleasur-
able sensations, along with learning, memory, motor system function,
and more. Since one of the factors contributing to Parkinson’s Disease
is low dopamine levels, using Noni on a daily basis would make good
sense.

Optimal levels of serotonin are necessary for positive moods, an
over-all sense of wellbeing, a positive mental outlook, as well as deep
sleep. The combination of Xeronine and scopoletin in Noni are a
dynamic duo for the brain’s production of endorphins.
Recent studies have shown that Noni protects the brain from stress-re-
lated impairment of cognitive function by insuring good blood-vessel
density in brain. Noni also improves brain energy metabolism as well
as demonstrating neuroprotective effects, leading to reduced cognitive
impairment.
