Noni.  Hawaiian medicine.  Look it up.

To quote The Fabulous Thunderbirds..."Powerful stuff" :yupyup:

Hey Wainiha...

Thanks for sharing that...

Although I have the seen the “noni” word on bottled supplements, I had not researched noni.

It is one of many ancient organics (miracle remedies) that have been used by natives of certain cultures – Polynesian and Hawaiian.

I just read a very detailed report on noni with a nearly complete breakdown of its chemistry – which is what I always look for.  Then I look at the toxicology – how toxic can it be.

Like most herbology related miracle cures, no substantial clinical trials or research has been done on humans.

Of the 160 phytochemicals identified in the noni plant, any combination may or may not be a benefit.  The complete physiochemical composition of the fruit has not been reported.

One of the first things I look at are mineral elements. Noni has a relatively high potassium content followed by sulfur, calcium, and phosphorus, with traces of selenium.  Since the potassium level in blood is critical, elevating potassium above normal level could be dangerous.

Like most of the “herb remedies”, the origin, potency, quality, and purity are always questionable.

Would I take noni for any reason?  No.  To the best of my ability, I prefer to know exactly what chemicals are in anything I consume. 

For those who want to read about noni:
