What makes it work so well?
Noni fruit is a Polynesian superfood that contains over 165 beneficial compounds in its raw form. Noni is a tropical tree known scientifically as Morinda Citrifolia. The true traditional use for thousands of years among Polynesian cultures was to eat the raw fruit as a natural preventative to keep themselves from getting sick. Research has shown raw noni pulp to be a very high anti-inflammatory and antioxidant which feeds the cells of the body to promote good health. Noni fruit also contains vital micronutrients, soluble and insoluble fiber, essential fatty acids, and countless other vitamins and minerals.
Some of the beneficial phytonutrients of Morinda Citrifolia (Noni):
Damnacanthal- fights cancer, pre-cancerous cells, Lewis lung carcinoma, stimulates T cell activity
Scopoletin- analgesic and binds serotonin, keeping levels elevated, anti-depressive, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal
Anthraquinone- Controls infectious bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Salmonella
Terpenes- help with cell rejuvenation increasing nutrient-ion exchange
Phytonutrients and Selenium- anti-oxidant protection against free radicals
Soluble fiber- helps cleans blood, decreases cholesterol, binds to fat, balances blood sugar levels
Insoluble fiber- important for colon health
Amino acids- building blocks of proteins. Contains 17 of the 20 amino acids including all 9 of the essential making it a complete protein
Essential fatty acids- building blocks of fats and oils: maintains healthy skin, nerve cells, heart tissue and blood vessels, helps balance mood, keep cells working properly, improving nutrient-toxin exchange

My wife and I (Steve Frailey) moved to Kauai, Hawaii in 1982 from our organic farm in California. There were no roads, electricity, water or buildings but lots of Noni trees (Morinda Citrifolia) in our valley. We also developed a deep relationship with Noni that was growing all through our valley. Today we run our Hawaiian Organic Noni farm, and share the gift of health with people throughout the world.
