Questions
What
Health Conditions Does Noni Benefit?
The
most common question received is how noni affects a specific
health challenge. However, since TAHITIAN
NONI® Juice
is a natural health product, Tahitian Noni Interternational (Morinda) and its
independent distributors are prohibited by the FDA from making
or implying any medical claims regarding their products. That includes
the listing of any specific health challenges.
What
I can tell you is that TAHITIAN NONI®
juice supports several systems in the
body and actually works at the cellular level, which means it can have a beneficial effect on the entire
body. To be more specific, research has identified over
150 beneficial compounds in the noni fruit,
including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and
other important elements that are currently the focus of
intensive research.
TAHITIAN NONI®
juice has been used by Polynesians for over 2000 years.
TAHITIAN NONI®
juice has been studied by researchers throughout the
world. TAHITIAN NONI®
juice has been subject to considerable scientific study. TAHITIAN
NONI®
juice is an exclusive product of Tahitian Noni
International. Evidence indicates French Polynesia is the most
abundant source of noni (Morinda citrifolia) in the world.
TAHITIAN NONI®
juice is being used by thousands of people with unbelievable
results. Morinda citrifolia has been valued by traditional
Polynesian healers for its healthful benefits. Tahitian
Noni International (Morinda Inc.) to date has spent 10 years market testing and researching TAHITIAN
NONI® juice.
TAHITIAN NONI juice is a rich source of Proxeronine–an alkaloid used by the body to strengthen and
revitalize cells. Morinda, Inc. is the only company with the ability to
test for proxeronine. Tahitian Noni International has built their own
multi-million dollar lab in Provo Utah.
For
more specific information, there are many books, booklets, and
tapes that have been published by doctors, researchers, and
individuals with extensive knowledge and experience with noni.
Many of these books and booklets can be purchased through
Amazon.com, while others must be purchased directly from the
publisher. Please contact us for ordering information.

If
Noni Juice is so beneficial, why haven't we heard about it before?
The
Morinda citrifolia plant grows in parts of India, Asia, and the
South Pacific, where its Native people have recognized and
benefited from its amazing health and beauty benefits for over
2,000 years.
For
the past 80 years, over 33,000 research papers and articles have
been published on Morinda citrifolia, yet no one was willing to
devote millions of dollars to bring it to the market, except
Morinda. (top)
How
can a fruit juice produce such a wide range of beneficial
results?
The
reason most people find it hard to believe that one product can
benefit the health in a wide variety of individuals, is because we have
been conditioned to believe that there is no such thing.
In fact, we are told that the true test of a legitimate product
is that it should not promise to address a variety of different
health concerns. And then there is the old saying:
"If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is!"
And while in most cases, these statements are true, there are
some natural foods and herbs that have been proven to provide a
wide range of beneficial elements for our health and well-being.
And the noni fruit happens to be one of them.
Let
us not forget that we did not create this amazing fruit - we
simply discovered it and put it into a bottle so that millions
of people around the world could benefit from its amazing
properties. Its creator designed this fruit to have an
abundance of beneficial properties that affect our bodies in
many miraculous ways. And I do not doubt that there are
other such plants on our earth that we have not yet discovered
that are also beneficial to the body.
From
a medical standpoint, it may help to know that the noni works at
the cellular level, and since our entire makeup consists of
different types of cells, it can have a beneficial effect on the
entire body. To be more specific, research has identified
over 150 beneficial compounds in the noni fruit,
including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants.
Scientists are continually discovering new beneficial elements
found in this amazing little fruit! (top)
Ingredients
and Quality
Why
did Tahitian Noni International introduce TAHITIAN NONI® Juice
in the juice form?
Obviously,
it would have been much easier, more convenient, and less
expensive to formulate a powdered or encapsulated product.
However, Tahitian Noni International's main concern was quality, not convenience.
In
fact, Tahitian Noni International's experienced research team spent 3 years and
millions of dollars on research and development to bring a
superior noni product to the market. Based on their
research and over 2,000 years of historical evidence, it became
evident that the only way to bring the noni to the market would
be in its pure, unadulterated form - the way the natives had
used it for thousands of years.
Tahitian
Noni International recognized that by having the product in juice form, it would
not only allow them to retain the critical elements responsible
for producing the beneficial results, but it would also allow
the body to readily utilize all of those elements. (top)
What
are the ingredients of TAHTIAN NONI®
Juice
There
are only 3 ingredients in TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice - Morinda
citrifolia Fruit Puree, Organic Grape Juice, and Organic
Blueberry Juice. The flavoring accounts for only 10% of
the content of the juice and is necessary to cover the offensive
taste of the noni fruit. TAHITIAN NONI® Juice contains no
preservatives, fillers, artificial flavoring, coloring, or
additives of any kind. (See The Morinda Advantage Report
for Extensive Details) (top)
What
is the shelf life of TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice
TAHITIAN
NONI®
Juice is packaged in high-quality recyclable glass
containers to achieve a shelf life of 18-24 months, perhaps
longer, if unopened. If opened and refrigerated, the life
of the product is approximately 1-2 months.
Since
TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice contains no preservatives, it must be
refrigerated after opening to preserve the taste and quality.
(top)
If
I travel, can I take it with me, even if it will not be
refrigerated?
Many
people who are enjoying the benefits of TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice want
to continue to do so when they travel. In fact, it is
especially important to have TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice with you when
you travel, as you are often exposed to new elements that your
system is not accustomed to.
In
most cases, it has been necessary to leave the product un-refrigerated
for a period of time until they reach their destination.
There have been no reported negative effects from doing so,
except for the decline in taste due to the lack of preservatives
in the product.
In
the past, travelers used a hotel ice bucket to keep
TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice cold once they reached their destination.
However, now many travelers prefer our TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice Handi-Packs
due to their small, convenient size and packaging. Each
Handi-Pack comes in a soft juice pack with a re-closable top and
contains 8 ounces of TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice . Their convenient
size allows you to slip them into a backpack or a purse.
With these TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice Handi-Packs, you never have to be
without TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice ! (top)
Is
TAHITIAN NONI® Juice tested for safety and purity?
Yes,
in fact, no other product is put to the rigorous testing that
TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice is. Morinda uses independent
nationally recognized laboratories, such as Corning Hazelton, to
rigorously test TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice for over 400 types of
contaminants. Just a few of those tests include Gamma
Isotope Screening, Heavy Metal Contamination, FDA PAM 410 Fruit
& Vegetable Multi-residue Screening, and a Yeast, Mold and
Bacteria Screening. These tests assure that TAHITIAN
NONI®
Juice is safe and free from all contaminants!
Thermal
Processing, or Pasteurization, allows Tahitian Noni
International to avoid the use
of harmful preservatives, and ensure that TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice is
safe for everyone to consume! In fact, as of November 5,
1999, if any juice is not pasteurized, the FDA now requires that
the juice carry a warning label that reads (although there are
few noni juice companies that comply):
"This
product has not been pasteurized and, therefore, may contain
harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the
elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems." 21 CFR
101.17(g)(2)(ii).
You
will never see this warning on
TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice!
While
some enzymes are de-natured in this process, Dr. Ralph Heinicke
assisted Tahitian Noni International's scientists in developing a proprietary
thermal treatment process designed to allow for thermal
treatment while maintaining the integrity of the juice and its
critical elements.
Competitors
often attempt to mislead consumers by stating that
pasteurization destroys the noni's critical elements.
However, if that were really true, millions of consumers around
the world would not be experiencing life-changing results from
consuming TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice, and Tahitian Noni International would not have
accomplished an unprecedented sales record of $2 billion in
sales in only 7 years! (top)
Does
Tahitian Noni International purchase their noni from another source?
No.
Unlike other companies, Tahitian Noni International prides itself on the fact that
they control the process from the tree to the bottle and every
step in between. This allows them to ensure that every
bottle of TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice is consistently of superior
quality.
Tahitian
Noni International's
process begins when the fruit is harvested. Tahitian Noni
International even
holds certification courses for the individuals who harvest the
fruit. Only once they pass this course are they authorized
to harvest fruit for Tahitian Noni International.
Once the fruit is
harvested, it undergoes a rigorous four-step quality control
process. First, the picker inspects the fruit to ensure
that it meets Tahitian Noni International's high standards for ripeness and quality.
Next, this process is repeated before the fruit is transported
to Tahitian Noni International's (Morinda) processing facility on the main island of Tahiti.
When the fruit arrives at the docks in Tahiti, it is inspected
and approved a third time. Finally, when the fruit arrives
at the processing facility, it receives a final inspection.
At each stage of this process, fruit that does not match
Tahitian Noni International's standards is eliminated, leaving only the highest
quality Morinda citrifolia fruit remaining.
Tahitian Noni
International's processing plant in Tahiti is a state-of-the-art facility
designed to produce the highest quality TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice products.
As the fruit is processed, the preliminary result is a very
thick Noni puree resembling very thick applesauce. This
puree is extensively tested to ensure that it is free of any
impurities or microorganisms. Then it is placed in aseptic
containers for shipment to our processing facility in Provo
Utah.
Upon arrival in
Utah, samples of the puree are carefully tested once again
before the final stage of production. Then Morinda's
exclusive flavoring system of clean and pure fruits is added
along with purified water to achieve the flavor and final
consistency for TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice.
Once the bottling
process is complete, each bottle receives an individual quality
assurance number. This allows Tahitian Noni International to trace each bottle
back to the batch, the island, and even the harvester
involved in the production of that bottle. (top)

Does
it work for everyone?
Overall,
statistics show that 9 out of 10 people benefit from drinking
TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice. However, doctors who are more
experienced with the recommendation of TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice believe that
EVERYONE would receive benefits if they drank enough of it and drank
it long enough. In addition, they have found that the
longer individuals drink TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice, the greater the
benefits. For these reasons, they recommend that everyone
make a commitment to drink TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice for at least 90
days. (top)
When
I can expect to notice results?
Everyone
is unique - some people will notice a difference immediately,
while others will take longer to experience the benefits of
TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice
Experience
indicates that approximately 25% of individuals experience a
noticeable difference in 3 weeks or less, 50% in 3-8 weeks, and
25% in 8-12 weeks. For that reason, doctors recommend that
everyone make a commitment to drink TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice for at
least 90 days. (top)
How
much should I drink and can I drink too much?
TAHITIAN
NONI®
Juice is a natural food supplement and NOT a medication.
Therefore, no dosage instructions can be given. However,
the recommendation printed on the bottle of TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice is one ounce per day, since that is the amount that most people
use to experience the desired benefits. Some people choose
to drink more so that they can derive faster, more dramatic
results.
Extensive
experience has shown that you cannot drink too much TAHITIAN
NONI®
Juice. To verify this fact, Morinda just
completed an "Allergen and Toxicity" study at 200
times the recommended daily amount of one ounce without any allergens
or toxicity.
For
further information, there are many independent doctors who have
extensive experience with TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice who offer booklets
and tapes with more information about using the product in ways
to derive the greatest benefit. Please ask the person who
shared this information with you about those independent
resources. (top)
Are
there any instructions on how should I drink TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice?
As
stated above, TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice is a natural food supplement,
and NOT a medication. Therefore, no specific dosage
instructions can be given. However, through extensive
research, many scientists and doctors have discovered that there
are ways to maximize the benefits of TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice.
For
instance, Dr. Ralph Heinicke, a scientist with extensive
experience with the noni, recommends drinking TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice
on an empty stomach to allow the noni's
critical elements to pass through the stomach unharmed by
digestive acids and without interference from other substances.
Many
healthcare professionals have noted that their patients derive
far greater benefits by drinking TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice
first thing
in the morning on an empty stomach. The only
thing they recommend consuming along with TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice is
your other nutritional supplements. It is also interesting
to note that the native cultures also recommend drinking the noni
juice after periods of rest and peace to derive the greatest
benefit.
For
further information, there are many independent doctors who have
extensive experience with TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice who offer booklets
and tapes with more information about using the product in ways
to derive the greatest benefit. Please ask the person who
shared this information with you about those independent
resources. (top)
Can
I mix TAHITIAN NONI® Juice with other beverages?
To
derive the full benefit from drinking TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice, it is
better to consume it as is. However, if an individual
finds the taste unpleasant, it is better to mix it with another
juice than to not consume it at all. Grape juice masks the
taste of the noni fruit better than most juices. Some
doctors do not recommend mixing TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice with citrus
juices and it should NEVER be mixed with caffeinated or
alcoholic beverages. (top)
Does
TAHITIAN NONI® Juice have any side effects?
No
side effects have been reported by healthcare professionals,
their patients, or consumers. In fact, Tahitian Noni
International completed an "Allergenicity and Toxicity" study at 200
times the recommended daily amount of one ounce without any
allergens or toxicity.
Although
there are no side effects, a small percentage of people will
experience a mild cleansing process. A process that many
healthcare professionals believe is critical to restoring health
to the body. This process generally lasts 1-3 days or
until the heavy toxins are eliminated. However, most
people do not even notice this cleansing process.
Healthcare professionals recommend drinking plenty of water with
fresh-squeezed lemon juice added to ease the symptoms and
provide further cleansing benefits.
As
a side note, the Noni Fruit itself, NOT our product, was studied
by the FDA and US Military and still appears on their GRAS List
(Generally Regarded as Safe) for GI's to use while stationed in
the South Pacific during WWII. (top)
Will
TAHITIAN NONI Juice affect my medications?
TAHITIAN
NONI®
Juice does not have any contraindications. There have
been no reports of any interactions with medications. That
includes the many medical professionals who use TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice with their patients who take a variety of medications.
(top)
Do
I still have to take my other nutritional supplements?
While
TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice does contain a tremendous amount of
nutritional benefits, taking other nutritional supplements along
with TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice actually enhances the benefits of both.
They work synergistically in the body. TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice aids the body to absorb and utilize more of
those nutrients. (top)
Can
I give TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice to my pets?
Yes, there is nothing harmful for most pets, like dogs,
cats, horses
etc. If they can safely drink a fruit juice then it is most
likely they can drink TAHITIAN NONI®
Juice Animal will normally drink smaller amounts.
Usually half that of humans. Check with your vet if you are
unsure. (top)
