In this article, we take a look at a popular fruit juice offered by a leading network marketing company, Tahitian Noni International. Tahitian Noni International, which was started in 1996, markets noni fruit juice through network marketing. Since this company has been one of the most popular over the last several years we’ll assume that it has a reasonable pay plan and focus this review on the benefits of the noni products.
Tatitian or Hawaiian Noni is also known as Indian Mulberry, Morinada, Hog Apple, Meng Koedoe, Mora De La India, Ruibarbarbo Caribe or Wild Pine. We’re most interested in proven health benefits or warnings and any studies that may have been done by independent sources, e.g., those having no financial interests associated with the product.
Regardless of all the marketing and publicity, noni fruit juice has attracted limited medical research into noni benefits and cannot yet be scientifically related to potential health benefits. In a 2006 pilot study funded by Tahitian Noni International, Inc., it was reported that Noni Fruit Juice consumption may lower blood cholesterol levels, but medical experts have expressed skepticism.
In 2005, two scientific publications described incidents of acute hepatitis caused by ingesting noni. This was, however, followed by a publication showing that noni juice 1) posed no toxicity issues in high dose consumption, and 2) contained low quantities of anthraquinones which could be toxic to liver tissue.
Tahitian Noni International promotes the fact that the product is listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR). The publication it is included in is specifically for non-prescription drugs and dietary supplements vs. the one for presciption drugs. By way of contrast, certain supplements manufacturing companies, but only one direct sales company, have products listed in the more widely used prescription drug edition. This is because of the more extensive scientific evidence from studies and manufacturing quality of the companies listed in the more prestigious edition.
In a 2006 study, Brunswick Labs analyzed the anti-oxidant properties of juice products available from several mlm companies Brunswick used the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity in their analysis which is a widely used measure of the antioxidant power of foods and other chemical substances. Results of product testing indicated the following ORAC per serving scores for several popular products on the market are as follows:
* Xango – one fl oz. – ORAC 783
* Mona Vie – one fl oz. – ORAC 660
* g3 – two fl. oz – ORAC 922
* Tahitian Noni – one fl. oz ORAC 340
Are there benefits from taking Tahitian Noni fruit juice? We consider this an individual choice. Most of the testimonials we've heard have to do with improvements in arthritis or healing of injured bones, muscle and tissue. Will noni fruit juice cure all your ailments? Probably not, but we do know that each individual reacts differently to different products and substances, so it may be worth a try depending on specific needs even though this product has popular appeal vs. mainstream benefits.
