Can TNJ Harm the Kidney?
This question has come up now and again. Recently, one IPC asked Doc this question and I thought I would put it up for the benefit of others: “I was recently told by my MD to refrain from taking Noni, because it had an adverse effect on the kidney, I have stopped, but is this true?”
Here’s Doc’s reply: “Absolutely not true. TNJ activates healing and repair mechanisms in every system including kidney and blood vessels. We can document that. The only caution with TNJ is for people in renal failure. TNJ is equal to orange and tomato juice as a source of potasium. So, they must start with small amounts and increase slowly while monitoring potassium. Any time someone gives you a negative comment on TNJ ask them for a reference and then refer to us for clarification including scientific documentation. If TNJ damaged kidneys the FDA would ban it. TNJ has been evaluated by the FDA for 11 years with no limitations to age, condition, medications, or amount of juice. The FDA never “Approves” a product only limits or bans the sale.”
