What is Noni Juice?
Noni, or Morinda citrifolia, comes from the family Rubiaceae. The noni fruit grows on a small shrub-like tree. The ripened fruit has a green, almost translucent, bumpy skin, and gives off a pungent odor. Noni has been found growing in many islands of the South Pacific (including Hawaii and Tahiti), Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, Africa, Guam, and the West Indies.
TAHITIAN NONIŽ Juice is the brand name for a noni juice that is made from noni grown, picked and bottled in Tahiti by a company called Tahitian Noni International.
TAHITIAN NONIŽ Juice was brought for commercial sale into United States during the mid-nineties. Before that time few Americans had ever heard of the fruit. However in Tahiti and in other areas of French Polynesia, people had been using noni to promote health and wellness for over 2,000 years.
Historically, the natives used the entire plant for a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Early studies of the plant document that its traditional uses ranged from using the root as a fever-reducing agent, to helping control diabetes, as well as applying the leaves on wounds and ulcers.
