Noni is the common Hawaiian name for Morinda citrifolia. The noni plant is a type of evergreen ranging in size from a small bush to a tree 20 or 30 feet high that grows in open coastal regions from sea level to elevations of 1300 feet. The noni fruit is approximately the size of a potato and has a lumpy appearance with a waxy, semi-translucent skin that ranges in color as it ripens from green, to yellow, to almost white when it is ripe and ready for juicing.
The noni fruit has been part of the healing traditions of the Hawaiians and Polynesians for thousands of years and is now receiving more and more attention from modern herbalists, medical physicians, and scientists from around the world. Numerous scientific studies lend support to the ancient claims of the noni fruits’ healing power and more and more research is being done to discover just how amazing this fruit really is!
What is the difference between Hawaiian Noni and Noni from Tahiti?
There’s little difference between noni fruit grown in Hawaii and noni fruit grown in Tahiti. Noni grows all around the world in Hawaii, Tahiti, China, Malaysia, India… and it is the very same plant.
But there are very important differences between our Hawaiian Virgin Noni Juice and most other noni juice coming from both Tahiti and Hawaii.
The main difference is that these other noni juice's are not pure noni juice but instead a diluted watered down mixture of different juices and flavors. They are made from a noni pulp, puree or concentrate that is transported to the US in cargo ships and then reconstituted with a mixture of water and grape, guava or berry juices. It is then aggressively sold through a huge mutli-level marketing system with flashy advertising which makes the prices of their juice unreasonably high.
Virgin Noni’s Hawaiian noni juice is 100% pure noni juice with nothing added. Our noni juice is not made from a puree or concentrate and we do not mix our noni juice with water or other juices. Our Virgin Noni juice is made using the traditional Hawaiian method and our noni fruits are hand picked at their peak of ripeness ensuring the highest nutritional value and healing properties.
Of course you can mix our 100% pure noni juice with water or other fruit juices at home, but then you know how much noni you are getting and you’re saving yourself a lot of money as well!
How do I take Noni juice and when should I take it?
Noni juice is a natural fruit juice and it is impossible to overdose on noni! A recommended starting dose is 1oz. once or twice a day (morning and evening). It is best to drink noni juice on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or half an hour before meals. Once your body becomes accustomed to noni you can increase your dosage as desired.
It is perfectly fine to rinse down or mix your noni juice with other fruit juices or water.
Can pregnant women and children take Noni?
Absolutely! We have never heard of any child or adult experiencing health problems from taking Noni. Generally children take smaller quantities as adults, according to their weight. Many pregnant women are taking Noni without any difficulties and have reported health benefits from taking Noni during their pregnancy.
How soon will I notice the effects of Noni?
Everyone is different in terms of age, size, and health status. Some people will notice a difference immediately, while others will take longer to experience the benefits. This depends on the overall health situation of each individual. In our experience most people will notice some effects within the first month.
How long does Virgin Noni juice last opened and unopened?
Unopened Virgin Noni juice has a shelf life of at least 2 years. Once opened your Noni juice should be kept refrigerated and will last at least 6 months.
Do you use pesticides?
Absolutely not! We never use any pesticides or chemicals in our soil. On our Noni farm we use multi-tons of natural organic mulch, compost, manures, micro-nutrient rich coral calcium powders, organic foliar seaweed fertilizers and other natural soil and plant amendments. We do not use mildewcides, pesticides or fungicides on our Noni plants.
How much Noni fruit does it take to make Noni juice and Noni powder?
About 5 lbs of noni fruit makes a quart of clear juice. It takes about 10 lbs of noni fruit to make a pound of noni powder.
How is your Noni juice made?
Our Virgin Noni Juice is made using the traditional Hawaiian way known as ‘dripping’. First our farmers carefully hand-pick only the highest quality fully ripe noni fruit. Then the noni fruit is carefully washed and put in large 50 gallon containers. The stacked noni fruit becomes a natural press that lets the juice flow under the weight of all the ripe fruits. We then softly fresh-press the noni fruit to complete the juicing process. The pure noni juice is then strained several times and pasteurized in a way to preserve the most nutrients, vitamins, and especially keep the important enzymes active.
Can I take Noni juice while I am seeing a doctor?
Noni is a safe fruit with no known counter-indications, side effects, or negative interactions with other medications. Rather in some cases Noni permitted other medications to act more efficiently, allowing a decrease in the dosage of the medication. If you are currently under a doctor's care, it is important to let them know that you plan to take Noni and listen to their advice.
