What is Noni Powder?

Noni, or Morinda Citrifolia, is a shrub native to the Pacific islands, Asia and Australia. Noni has been used historically by the Polynesians for thousands of years for varied health benefits.

Noni is packed with vitamin C, alkaloids, caproic, caprylic acids and many terpene compounds and is used to enhance energy and strengthen immunity.

Although it starts as green in color, the fruits mature into a white or yellow hue and in its raw form smells and tastes foul. It generally thrives in sandy or rocky shores but can also grow in mineral-rich volcanic ash and on limestone, particularly the Hawaiian Islands and Tahiti.

Noni is also known as Indian mulberry, Morinda, Great Morinda, Cheezefruit, Mouse’s pineapple, Yellow Root, Jumbie breadfruit, Hog Apple, Mengkudu, Nono, Feuille Froide, Rhubarbe caraïbe, Bilimbi, Pomme-macaque and Pomme de singe.

The botanical name for the genus was taken from the two Latin words morus, mulberry, and indicus, Indian, because of the similarity of the noni fruit to that of true mulberry (Morus alba).

Apart from being a rich source of vitamin C, noni fruit also includes alkaloids, minerals and other nutrients.

Health Benefits of Noni Powder

The high vitamin C content in noni aids in strengthening the immune system. Glycosides and other constituents derived from the fruits and leaves have shown antioxidant effects, protecting cell membranes from the damage caused by free radical molecules.

Noni fruit contains the precursor to the recently discovered alkaloid xeronine in the form of the compound "proxeronine." Alkaloids are believed to play a role in the communication that occurs at the biochemical level in the body, and xeronine for the most part is responsible for triggering dormant enzymes and improving healthy cell function.
