The Truth About
Noni Fruit Benefits!
In this article we will cover the truth about noni fruit benefits. It seems that many companies are promoting noni as being a ‘cure all’ and in this article we will examine the traditional uses of noni as well as what science has to say about its benefits.
Traditional Uses of Noni
Noni is the fruit of a plant that is found in the South Pacific islands of Tahiti as well as Hawaii. Noni is also known as the Indian mulberry. It has been used traditionally by Polynesians for over 2,000 years and is reported to have a wide range of beneficial effects.
The noni benefits are said to include the following: anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-tumour, anti-helminth, analgesic, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, immune boosting, energy enhancing and well-being improving.
Bio-active Compounds in Noni
There are numerous compounds found in noni that have significant physiological benefits. These include: anthraquinones, organic acids, xeronine, plus various vitamins and minerals.
Noni Fruit Benefits:
Noni fruit benefits 1: Anti-cancer properties
Research has shown that noni contains a polysaccharide-rich substance called noni-ppt, which demonstrates anit-tumour activity in mice with lung cancer. Obviously this study hasn’t been done with human subjects but nevertheless it does hold some promise in this area.
Noni fruit benefits 2: Improves blood lipid profiles
A study found that smokers who drank noni juice every day for a month experienced reductions in total cholesterol and triglycerides. Whether these same noni benefits can be extended to non-smokers as well is yet to be seen, however, at this stage it is still a substantial benefit for some people.
Noni fruit benefits 3: Increases energy
Traditionally, noni was used by Polynesians to combat fatigue. Clinical research has now shown conclusively that one of the major noni benefits is that it improves quality of life scores related to physical functioning and energy levels.
Furthermore, a study with mice found that aged mice were able to function as well as young mice when pre-treated with noni.
Noni benefits 4: Suppresses parasitic infections
There is some evidence to suggest that extracts from noni may suppress the development of parasitic infections. The research found that the leaves and roots have this effect. Whether the fruit itself or extracts from the fruit have similar effects will likely be examined in future studies.
Noni benefits 5: May have pain-relieving and sedative properties
Studies using mice and extracts from the root of noni have demonstrated pain-relieving and sedative properties. Again, whether similar effects can be seen from the fruit itself or fruit extracts will surely come to light shortly, however, at this stage it does look promising.
Noni benefits 6: Reduces the development of cancer blood vessels
In 2003, researchers found that noni was able to inhibit the initiation of new cancer blood vessels in human tissues. In higher concentrations it was even able to induce cancer blood vessel degradation and ‘apoptosis’ (cell death of cancer cells).
At this stage it appears that consumption of noni in controlled amounts does not cause any negative side effects. In high amounts it may cause some degree of diarrhoea and in fact, other mulberry plant species are used as a laxative in some parts of the world.
