Morinda Citrifolia, Moringa, and Indian Mulberry are the known names for Noni. The major crop is a tree that thrives in black lava soil in the islands of Hawaii. This tree grows and produces fruit all year long. Transplanted and cultivated to other areas, it will only grow in shrub form and will not produce as much or as valuable a fruit as the trees in Hawaii. Noni is native to Hawaii, but has been established in other hot humid climates.
The whole noni tree has long been found to be useful. You can eat the not-so-tasty fruit raw or cooked and the seeds are even quite palatable once they are roasted. The bark and leaves of the noni tree are used in herbal medicines and remedies. Mainly, however, noni is harvested for its fruit juice.
There are several large companies that have started producing and marketing noni juice. As with any product, make sure you are getting the juice fresh, and without additives and preservatives, if possible. Noni juice contains 17 known amino acids, 9 of them are the ones that the FDA has determined are essential to a healthy system. This juice also contains essential fatty acids that are important in skin, nerve, heart and blood vessel health.
Noni Juice additionally contains Glycosides which are important in destroying scavenging free radicals and preventing cancer. Limonene, which noni also contains a large allotment of, is another substance that fights cancer and is usually found in citrus juices, but in smaller concentrations.

Selenium, also, is an important mineral that helps preserve the skins elasticity, slows the aging process and helps keep the oxygen flowing to the heart.

Last but not least, xeronine is not a substance that the body can store, but it is important in every cell’s health. It needs to be supplied daily, since the amount we already have decreases day by day as we get older. Noni Juice just happens to be the world’s most concentrated source of Proxeronine, which our bodies easily make into xeronine automatically.
