Benefits of Noni

Medical research on Noni started at least 1950, when the scientific journal Science reported that Pacific Noni fruit showed antibacterial properties against M. pyrogenes, P. Aeruginosa, and even E. coli are deadly.

Studies and research on Noni continues to be done by various research institutions and university. Since 1972, Dr. Ralph Heinicke, the famous biochemist from the United States began to conduct research about xeronine alkaloids contained in the enzyme bromelain (enzyme in pineapple), and then discovered that the Noni fruit also contains xeronine and precursor (proxeronine) in large numbers. Xeronine is one of the important substances that regulate specific functions of proteins and cells of the human body.
