How does Noni work?
The active constituents of Noni have not been definitively identified. Some researchers point to the number of enzymes and alkaloids in Noni. Others tout the polysaccharides that are believed to strengthen the immune system. Some believe that it is the synergistic activity of all the components of Noni juice that provides such positive results in so many people. Other constituents that have been credited for Noni s unique healing abilities include Scopoletin, which has been shown to lower blood pressure, relax muscle spasms, reduce inflammation and kill bacteria and fungi; and Damnacanthol, an arthraquinone compound that protects against cellular degeneration. As stated above, it may be the unique synergy of all these constituents, plus vitamins, minerals, trace elements, cofactors and amino acids rather than a single constituent which gives Noni its healing power. In any case it is believed that Noni works on a cellular level to enhance good health.
