Organic noni powder is loaded with antioxidants, polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is all natural, with no additives. For a superior immunity-boost, use organic noni powder to make noni juice, or mix with other foods and drinks.
How to Enjoy Noni Powder
Our organic noni powder is made from sun-dried, whole noni fruit. In addition to noni powder, the plant is sometimes made into noni juice, noni extract, and noni tea. Try mixing 1 tbsp of organic noni powder daily into smoothies, yogurt, juices, or nut milks. You can also add water to organic noni powder to make noni juice. Many ingest noni on an empty stomach to maximize health benefits. There are approximately 20 tbsp in an 8 ounce bag.
Health Benefits of Noni Powder
Noni is sometimes known as a superfood because of all its phytochemicals: antioxidants, polysaccharides, flavonoids, fatty acids, and catechins. It contains 17 different amino acids, as well as a significant amount of other nutrients.
1) Antioxidant Powerhouse: Organic noni powder is packed with protective antioxidants, flavonoids, and catechins. These compounds protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, which helps reduce the risk for premature aging and chronic conditions like heart disease.
2) Immunity-Boosting: Noni is a rich source of polysaccharides which support the body’s natural defense system against illness and infection. A study at the University of Hawaii demonstrated that the polysaccharide content of noni juice improves the function of white blood cells in the immune system, which protect the body against diseases. A separate study at the university found that specific polysaccharides, known as noni-ppt, inhibited tumor growth and improved the life span of tumor-bearing mice.
3) Essential Nutrients: Organic noni powder is an excellent source of essential fatty acids and all 9 essential amino acids that our bodies do not produce naturally and must be obtained through diet. Essential fatty acids keep our cells functioning normally and essential amino acids are required to help our bodies make proteins. Additionally, noni powder is an excellent source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, iron, and potassium.
Origins of Noni Powder
Noni is the Hawaiian name for the Morinda citrifolia plant, an evergreen shrub that probably originated in Southeast Asia and has spread throughout Oceania. It is believed that noni was a “canoe plant,” so highly prized by Polynesian peoples that they brought it with them as they migrated in their canoes to new islands. As the white noni berry is pungent and bitter, it was only eaten during times of famine. However, Polynesians used the noni berry widely as a dye and to treat wounds, inflammations, infections and other ailments.
