NONI JUICE

We have recently been hearing great things about a relatively new health product available on the Irish market called Noni Juice. It has actually been around for hundreds and hundreds or years but it is only in the last few years that people in Ireland have started taking notice. It was originally part of the staple diet of early settlers on the French islands of Polynesia in the South Pacific and is obtained from the Morinda Citrifolia plant. While it also grows in other parts of the world, the Noni Juice from these islands are thought to be the best quality available as the weather conditions are perfect for the development of the plant. The plant itself starts to produce fruit after about a year and a half and will then provide between 4-8kg per month all the year round.

It is claimed that Noni Juice is a wonder food supplement when it comes to your health and the hidden ingredient accredited for this is Xeronine. Some of the benefits of drinking the juice on a regular basis include a boosted Immune System, Digestive System, Circulatory system and stabilised Blood Sugar levels. Along with these general benefits it is also believed to help conditions such as Crohn’s Disease, Diabetes, Inflammation, Arthritis, Ulcers, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constipation as is even believed to improve your skin and hair.

However, it must be stressed that to date none of these claims have been substantiated with medical research so we cannot be sure of the real effects Noni Juice has on the human body. Various medical research is currently being carried out to prove or disprove these claims so we should have more information about it in the near future. If you do decide to try it out make sure to monitor how you respond to it as you would with any new food supplement and mention it to your GP to get their recommendations. People with Kidney problems should avoid Noni Juice as it contains high levels of Potassium which in turn can increase the Potassium levels in the blood.
