   • Can be taken along with other supplements, including vitamins, minerals and herbs, including: pycnogenal, germanium, vitamins C and E, chondroitin, aloe vera, et al.
   • Boosts general health and performance.
   • Dramatic improvement in weakened conditions.
   • Increased absorption, assimilation, utilization of vitamins, herbs and minerals.
   • Powerful anti-oxidant function for protection from free radical damage.
2. Analgesic

   • The noni tree is also known as the “Pain and Headache Tree”.
   • Beneficial for back & neck pain, muscular & nerve pain, migraine and tension headaches.
   • A 1990 study conducted at the Laboratory of Pharmacosny of the University of Meets in France found noni to have a central analgesic effect.
   • According to studies reported in the journal Planta Medica (Analgesic and Behavourial Effects of Morinda Citrifolia; pg 430-434; Oct 1990), noni has been found to be 75% as effective as morphine sulphate in relieving pain without the toxic side effects of morphine. Unlike morphine, noni is not addictive.
3. Immune Support
   According to clinical trials conducted by Dr. Schechter, director of the Natural Healing Institute in California,
   • Noni stimulates the production of T-cells in the immune system. T-cells play a pivotal role in fighting disease.
   • Noni acts to enhance the immune system involving macrophages and/or lymphocytes, which are a vital part of the body’s natural defences.
   • Noni has been shown to combat many types of bacteria.
   • Noni inhibits precancer function & the growth of cancer tumours by allowing abnormal cells to function more normally.
4. Anti-inflammatory
   • Effective for muscular and joints conditions such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
   • Reduction of pain & swelling in injuries such as bruises, deep cuts, boils, strains and burns. Noni can be used as a poultice and applied directly onto the affected skin.
   • Beneficial for ulcers, cellulitis, scalp conditions and itching rashes.
5. Adaptogen (Normalizing Function)
   • Helps restore body’s internal organs to normal function.
   • Scientific documentation of benefits for gastrointestinal system (diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, colitis, ulcers), reproductive organs (menstrual problems, fibroids, yeast infections), liver and pancreas (diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis), respiratory system (asthma, sinusitis, emphysema), endocrine system (thyroid & adrenal disease), cardiovascular system (heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke) and nervous system (stress, depression, memory, sex drive, energy).
   • Isolation of the compound from noni called scopoletin by the University of Hawaii in 1993 attributes the new compound to lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, killing bacteria and fungi and preventing tumour growth.
   • The phytonutrient, damnacanthal, found in noni, was found to be an inhibitor of some precancerous cells.
