GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Neways Authentic Hawaiian Noni is a complementary blend of three
health-promoting fruit juices: Hawaiian Noni, Raspberry, and Blueberry.
The combination of health benefits provided by these three fruits
supports your body’s natural defenses and helps to maintain good health.
The noni plant (Morinda citrifolia) is native to tropical Asia, the
Malay Peninsula, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. In these parts of
the world, the fruit has been used for centuries to alleviate a wide
variety of illnesses. For instance, the fruit has been used in Thailand
to relieve vomiting and nausea. In Fiji, it has been used to treat
ringworm, hemorrhoids, and oral problems such as bad breath, hoarseness,
and mouth ulcers. In the Cook Islands, noni juice has been used to
treat urinary tract infections and abdominal swellings. The plant is
also found throughout India where the fruit is claimed to be laxative
and emmenagogue. Unfortunately, the noni fruit has an unpleasant taste and
noxious smell and is therefore not eaten as nourishment except during times of
famine.
Recently Dr. Eiichi Furusawa and Anne Hirazumi, of the Department of
Pharmacology at the University of Hawaii, have performed a series of
studies concerning the potential health benefits of the Noni fruit. In
three successive studies (in vitro or in vivo with mice), the
researchers showed that noni juice enhances the immune system and
thereby attacks tumor cells. The active portion of noni (the
ethanol-insoluble fraction) contains gum arabic heteropolysaccharide,
which is composed mainly of the sugars glucuronic acid, galactose,
arabinose, and rhamnose. Dr. Furusawa treated tumor-bearing mice with a
combination of these Noni polysaccharides and conventional
chemotherapeutic agents and found that noni polysaccharides had a
significantly beneficial effect. He concluded, "…the possibility of
combining [the active component of Noni] with sub-optimal doses of
chemotherapy may not only reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapy by
lowering its dose, but may improve the curative property." ,
Another group of researchers in the Department of Bacteriology at the
University of Hawaii found that the noni fruit is moderately effective
against bacteria.
Raspberries are grown and eaten throughout North America and in other
parts of the world. They contain ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant.
Found in almost all fruits, vegetables, and nuts, ellagic acid is
present in much higher concentrations in raspberries than in other
foods. Ellagic acid has been widely studied in recent years. Many
studies have examined its usefulness as an antioxidant.
In 1999 a
study performed by researchers at the Central Drug Research Institute in India
found that "…ellagic acid possess the properties of a potent free radical
scavenger which suggests its usefulness as a drug for antioxidant therapy."
Among other things, studies have shown that ellagic acid is antimutagenic and
that it prevents ulcers. In 1998 a researcher from the Department of Medicine
of the China Medical College in Taiwan evaluated the growth of Helicobacter
pylori, a bacterium implicated in the development of ulcers, in the presence of
several different concentrations of ellagic acid. The researcher found that
ellagic acid inhibited the growth of H. pylori.
Blueberries, which are well known for their antioxidant properties, are
grown and eaten throughout North America and in other parts of the
world. Recent studies of blueberries have shown that a diet containing
blueberries can be beneficial in many ways. A study of aged (19 month
old) mice supported by the US Department of Agriculture showed that
supplementing the diet with blueberry extract can reverse some
age-related neuronal or behavioral dysfunctions.
A
collaborative study between Tel Aviv University and Weizmann Institute of
Science in Israel indicated that blueberries contain a polymeric compound that
inhibits adhesion of Esherichia coli to cells of the urinary and alimentary
tracts, thus preventing development of urinary tract infections. In an in vitro
study published in 1996, researchers from the University of Illinois found that
blueberries are potentially anticarcinogenic. Onetype of flavonoid in
blueberries, the proanthocyanidin fraction, inhibited the induction of
ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. ODC is rate-limiting in the synthesis
of polyamines, which rapidly proliferate in cancer cells. Thus, by inhibiting
ODC, blueberries inhibit the synthesis of polyamines, which may also inhibit
cancer cells.
Additionally, in
a collaborative study published in 1999, researchers from Tufts University,
University of Connecticut, and
University of Colorado found that blueberry extract can protect against
an increase in capillary permeability, which can be caused by
hypertension, diabetes, or heart attack. Blueberry extract in the diet
of rats in this study protected them from an increase of capillary
permeability that was induced by hyperoxia (exposing the rats to pure
oxygen for 48 hours).
Agave nectar, citric acid, natural raspberry flavor, and stevia (or
"honeyleaf" plant) are included in this product to enhance the flavor.
Agave nectar, citric acid, and natural raspberry flavor are common to
many commercially available products.
Stevia is widely used in dietary supplements throughout the United
States and as a non-caloric sweetener in Japan. Some studies have
suggested that stevia may be helpful in treating diabetes because of
antihyperglycemic effects. For instance, a group of researchers from the
Aarhus University Hospital and Novo Nordisk (a company that deals with insulin
and diabetes care) in Denmark found that stevioside (a glycoside of stevia)
encourages the secretion of insulin in the presence of glucose. Additionally,
many studies have been performed to assess the safety of stevia. Researchers
from Tianjin Medical College in China
performed a 24-month study of the effects of low-, mid-, and high dose
levels of stevioside in rats. Based on the results of their study and
their review of many previous studies, the researchers concluded that
stevioside is nontoxic, nonmutagenic, and noncarcinogenic. An acceptable daily
intake of about 8 mg/kg body weight/day was suggested by the researchers. The
amount of stevioside found in one ounce of Neways Authentic Hawaiian Noni is
less than this upper limit, even for small children.
Potassium sorbate works in this product as a preservative. It is a
naturally occurring nutrient – the potassium salt of sorbic acid, an
unsaturated fatty acid found in a variety of plant sources. It is
Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
