Stacy said:Was not that much for a large bottle. About $14. No more than many other
supps. And you only take a tablespoon a day.
Even so, you got nothing out of the money you spent. Remember, P T
Barnum relied on this sales approach.

"In the dialysis population, Noni juice should be avoided because of its
high potassium content."
"Based on these results, the MR extracts may act as both a suppressor of
bone resorption and an enhancer of bone formation in vivo and may have
some favorable effects for preventing and treating the osteoporosis
induced by sciatic neurectomy."
Those are for people with medical problems.
However, what happens when a healthy person drinks it?

Herbal hepatotoxicity: acute hepatitis caused by a Noni preparation
(Morinda citrifolia).

A 45-year-old patient was sent to our department because of highly
elevated transaminases and elevated lactate dehydrogenase. His medical
history was unremarkable and he took no medication on regular basis.
Physical examination did not detect any abnormalities. There was no
evidence for viral hepatitis, Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus,
autoimmune hepatitis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, haemochromatosis or Wilson's
disease. During the interview he admitted that for 'prophylactic
reasons' he had been drinking the juice of Noni (Morinda citrifolia), a
Polynesian herbal remedy made from a tropical fruit, during the
preceding 3 weeks. This gave rise to the suspicion of herbal toxicity,
which was confirmed by a liver biopsy. After ceasing the ingestion of
Noni, transaminase levels normalized quickly and were within normal
ranges 1 month after the first presentation. To our knowledge, this is
the first report of hepatotoxicity caused by this herbal remedy, which
has been highly praised in the tabloid press.
