Chemical Constituents of Noni
The health benefits of consuming certain fruit and vegetables have been known for centuries. Epidemiological studies of the 20th century clearly demonstrated that eating certain plants or plant-based foods protects against several chronic disease conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. For example, people who consume nutrient-rich foods and get enough vitamins and minerals from their diet reduce their risk of common illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.
Noni, like all plants is a living biochemical factory. It produces many biologically active and useful chemical compounds. The list of chemical components found in Noni grows longer each year as researchers refine their focus and characterise new molecules. Some of the discoveries have revealed significant medically active compounds. To date, the major groups of chemical constituents of most significance in Noni are the complex polysaccharides, anthraquinones, glycosides and triterpenoids. These are important and medically promising chemical constituents that have been discovered in the Noni plant and have a major impact on human health.
Anthraquinones are antibacterial, anti-viral, cholesterol reducing, triglyceride reducing, anti-tumor, analgesic and a sedative.
Glyocosides are anti-cancer and anti-tumour.
Lignans and Neolignans are antioxidant and arteriosclerosis.
Polysaccharides are immuno-modulatory, anti-cancer and anti-tumour.
Sterols and needed for steroid hormone production.
Scopoletin is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, histamine-inhibiting, assists in arthritic conditions, allergies, sleep disorders, migraine, headaches, depression and Alzheimer’s disease.
Triterpenoids are anti-tumour (skin cancer) hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory (oral and topical), anti-ulcer, antimicrobial, anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-viral.
These are examples of many of the chemical constituents that Noni contains, plus there are many more. The wonder and miracle of Noni is that all this is found in one plant. Instead of taking many supplements for differing ailments, which can often knock the finely tuned balance of our body out of kilter, Nature has provided us with one super-plant which gives us so many of the nutrients we need to sustain ourselves in optimum health. Life Health Noni is 100% pure, organically certified Noni juice.
Stay healthy!
