Noni Juice FAQ’s
What is noni?
Noni is a type of fruit from a tree found in Southeast Asia and Australasia, and its juice is widely considered to be a health tonic. Bearing the scientific name Morinda citrifolia, the noni fruit is greenish-white and has bumps on the outside, which has earned it the name cheese fruit. The noni tree is also in the coffee family of plants!
What is noni juice?
Noni juice is extracted from the noni fruit, which comes from a tree in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. The juice has been used for thousands of years as a traditional remedy in certain Southeast Asian countries and has now become popularized in the rest of the world. While some of the claims of what this sweet juice can do for health has been hotly debated, the anecdotal and traditional evidence is strong.
How to prepare noni juice?
You can prepare noni juice yourself, but it will take some effort. Noni fruit must be picked before they are ripe, then washed thoroughly and placed in the sun for 2-3 hours. At that point, the skin will be translucent and the fruit will begin to smell quite bad. Then, put the fruit in a clear jar and place it in the sun for 6-8 weeks. The fruit will ferment, and after that time, you can strain out the juice, which will have seeped out of the fruit.
Where to buy noni juice?
Noni juice is not as widely available as other types of fruit juices, but since the health benefits have been discovered, you can buy it at chain stores such as Walmart. Buying noni juice online is also a popular option, as cultivating noni trees outside tropical or subtropical regions isn’t easy. You can also buy noni juice from traditional medicine practitioners, particularly in tropical areas.
What does noni mean?
What is noni juice good for?
Noni juice can be used for a variety of health issues, including preventing parasitic diseases, lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation throughout the body, speeding up the healing process, and eliminating oxidative stress.
How to Use
Where can you buy noni juice? Some of the most popular types are grown in Hawaii, Polynesian Islands, and Tahiti and Costa Rica. If you aren’t visiting these countries, look for noni products in health food stores or online.
How to drink noni juice:
This fruit juice is usually combined with other juices to improve the taste.
Noni may remind you of a mango in size and color, but it doesn’t contain the sweetness that the mango holds. The fruit is bitter, and this is why it’s really more of a healing tonic than a refreshing juice beverage.
You can juice fresh noni fruit at home if you have a juicer, or you can purchase already-made noni juice at specialty grocery stores or online. Some juices are fermented which can result in higher concentrations of healthy bacteria, although studies suggest the level of microbiological substances and antioxidants depends on the exact type of noni and processing methods used.
How much should you drink? Most people should aim to stick to about 6 to 8 ounces daily, which has been associated with health improvements and won’t contribute too much sugar to your diet. That being said, up to 25 ounces daily seems to be safe for most adults, as demonstrated in certain studies.
Here’s how to make noni juice at home:
- It takes about six noni fruits to yield eight ounces of juice.
- By adding some fresh lemon juice or grape juice, you can create a more pleasant taste.
- You can also add chopped noni to your smoothie, morning yogurt or oatmeal, or cook it in your vegetables sautéed and serve it over rice.

Health Benefits
1. Packs an Antioxidant Punch
Noni and grapeseed oil are two sources that provide a variety of antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, beta-carotene, catechins and flavonoids. Foods that provide antioxidants help reduce damage caused to cells due to oxidative stress, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Because oxidative stress is linked to so many health problems, benefits of noni juice may include lowering your risk for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and age-related macular degeneration. Recently, it’s also been associated with reductions in obesity and obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction, thanks to its positive influence on the microbiome and gut health.
2. May Fight Pain Associated with Tumors
Can noni juice cure cancer? While there isn’t evidence that it’s a cancer treatment, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reports that noni — as well as ginkgo biloba, isoflavones, pomegranate and grapeseed extract — may be cancer-fighting foods that can help with prevention by supporting the immune system.
In particular, the anticancer properties of anthraquinones, such as ucidin, alizarin, and rubiadin, make noni a superfruit of interest.
3. Combats Inflammation and Boosts Immunity
Research in the Journal of Natural Products showed that fermented noni fruit juice contains “a new fatty acid, a new ascorbic acid derivative, and a new iridoid glycoside, a metabolite important for metabolism,” along with 13 other compounds.
The study demonstrated detoxification benefits of noni due to the presence of enzymes known as quinone reductase. This suggests that noni juice can act as a strong anti-inflammatory food.
These traits may help reduce the effects of arthritis, according to research studies. By adding noni juice into your diet, you may be able to reduce symptoms tied to inflammation such as joint pain.
May reduce cellular damage from tobacco smoke
Noni juice may reduce cellular damage — particularly from tobacco smoke.
Exposure to tobacco smoke generates dangerous amounts of free radicals. Excessive amounts can cause cellular damage and lead to oxidative stress ( 14 ).
Oxidative stress is associated with many ailments, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Studies show that consuming foods rich in antioxidants may reduce oxidative stress ( 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ).
In one study, heavy tobacco smokers were given 4 ounces (118 ml) of noni juice per day. After 1 month, they experienced a 30% reduction of two common free radicals compared to their baseline levels ( 19 ).
Tobacco smoke is also known to cause cancer. Certain chemicals from tobacco smoke may bind to cells in your body and lead to tumor growth ( 13 , 14 ).
Noni juice may reduce levels of these cancer-causing chemicals. Two clinical trials found that drinking 4 ounces (118 ml) of noni juice daily for 1 month reduced the levels of cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smokers by about 45% ( 13 , 20 ).
Yet, noni juice does not negate all of smoking’s negative health effects — and should not be considered a replacement for quitting.
