and I'm not really sure why.

Cool bottle, neat box, all natural. I've heard it's supposed to be good for you but I'm not sure how or why.

Any Noni heads out there?

1. Joani turned me on to the Juice....
I have major health problems...

I have been stable or better every day since I started the Juice....

Also, my bottles have pic's of Thaitian men, rowing across the Pacific Ocean in little boats... If they drink this stuff and can get to an Isalnad 2,000 miles away, it must be good......

2. It's really good stuff. I get it at Costco, it's not too much there
The taste just takes some getting used to.

4. That's where I got it. Still felt it was a bit expensive for bottled
fruit juice. An oz a day, not too bad at that I guess.

3. Of course it's good for you. It's made from fruit.
Vitamins and minerals, lots of potassium, too. At, what, $20/gallon, I'll stick with apple, cranberry, etc. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but the hype and marketing (profit) would make many uneasy.

FYI, there's a study going on that concludes sometime this year that is testing noni with cancer patients. I don't know anything about it, other than it's happening. It's the first major study not funded by one that profits from noni sales (I think...don't quote me).

Drink up, though!

6. Many noni growers and suppliers on the island here.
PM me if you want me to look for a cheaper source for you.

7. If it's Morinda's, you did not waste your money
Any other brand is crap. Read up on the research Morinda has done on noni. Pretty amazing. I don't go a day without it. Have been taking it for 5 years. Talk about managing arthritis pain!
