Iridoids are The primary bioactives in noni are iridoids. Iridoids have been scientifically proven to eliminate harmful free radicals, control cholesterol, increase energy, promote heart health, enhance the immune system, reduce inflammation, prevent cell mutation, and support healthy brain activity.
Iridoids are powerful phytochemicals produced by plants as a defense against infection and other threats. Iridoids are not common in fruits.
Iridoids at a Glance: Are super bioactive phytochemicals that are rarely found in fruits. They are different than flavonoids, which are found in all fruits. Iridoids are very stable and are resistant to degradation during processing and storage, unlike many flavonoids which degrade rapidly through storage and heat exposure. Iridoids are the major bioactives* in Noni.

Dr. Mian Ying Wang, M.D. and M.S., Research Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology, UIC College of Medicine at Rockford, Illinois has a hypothesis that suggested TNJ may possess a cancer preventive effect at the initiation stage of chemical carcinogenesis, by preventing the carcinogen-DNA adduct formation and/or antioxidant activity.
After 50 years of study, Dr. Ralph Heinicke proposed his new hypothesis—the xeronine system. He has found an essential nutrient in Morinda citrifolia that he named proxeronine. According to his theory, a deficiency of this material can lead to various health problems. Proxeronine is the molecule that the cell uses to synthesize xeronine. Xeronine may be an alkaloid essential to life. He endorses TNJ as the best source of proxeronine. Today proxeronine is known as the bioactive compound Iridoid.
Tahitian Noni® Liquid Supplement or Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverage is made from the fruits of Morinda citrifolia grown in virgin and tropical soils in the Tahitian Islands. The pollution free environment and the volcanic soil in these islands produce the best quality and potent Noni fruit. Noni has an abundance of bioactive compounds/micronutrients and has been used by the native Tahitians for over 2000 years as a nutritional supplement to treat diseases and promote general good health. Among the more than 160 identified chemicals in noni, the major components are Iridoids. Dr. Neil Solomon summarized 15,000 cases of TN Bioactive users, and found the total effective rate of the medicinal beverage on various health problems, including cancer, to be 78%.
Morinda citrifolia or noni is a medicinal plant called Indian mulberry in India, ba ji tian in China, nono in Tahiti, and noni in Hawaii. It has been reported to have a broad range of therapeutic effects — anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, anti-fungal, antibiotic, antiviral, anticancer, and hypotensive — as well as functioning as a painkiller.
