If you're interested in herbal medicine, you may have heard of noni, the fruit of a Polynesian plant that's commonly called the Indian mulberry or lada plant, Morinda citrifolia. The fleshy, yellowish fruit has been part of traditional medicine for centuries, recommended by practitioners for many different ailments. Consumed as fresh or fermented juice in some parts of the world, noni fruit extract is also available as a supplement in capsules. Modern research suggests that noni capsules may have significant benefits, helping keep you healthy and disease-free. | |||
:Antimicrobial Properties | |||
Natural compounds in noni supplements may help prevent or slow the growth of several microorganisms that can cause infectious diseases, according to the findings of some research studies. For example, a study published in the July-September 2012 issue of the "Journal of Conservative Dentistry" reported that treatment of dental shavings with noni extract resulted in 86 percent inhibition of growth of pathogenic bacteria, compared to untreated specimens. Another study published in 2006 in the "American Journal of Chinese Medicine" found that noni extract interfered with growth of fungal organisms, including Candida albicans, which causes vaginal yeast infections. These findings led the authors to conclude that noni may have potential as a therapy for this and other fungal disorders. | |||
:Anti-Cancer Benefits | |||
Compounds in noni supplements may have significant anti-cancer properties, according to research summarized by experts at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, who suggest that noni might slow growth of cancerous tumors. For example, a laboratory study published in 2013 in the "Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention" found that noni extract was nearly as effective as a chemotherapy drug in killing cultured cervical cancer cells. The authors concluded that noni induces cancer cells to die through an irreversible process called apoptosis. Other laboratory studies summarized by the cancer center experts support noni's ability to prevent or slow growth of cancer cells, but this possible benefit still needs confirmation in clinical trials with human subjects. | |||
:Other Benefits | |||
Noni supplements may also help boost your immune system and increase your resistance to pathogens. Research published in the July 2010 issue of "Pharmaceutical Biology" found that noni extract increases growth of different types of immune cells, including B and T lymphocytes, by up to about 44 percent in cultured cells and in laboratory animals. Noni compounds might also improve blood cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health, according to current research. In one clinical study involving 132 adult smokers, published in "Scientific World Journal" in 2012, subjects who consumed noni juice for one month had lower levels of cholesterol, unhealthy triglycerides and other cardiovascular risk markers compared to a placebo group. | |||
:The Supplement | |||
Noni supplements are available in capsule form from most health food stores. No minimum effective dosage of noni has been established, but consuming up 500 milligrams daily is considered safe and without significant side effects for healthy adults. Noni's safety hasn't been confirmed during pregnancy or breast-feeding, and no one with kidney disease should consume it because of its high content of potassium. Noni supplements might interact with some medications, including chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners and other prescription medicines. Discuss use of noni with your doctor to decide if it might be helpful for you. | |||
