General Description

Noni is a tropical fruit that is grown in the Pacific Islands. It has been successfully used for over 2000 years in Polynesia to treat a variety of illnesses. The most beneficial Noni is grown organically in pollution free volcanic soil. James Howenstine, MD, and other medical doctors report that the Nutramedix Noni extract can eliminate the symptoms associated with colds and flu within 3 to 4 hours. Physicians report that 30 ml (one ounce) of Nutramedix Noni extract is as effective as up to 8 liters or 8 quarts of Noni juice from other companies.

Patient Reports

“Noni is a very good supplement and helps with immune system.” – M.Z

"I bought this after reading an article about how it can knock out colds and flu within hours. I used it several times when I felt like I was fighting a cold and never got the cold. However, the real test came a few days ago when I was traveling with my 14 and 17-year-old. They both started complaining of bad sore throats and felt like they were getting sick. I pulled out the Noni, (I always know when my kids are actually sick because it is the only time they're willing to take supplements.) Ever skeptical about anything mom gives them, they nonetheless took it and were both amazed when they actually felt better within hours. Great stuff!!" -R.P.

“This noni worked Really well preventing me from having gout attacks!” – D.D
