What Can Noni Juice Do for Your Body?
Noni juice is a dietary supplement extracted from the exotic fruit noni, and is commonly marketed as a

general health tonic. Manufacturers promote noni for lowering cholesterol, promoting healthy blood sugar

levels and for cancer fighting benefits. As with all dietary supplements, speak with your doctor before

taking noni juice, especially if you have any existing health conditions. Clinical data exists to support some

of the potential benefits of noni. However, there is safety information you should know.

Promotes Healthy Cholesterol
Because smoking cigarettes is a lifestyle factor that promotes inflammation and high cholesterol,

researchers examined whether noni juice helps combat this issue in smokers by lowering cholesterol. This

particular double-blind study involved 132 heavy smokers. For the research study, they drank noni juice

daily for 30 days. The study found that drinking 9.9 milliliters to 188 milliliters, or 1 to 6 ounces daily,

significantly reduced cholesterol and triglycerides. The results were published in the October 2012 issue

of "Science World Journal."

Promote Healthy Blood Sugar
Although human studies are needed, the results of animal data show promise for the ability of noni juice

to exert beneficial effects on blood sugar. Researchers gave diabetic mice 2 milliliters of noni juice per

kilogram of body weight daily for 20 days to examine its effects. This resulted in a significant reduction in

blood-glucose levels, providing support for its potential as a blood sugar-lowering agent. The results of the

study were published in the October 2010 issue of the journal "Evidence-Based Complementary and

Alternative Medicine."

Potential Ant-Cancer Benefits
Noni juice appears to possess anti-cancer activity, according to a study in the October 2012 issue of the

journal "Phytotherapy Research." Researchers examined existing clinical studies and found that a

substance in noni juice exerted a small degree of anti-cancer activity. However, they were unable to

determine which substance is responsible for potential anti-cancer benefits. Researchers noted that

isolating and researching the active compound warrants further research. The results were published in

the October 2012 edition of the journal "Phytotherapy Research."
