R.M. Heinecke, in his studies at the University of Hawaii, discovered this fruit's secret - an alkaloid he called xeronine. Heinecke found that the Morinda citrifolia fruit contains small quantities of this xeronine, and also significant quantities of what he termed "proxeronine", a precursor to the pharmacologically active component xeronine.
It is this xeronine which is believed to provide the physiological benefits of Morinda citrifolia. R.M. Heinecke's research theorizes that the xeronine helps regulate the shape and rigidity of specific proteins. Since protein is a component in every cell wall, it is possible that the xeronine aids to transfer nutrients in and out of cells.
Currently, the University of Hawaii's Department of Pharmacology is even conducting research on the potential anticancer activity of the Morinda citrifolia fruit. The potential benefits of this tropical fruit are still being discovered.
Suggested Adult Use:
As an oral dietary supplement, adults take 2-3 capsules daily on an empty
stomach. Can be taken in divided doses; for example 1 capsule 45 minutes before
each meal. Also may be used topically. (Two capsules of Olakino Noni are
approximately equivalent to one ounce of liquid Morinda citrifolia.)
