Noni: the superfruit for greater resistance and vitality

What is noni?

Noni or the Indian mulberry (Morinda citrifolia) is a tropical fruit that grows on small evergreen trees. The green-coloured fruits are oval in shape, have a rough and uneven surface and can grow to a length of 12 centimetres. Indigenous peoples have been using these fruits for centuries because of the numerous health benefits they offer. Nowadays, noni is recognised as a superfood that supports the body’s natural resistance and improves both mental and physical performance.

Origin and growth

This fruit grows in warm, moist climates in places like South-east Asia, the Caribbean and islands in the Pacific Ocean, where they are primarily found in coastal regions and wooded areas. Thanks to the air pocket contained in the seeds, the fruits can float on water. This made it possible for the geographical distribution of noni to be spread via sea currents, a process that was further assisted by the seeds’ resistance to salt water.

How is noni processed?

Biotona bio Noni juice is obtained from noni fruits cultivated in Tahiti. The fruits first ripen for a period of between 2 and 4 weeks, following which they are harvested as soon as the skin turns yellow in colour. After a thorough cleaning with water, the fruits are placed in a vat, where the juice is released through cold pressing. This natural process, known as the dripping method, makes use of the weight of the accumulated fruits to create a natural form of downwards pressure. The collected juice ferments for a further 12 weeks, which gives it a distinctive flavour and fragrance. The juice is then filtered to separate out any remaining flesh, before being heated for just a few seconds to a temperature of 75°C (pasteurisation), which ensures both its quality and its longevity.

Biotona opts for the use of 100% pure noni juice. However, this brown fluid has a very bitter taste, so that it is often mixed with other fruit juices, such as mango or passion fruit, to soften this bitterness and to make its consumption more pleasant.

Scientific insights: proxeronine and xeronine

In 1985, the biochemist Ralph Heinicke discovered that this fruit is rich in proxeronine. Once inside the body, this substance is converted into xeronine. Xeronine assists in the regulation of proteins and supports cell recovery. This makes noni an adaptogen, which means that it helps to keep the body in balance and adjust to stress.
