Noni Fruit, Potassium, and You

Morinda citrifolia, also known as Noni fruit, is a powerful food for healing. But recently, Noni has come under fire for the high levels of potassium it contains, which can be dangerous to some people. I want to address what small risk there is, clear up some misconceptions, and assure you that for most people, Noni fruit is beneficial in part because of its potassium levels.

Here are some facts about potassium, Noni fruit, and how they interact in your body.

Noni Fruit is a Good Source of Potassium

One of the many beneficial compounds in raw Noni fruit is potassium. Potassium is very important for the body, and the Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get 4.7 grams of potassium a day. That’s quite a bit!

For comparison, apples contain .2 grams of potassium, bananas contain .5 grams, and one serving of Hawaiian Organic Noni fruit leather contains .06 grams. If your body processes potassium normally, you’d have to eat a LOT of Noni Fruit Leather to even reach the recommended daily value, much less exceed it!

Here are just a few of the benefits of potassium in the body:

• Reduced risk of stroke
• Lower blood pressure
• Protects against loss of muscle mass
• Preservation of bones
• Reduced risk of kidney stones

Symptoms of potassium deficiency include weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, bloating, constipation, cardiac arrhythmia, and more.

For most people, the challenge is getting enough potassium, not worrying about getting too much.

Not All Noni Products are Created Equal

All of the cases linking Noni with dangerous levels of blood potassium were cases of individuals taking Noni juice. None of these cases are related to raw Noni, or Noni Fruit Leather made from raw Noni pulp. There are a lot of reasons why this is the case.

Noni juice is usually mixed with other kinds of fruit juice, or artificially sweetened to mask the taste. The added sugars cause blood sugar spikes, which actually weaken the kidneys. Diabetes is a huge risk factor for kidney disease, and people who have diabetes or who are at risk shouldn’t drink fruit juices with added sugar.

But Noni fruit leather contains no added sugars at all, and actually improves body’s ability to process potassium.  Research has identified over 165 beneficial compounds in the raw pulp of Noni Fruit.  Noni Fruit Leather from Hawaiian Organic Noni is raw food to feed the cells of the body. It contains compounds that normalize blood pressure, strengthen the heart, and fight diabetes by stabilizing blood sugar levels.

These benefits can even help get you off some of those medications that artificially raise blood potassium levels!

Noni juice is also fermented in order to preserve it, a process which destroys many of these beneficial compounds. It’s easy to see how Noni juice could worsen the body’s ability to process potassium, by causing blood sugar spikes and not supporting the kidneys and heart.

But Noni Fruit Leather is a raw, whole food, containing beneficial levels of potassium. Potassium is necessary for a healthy body, and many people are deficient in it. For most people, Noni is a great supplement for many nutrients, including potassium.

How to use:  Apply daily to the affected area, up to several times per day. You’ll feel some immediate relief, and over time, you can see long-term results.

Overnight Face Mask

You can get even more benefits by leaving noni lotion on your face overnight. This gives all those beneficial compounds time to really sink in and make an impact. You’ll wake up with fresher, revitalized skin.

How to use: Either the Noni Lavender Lotion or the Noni Bio Bandage can make a great mask. The Lavender Lotion will be a thinner mask, and the Bio Bandage will be thicker. Either way, spread a thin even coat on your clean face. Let it dry completely, and leave in place overnight, or for as long as you’d like. We recommend doing this about once per month, or more frequently if you desire.

Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Noni helps add collagen back into your skin, giving you a more youthful appearance. It’s a great, all-natural treatment for wrinkles. Over time, the results can be amazing.

Our friend Noni Bob has been doing Demos for us applying our lotions to Tourist for over 15 years in Honolulu.  He became our first experiment on the anti-aging properties of noni applied topically. He notice that in 30 days of applying our Noni Lavender Lotion to his right arm, his age spots disappeared, his skin was soft and smooth plus the wrinkles began to fade away.  In doing the Demos, he applied noni to one arm and not the other. The difference is astonishing.

How to use: Apply to the whole face, neck, and other areas of concern 1-2 times per day. Around the eyes, mouth and other highly impacted areas, you may want to leave a thicker coat of lotion on your skin for several minutes before rubbing it in.

Hand Treatment

Your hands can be one of the first areas to show aging. There’s very little fat on the backs of your hands, so when collagen begins to break down, there’s very little buffer. Treatments that increase collagen, moisturize the skin, and improve skin tone can make a big difference. Lavender Noni Lotionis a great option.

How to use: Apply a thick coat of noni lotion to damp hands, giving them a good massage for about 30 seconds.  Relax your hands, and let the lotion sink in for up to several minutes. You can rinse off the excess, or rub it on another part of your body.

Exfoliation

When dead skin cells build up on the surface of your skin, several things happen. First, your skin’s appearance is visually impacted, appearing more dull and less vibrant. In addition, you form a layer that can trap oils under the surface of the skin, causing enlarged pores and acne.

It’s very important to frequently use a gentle, all-natural exfoliant like Lavender Noni Lotion to clear away dead skin.

How to use: Rub into your skin until the lotion goes dry. You’ll notice little balls forming on your skin. That’s the lotion getting to work exfoliating! We recommend exfoliating with noni once per week.

Foot Calluses

Foot calluses are very common, but fortunately, they can easily be treated. Calluses form when a part of your foot sustains a lot more pressure or friction on a regular basis. It’s your skin’s way of toughening up.

Having a little bit of callus isn’t a bad thing—it can prevent blistering. But they can easily become very unsightly, and even painful. It’s a good idea to treat them regularly to keep them from getting out of hand.

How to use: Soak your foot in warm water for about 20 minutes. Then scrub the callused area with a brush or pumice stone. Apply noni lotion liberally, then trap in the moisture by wearing cotton socks for a few hours.

Scalp Treatment

Don’t forget – your scalp is skin too! And just like the skin on your face or anywhere else, it needs some maintenance. Your scalp can get dry and flaky if it’s not properly moisturized. Just like with the skin on your face, getting dried out can actually cause oil to build up and clog your hair follicles.

Noni lotion is a great scalp treatment, which can rehydrate the scalp, clear away oil build-up, and even prevent hair loss.

How to use: Apply to your scalp with a cotton ball or your fingers. The best way to do this is to start in the middle and make little parts, one at a time, about one inch apart. Apply the lotion to the parts until your whole scalp has a light coat of lotion. Then spend several minutes massaging the lotion into your scalp. Let the lotion sit on your skin for about 20 minutes before washing it out. Do this about once per month.

Hair Mask

Noni is great for your hair as well! Many hair products and hair masks on the market today contain tiny amounts of noni extract, but you can get a much better effect from raw noni pulp, which is what our Lavender Noni Lotion is made of.

How to use: Apply to damp hair until all your hair is coated lightly. Wrap up your hair in an old towel or even in plastic wrap. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, and then rinse out thoroughly.

Noni and Its Diabetes-Fighting Abilities

The noni tree, or morindacitrifolia is a tree native to tropical regions, including Australia, the Pacific Islands, and Southeast Asia. It is known primarily for its fruit, which resembles a small potato and is known by many names, including "cheese fruit" and "beach mulberry." Because of its very strong smell and often bitter flavor, it is used sparingly in some dishes, as are the leaves and even roots of the tree. However, the noni is quickly becoming famous for another reason – it's potential as a treatment for diabetes.

Various parts of the tree have been used to treat things like kidney disease, malaria, wounds, fevers, fractures arthritis, bladder infections boils and more. Noni can also help fight diabetes. Here's where things get interesting. Studies of diabetes around the world have discovered many interesting factors that help prevent or treat diabetes in native populations. Tropical fruits feature predominantly in these studies. The combination of antioxidants and low natural sugars makes Noni an ideal natural food to help with diabetic conditions. In fact, the true traditional use by Polynesians and Hawaiians for thousands of years was to simply eat the raw fruit everyday as a natural preventative – to keep themselves healthy!

It's easy to stop at this point and deride noni fruit as one of those "supplements" that is supposed to solve problems but really just exists to make money. Except in this case the scientific research is actually turning up evidence that noni fruit can make a real difference. Studies in lab rats have shown that noni extract can help keep diabetic conditions under control as long as the extract is taken continually. Other studies have confirmed the ability of the Noni to help restore blood sugar levels and address the inflammation of edema.

Noni is an extremely delicate resource and must be handled properly to ensure it retains its most potent phytochemical properties.

Products made entirely of raw noni deliver the best results.

Noni works best alone, specifically when used topically as a raw lotion, not as an extract. Some companies advertise noni as an ingredient in their products; however, it's typically only a very small percentage of the ingredients.

Use Noni Lavender Lotion externally to help achieve the great-looking skin you are seeking.

Noni Can Help Normalize My Blood Pressure

According to the Centers for Disease, Control and Prevention, approximately 68 million Americans are affected by high blood pressure. This insidious condition is also known as the “silent killer” because complications in connection with the illness do not appear until it is in its advance stage. These difficulties can result in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems as well as kidney failure. Fortunately, there is an ally available in helping individuals with hypertension to lower blood pressure - it is called Noni Fruit Leather.

About Blood Pressure

Whether blood pressure is high, low, or normal depends on different components including the output of blood from the heart, the resistance of the vascular system, and how the volume of blood is disseminated throughout the body.


When the heart pumps blood through the arterial blood vessels, the fluid presses against the walls of the arteries. In individuals who suffer from hypertension, this force is extremely high. Repeated bouts of elevated pressure contribute to the perplexities that were listed earlier.

Raw vs. Processed Noni Powders and Juice

What had made the difference for Dr. Jorgenson is that he was now getting Noni Fruit Leather; instead of overly processed Noni juice or Noni powered capsules. Noni Fruit Leather is made from 100 percent organic non-fermented Noni pulp from the whole raw Noni fruit with no additives or preservatives. This means that individuals are receiving all the phytochemical components that reside in Noni fruit which are beneficial in helping to fight against problems that can arise in the body.


Many companies proclaim their products have Noni in them; unfortunately, there may be more filler and very little Noni. It should be utilized the way the natives have eaten it for hundreds of years, consumed raw. To normalize and maintain the blood pressure, Noni has to maintain its full potency within the product, or it is a waste of money.


Overall, the news about 100 percent raw Noni Fruit Leather from Hawaiian Organic Noni for high blood pressure issues is encouraging. Recent reports are coming in from researches on how this fabulous fruit is supportive for heart health as well as lowering LDL (bad cholesterol), triglyceride and more. It seems as though making raw Noni Fruit Leather a part of your daily lifestyle is a wise choice.
