Beware - there is much stuff out there, espcially on the internet, focusing only on the "positive" data thanks to those trying to market the product.

Thank you for your interest...
As i see on your investigation and on my investigations generally, results are positive.
But i wanna learn that if any negative result possibility for long time usage on healthy people, who just wanna boost their immune system, etc...

well if you read the first refernce in the list it is a case report of somoene suffering from acute hepatitis after taking too much NONI.

do you know any scientific investigatement about Noni root? can u give to me the journal or any information regarding to the compounds inside the root of morinda citrifolia as a guideline for me to do the research....tq

Here is a link to a referenced monograph on Noni which gives a fairly balanced view of the evidence of Noni's effectiveness and includes info on active constituents http://www.healthnotes.info/http/gclcatalog/getContent.cfm?catid=13&startrow=1&org=DSEA&ContentID=2136001

Here are the references used within the link from tbc's previous post which focus on the active constituent of noni appear to be polysaccharides and a compound known as damnacanthal.
