Best Noni contains pure dried Morinda citrifolia fruit, commonly known as “Noni.” The Morinda citrifolia plant has a long herbal history in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, and is considered beneficial for a wide variety of uses. Noni fruit, recognized as a valuable food source and approved by the U.S. government since World War II, contains vitamin C and other nutritious substances. Noni has been shown to be effective against fatigue. Research suggests it supports joint function and the control of the inflammatory response, and helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.* Noni: Traditional Folk Remedy Morinda citrifolia is well known throughout tropical regions of Asia, the South Pacific and the Caribbean. There are no fewer than 40 common names for this remarkable plant. In the South Pacific, the fruit of Morinda citrifolia goes by the name “Noni.” Highly esteemed for its nutritional value, Noni was approved by the U.S. government during World War II as a food for American soldiers in the Pacific. Noni is also a prized traditional folk remedy among Pacific island cultures and is considered useful for a wide variety of ailments.* Pharmaceutical research has uncovered a number of active constituents in the roots, leaves and fruit of Morinda citrifolia. In addition to vitamin C, Noni fruit contains antibacterial compounds and beneficial polysaccharides.* Stimulates Cell Repair Noni fruit has recently been found to contain a substance called “proxeronine,” which is believed to increase body levels of an alkaloid called “xeronine.” Preliminary unpublished investigations indicate that xeronine is vital for the regeneration of cell structures and maintenance of cellular functions. This intriguing discovery may in large measure explain Noni’s wide range of reported beneficial effects.* Supports Immune Function Anecdotal clinical reports on the use of Noni fruit include improvement in the body’s resistance to viruses, yeast, fungi, and bacteria. These observations are supported by current research studies performed at the University of Hawaii. Noni fruit extracts showed an ability to enhance the immune response in mice.* Noni is safe and free of side effects. As a supplement, it should be taken on an empty stomach to prevent breakdown by stomach acid of the natural enzymes present in Noni fruit.

Q. What are your capsules made of? A. Doctor's Best capsules are typical gelatin capsules, with the exception of select products now available in veggie cap form. They are made of gelatin from cattle, like the familiar "Knox gelatin" sold in grocery stores.
The gelatin used to make Doctor's Best's capsules is manufactured in accordance with strict guidelines that ensure it is BSE-free. The FDA and the supplement industry approved these guidelines. The gelatin is made only from cattle living in non-BSE countries. All Doctor's Best capsules are in full compliance with the FDA's September 1997 industry guide, The Sourcing and Processing of Gelatin to Reduce the Potential Risk Posed by Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in FDA-Regulated Products for Human Use.
Q. How long does it take for a capsule to dissolve? A. Approximately 30-45 minutes. For 2-piece gelatin capsule, the USP standard for maximum dissolution time is 45 minutes.
Q. How long does it take for a tablet to dissolve? A. FDA Rules & Regulations require tablets to dissolve in 45 minutes or less. However, Doctor's Best sets its standards higher. They require that their tablets dissolve in 30 minutes or less. Every lot of products in tablet form is tested to verify that it dissolves in under 30 minutes.
Q. Can I find out how fast a capsule or tablet dissolvesby dropping it in a glass of water or vinegar at home? A. Testing dissolution times at home using vinegar is not an accurate way to learn what happens to capsules and tablets in your stomach. Because stomach acid is much stronger than vinegar, capsules and tablets dissolve much faster in the stomach than in a glass of water or vinegar. Also, the stomach continually "agitates" its contents, much like a washing machine does.

Q. Who determines what the daily dosage should be? And how is this done? A. A panel of scientists at The Natural Academy of Sciences performs extensive research, ongoing clinical studies and scientific testing in order to determine the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake).
Q. I see that Silicon Dioxide has been used as an excipient in some of your products. Should I be concerned? A. Silicon Dioxide is a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) food additive. Numerous studies have found the following:
The oral toxicity for humans would be greater than 350 grams in one dose based on allometric comparisons between the mice studied and humans.
A single dose of 2,500mg of amorphous polymeric silicon dioxide to human volunteers did not significantly raise the SiO2 excretion in the urine. This suggests poor absorption of silicon dioxide (Langendorf 1966).
Less than one one-hundredth (1/100th) of the dose was found in urine, suggesting extremely poor absorption (Langendorf 1966).
This would suggest that there is no scientific reason to eliminate silicon dioxide as an excipient at the very low levels found in dietary supplements.
Q. Why is silicon dioxide used as an excipient in Doctor’s Best products? Why are excipients used at all? A. Silicon Dioxide is used as a flow agent to enable "sticky" substances to flow through the encapsulation equipment. If silicon dioxide were not used, other flow agents would have to be used which would actually increase the number of excipients found in a given product. Ideally, the fewer excipients used, the better.
Q. Is there a limit to how many vitamins can be taken safely in one day? A. Our bodies need vitamins and minerals, and if taken in large amounts, vitamins and minerals can adversely affect health. Large amounts of anything can be toxic. Our best advice is to work with a nutritionally aware doctor and follow label directions. |
