I haven't personally tried Noni, but I understand it is touted to have impressive antioxidant properties. I'm not really a fan of these exotic fruit drinks, though. First it was Noni, then Mangosteen, now it's Acai. What will it be tomorrow? And they don't really have an impressive spectrum of essential nutrients; most of them claim to have a host of newly-discovered compounds that are responsible for most of the health benefits, with mixed research from credible and non-credible sources. Not only that, but have you seen the sugar content of some of these?? I think these things play into our "new drug" mentality; we hear of a new, previously-unknown compound discovered in some fruit and we get excited, because we're always looking for the magic cure. I say, let the body do the curing, and give it the raw materials (essential nutrients) it needs to do that. In this regard, I haven't seen a better food than brown seaweed. If some people out there are seeing benefits from fruit drinks, more power to them, but I'll stick with my Living Sea capsules.
