The fruit has a sour, unpleasant taste, so manufacturers traditionally sweeten the juice or mix it with grape juice. The problem with that is, in the processing many of the traditional benefits are lost, just as in other foods. It is also available in tablets and capsules from the ground up fruit and leaves. Noni is high in potassium so is not recommended for people with kidney problems, pregnant women, and people who should restrict potassium in their diets.
Noni is also applied topically to the skin for anti-aging and as a moisturizer. Studies continue to be done to support claims of health benefits, as the juice is not nearly as effective as the whole fruit. The potassium may help repair cellular damage, stimulate the immune system, among other activities.
