Iridoids Could Be Nature's Masterpiece
Noni boasts a wide range of health benefits. At the heart of all these benefits are the unique chemical compounds called iridoids.
The results of a study comparing iridoid counts in noni fruit across the world showed that noni from French Polynesia contained the highest iridoid levels with noni from the Dominican Republic containing the lowest.1
Additional studies reveal that the iridoids in noni have anti-genotoxic activity, meaning they protect DNA.2 Additional studies show that the iridoids display a wide range of bioactivity including immune support, heart health, antioxidant benefits, and more.*3-4
If there's a key to great all-around health, the iridoids in noni might be it.
