MarketWire:

PROVO, UT–(Marketwire - August 23, 2007) - Tahitian Noni International announced today that two new phytochemicals have now been identified in noni fruit from Tahiti that were previously unknown to the world. In a peer-reviewed study published by the prestigious Journal of Natural Products(1), it was reported that two completely new compounds, as well as seven other known compounds isolated in the study, showed potential anti-inflammatory effects. Besides the two new compounds, three of the seven known compounds were isolated for the first time in the noni fruit.

Noni fruit from Tahiti is the basis for TAHITIAN NONI® Juice, the number one selling noni juice product in the world. “For years, people have been drinking TAHITIAN NONI Juice for its healthful benefits,” stated Brett West, Director of Noni Benefits Research. “We are now beginning to isolate the specific compounds within the juice that are responsible for those benefits. We have also isolated two new compounds that are not found anywhere else in the world.” The two new compounds identified have been given the names Tahitianin A and Tahitianin B by their discoverers.
