How Athletes use Noni Juice:
recovery after training,
enhanced performance and
recovery after injury

Athletes use noni in a number of situations.

This page provides links to articles that allow spoprts people to speak for themselves about its impact on recovery from injury and work outs and enhanced performance.

Q: What has noni juice got to offer athletes and sports people?A: Quite a lot!

Perhaps it’s not surprising that noni - the plant that the Polynesian islanders used to power their long sea journeys - has a great reputation with sports people. Today, athletes use noni in similar ways.

Noni has a role to play in decreasing recovery time; in promoting rapid healing after injury and in developing lean muscle mass.

TAHITIAN NONI Juice™ (that is, the product developed by Tahitian Noni International™) has also passed stringent quality control checks of the Morinda Corporation™ AND it has passed an athletic banned substance screening programme (see the link below to TNI™ press release).

This page is a gateway to a series of articles on noni for athletes and sportspeople.

I provide a brief introduction to the topics here – if they interest you, use the links to go to more detailed information about how athletes use noni.

Oxidative damage and antioxidant activity of noni juice

First, you might like to use the navigation button to check out the antioxidants page (and the link there to the page on oxidative stress). If you’re familiar with this information in general, I’ve prepared a page specifically looking at oxidative stress for sports men and women.

You might be interested to know that a lot of the research on major antioxidants (vitamins A, C and E) found no evidence that they improved performance and little to suggest they decrease oxidative damage.

And boosting antioxidants at the wrong time can inhibit the action of your natural defences.

Athletes use noni to promote recovery from injury

Terrell Owens – at the time 31 year old wide receiver for the Philadeplphia Eagles - told this story to reporters … and it has been featured on national television news in the USA.

On 19th December 2004, he suffered a broken leg and serious damage to the ankle. This needed surgery. He told reporters that he would be ready to play in the Super Bowl early February 2005 … if the Eagles made it.

More details of his recovery and quotes here.

TAHITIAN NONI® juice is clear of substances banned for athletes

In order for top flight athletes to use noni, it must be scrutinised for banned substances. If you take your training and competition seriously, you'll want to know that any products you use have been stringently quality checked and that they are clear of banned substances.

In December 2005, Tahitian Noni International® announced that its core product - TAHITIAN NONI® juice passed ConsumerLab.com's Athletic Banned Substance Screening Program.
