How Does Noni Work
Dr. Ralph Heinicke, a noted American biochemist, had a potentially ground-breadking revelation while studying pineapple enzymes. He realized that a certain alkaloid he called Xeronine may play a key role in encouraging proper cell function and growth in the human body. Xeronine is formed in the large intestine, where a chemical reaction occurs between Proxeronase. Dr. Heinicke realized that these two substances exist in abundance in the Noni fruit. Source: Heinicke, Ralph. "The Pharmacologically Active ingredient of Noni." Bulletin of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, 1985. According to Dr. Heinicke's research, Xeronine may help to enlarge the pores in the walls of human cells and enable nutrients to enter the cells more easily. In essence, Dr. Heinicke believes that Xeronine may improve the body's ability to make use of the nutrients thaken in after eating. Note: Synergy makes no curative claims for this product. Dr. Ralph Heinicke, researcher and chemist who received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, says some of the current "problems which Noni Juice might favorable affect are: high blood pressure, menstrual cramps, arthritis, gastric ulcers, sprains, injuries, mental depression, senility, poor digestion, atherosclerosis, blood vessel problems, drug addition, relief of pain and many others.""Although this list looks like a page torn out of a traveling medicine man's manual," he continues, "it is probably conservative." Other have since added lupus,, fibromyalgia, diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. to this group.And why does this plant help with so many different kinds of problems? For you technically-minded people, you'll appreciate the answer provided by Dr. Heinicke. Dr. Heinicke was a chemist and research scientist for Dole Pineapple for many years, studying enzymes and other nutrients. While doing research on bromelian, an enzyme, he discovered that the amount of bromelian was decreasing in the pineapple because of the depletion of nutrients in the soil due to over-farming.
However, he recognized how crucial bromelian was for good health, but he had not been able to identify the active ingredient in it, so he began to search for it. He finally identified an alkaloid, which he named xeronine, but only after a long arduous search. Heinicke then began to search for a good source of the xeronine. This seemed like it would be an easy task. After all, xeronine, an alkaloid (a substance the body produces in order to activate enzymes), is in practically all healthy cells of plants, animals and microoganisms, according to Heinicke. But, he had a hard time finding it at all because the amount of xeronine is so tiny that it is hard to locate and identify. Further, the body uses enzymes to form xeronine, utilizes the xeronine, and then breaks it down right away, so the substance itself is actually very short-lived. Further, the necessary enzymes to convert the xeronine must be present in the right place at the right time in order for the conversion to occur. So, once he understood the process of the formation of xeronine, he realized that he was actually searching for a source of proxeronine - the precursor xeronine. What he ultimately discovered was that the Noni fruit had the highest content of proxeronine to that he could find.
