BIO REX® NONI ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

In the NONI fruit, around 200 bioactive compounds

have been reported. The ripe fruit is especially rich in

proteins and astonishingly rich list of complex plant

secondary metabolite structures with specific medicinal

properties. These belong to the main chemical families

of glycosylated or aglycone polyphenols,

anthraquinones, bioflavonoids, phenylpropanoids,

iridoids, lignans, polyterpenes, phytosterols, sugar-

esterified medium and short-chained fatty acids, mono-

and di-glycerides, polysaccharides. As said,

fermentation processing pre-digests the fruit high-

weight macromolecular components to their easily

absorbable and less caloric break-down products, whilst

preserving and concentrating NONI’s and other fruits’

qualified precious secondary-metabolite bioactive

fractions, which are not substrates of microbial

hydrolytic activity.

A large number of these NONI ripe-fruit components,

mainly phenolic compounds, organic acids and alkaloids

of biomedical relevance have been identified, classified,

and described in terms of chemical structure-biological
