Pura
Vitta Noni Juice
Pura
Vitta Noni Juice has a high Noni fruit concentration,
mixed with grape natural juice for better taste.
If you know how the Noni fruit smells or tastes,
you will recognize the difference between Pura
Vitta and other brands. We use fresh Noni fruit
pulp.
Our
Noni plantations are located very near the manufacturing
plant; we do not use dried Noni fruit, frozen
or pulverized (from other regions) to make our
Noni Juice. We rather use fresh organic Noni
fruit.
Our
Noni Juice is pasteurized.
Doing this process does not damage or affects
the noni properties. Noni juice should always
be pasteurized for your protection.
Pura
Vitta Noni juice sells since the year 2000 in
Latin America, Bahamas, Europe and the Middle
East.
The
fruit recollection and juice production is done
under strict supervision.
We
do not use fertilizers or pesticides in our
Noni farms, making our product 100% organic.
No additives or preservatives are added to our
Noni Juice.
Pura Vitta produces its Noni Juice in thick,
dark glass bottles to protect the product from
light; also, glass is the best type of container
for this product.
Pura Vitta Noni Juice has a life expectancy
of 2 years before opening. After opening, keep
refrigerated.

II. Origins of the Noni
fruit
The Noni shrub or small tree occurs in India, Antilles
(general), Asia, Central America (general), and Oceania
including Australia (Missouri Botanical
Gardens). According to some references (Krauss,
1993; Uhe, 1974; Whistler, 1992), the consumption
was limited to times of famine due to the rather bitter
taste and foul odor of the ripe fruits.
Due to the presence of anthraquinone derivatives in
roots and bark, these parts of the plant have been
used as sources for coloring (dye) agents (Thomson,
1971), a use for which Noni remained popular
in Polynesia, Asia and Europe until the 1950s.
Morinda citrifolia L. has been used in Polynesia as
folk medicine (Hirazumi, 1997),
and the fruit, flower, leaves, bark and root of the
fruit have all been used for diverse medicinal purposes,
as the Scientific Committee on Food’s Opinion
on Noni juice (11 December 2002) describes in greater
detail.
The Noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia L.) grows
native in Panama. The Noni fruit used in the preparation
of Pura Vitta Noni Juice is native from Panama; the
species used in the elaboration of “Pura Vitta
Noni Juice” is Morinda citrifolia L.
A study made by Missouri Botanical Gardens
in 1980, called “Flora of Panama”, shows
that Morinda citrifolia L. is native from Panama.
