Role of Noni:

Noni is known for a number of health benefits for various diseases and complains. Noni contains all the major vitamins like A, B, C & E and other minerals. A number of major components have been identified in the noni plant such as scopoletin, octoanoic acid, Potassium, terpenoids, alkaloids, Anthraquinones, Sitosterol, carotene, Flavone glycosides, Alizarin, amino acids, acubin, caproic acid and a putative proxeronine,

Noni shows antiangiogenesis effects on the malignant cells. The tumor has the ability to develop its own blood vessels around its to get their nutrition for growth by the process of angiogenesis. Many phytochemicals present in Noni like Damnacanthal, Alizarin, Limonene, Epigallocatechin gallate etc. Just a few among the 150+ phytochemicals present in Noni, that exhibit Antiangiogenesis effect on the tumor cells. Thus inhibits the growth of tumor cells and induces program cell death or apoptosis.
