Noni fruit juice is able to reduce the blood sugar level in patients with diabetes.

What is it about?

Noni fruit Juice has a direct action on the storage of glucose into fat, liver and muscle cells. It also enhances the excretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells. Because of the direct action on the target cells, it helps not only patients with diabetes type 2 but also type 1.Beside ist antidiabetic effects, noni juice exerts numerous other beneficial effects for the maintanance and restoration of health, which are typical for adaptogenic plants. The compounds responsible for the effect are most probably iridoids, such as deactelyl asperlosidic acid (DAA). In another publication (Basar-Maurer, S., Hackl, T., Schwedhelm, E., and Westendorf, J. (2016) Pharmacokinetic of 3H-deacetylasperulosidic acid in mice. Functional Foods in Health and Disease 6 (8), 478-492), we showed that the glycoside DAA is absorbed and excreted without metabolic alteration. A possible explanation is that the iridoids induce the adaptogenic effects via bitter taste receptors.
