How much should I take a day? What juice can it be mixed with to mask the taste?
“Pure Noni fruit is full of many nutrients like fiber, protein, carbohydrates, iron, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin c, sodium and calcium. The Noni fruit pulp is low in fruit which can be effective for weight loss. Noni juice is also said to be good source of antioxidants but Noni fruit is not as powerful in an Acai berry. Noni fruit is it is an ok source of antioxidants. Moreover all the health benefits of Noni fruit are not medically proven. The products are not standardized. One bottle might have a good level of antioxidants and the next bottle may have very less. But still it can be a god source of antioxidants because it provides you with sufficient amount of Vitamin C which is a very effective antioxidant. Noni fruit also provides you with Vitamin A also and effective source of antioxidants. Noni enhances your immune system, aids you in maintaining an ideal weight, increases energy level and strengthens the cellular system; all of these properties are of course a sign of fruit rich in antioxidants.
A good product of Noni fruit is seen as TAHITIAN NONI juice. Noni in powder form is said to three times stronger then Noni juice.

I'm not sure if Noni has the highest level of antioxidants or not… but another alternative is to juice red grapes…….red grapes are an excellent source of antioxidants……I knew someone that went to the doctor because she felt a lump in her breast…..the doc ordered a biopsy, which of course scared her to death! She went home, got out her juicer and immediately began juicing red grapes and used them as a fast for 7 days…..it was a total detox as well as high in antioxidants…..when she went back to the doctor the lump disappeared!
As far as noni…..OJ is good, but i'm not sure if the sugars effect anything…

Well, noni juice may have a very high concentration of antioxidants (depending on what study you read, and who funded the research), but I believe blueberries and prunes are more affordable for what you need them (antioxidant concentrations). Himalayan Goji Berry is another 'wonder fruit' that supposedly has the highest naturally occuring concentration of antioxidants and other health claims, but the juice is expensive to buy. Or, you can drink a few cups of green tea a day.

No; it's not. Acai berry is the highest antioxidant on earth to be found, so far.

No, it is an ok source of anitoxidants. The products are not standardized and are (of course) 99% water. One bottle might have a good level of antioxidants and the next bottle may have none.
There is only one, food-based antioxidant supplement I know of that is validated by three independant labs and is published in a peer-reviewed academic journal. It sure ain't a juice.
