The SOMA, in the Hindu mythology, was the concoction than the gods drank to assure their immortality. Since the oldest references of the use of noni were found in the old Sanskrit Hindu texts, where is mentioned its use on the part of the ayervedical medicine, we decide to take the word "SOMA" to baptize our product.

Noni (morinda citrifolia) belongs to the botanical family of the Rubiaceae, the same family than the coffee plant. The extraordinary quality of the Costa Rican coffee is well-known all over the world. Costa Rica has the ideal climate and ground conditions to crop noni. In fact, this wonderful plant is throughout all its Caribbean coast in a wild form.

Although noni has been used by diverse cultures for thousand years, in the West began to be studied at the end of century XIX, when the interest by the tropical botany awoke in Europe. But the appearance of antibiotics in our medicine caused than the interest in noni and other plants of medicinal use was eclipsed.

Nevertheless after World War II, when the parked American soldiers at the Pacific Islands benefits from their consumption, the interest and studies on this plant were reactivated. In the years 90' began its massive commercialization in a world-wide level, and it has not been until the year 2003 than Europe admitted its use as a food ingredient.

One of the great problems than the noni industry has had to deal with is the noni intense and disagreeable flavor. The alternative used by most of the companies is to add the noni juice concentrated of other fruits, looking for a flavor similar to the one of a fruits drinks.

Nevertheless we chose to preserve nonis intense natural flavor, leaving bees -through the honey- to give noni the fruitful which it lacks. The result has been praised by consumers and salesmen.

Yes. It can be found so many testimonies on the benefits of noni in horses and dogs. In fact you can already find commercial pets supplements with noni.

SOMANONI® can improve the quality of life of any person. Nevertheless, the people with special necessities than more testimonies have provide on the benefits of the consumption of noni have been: the cancer patients, the AIDS patients, the diabetics, the people with addiction problems, the hypertension and the cardiovascular ill ones, the men with problems of sexual impotence, the people with digestive or menstrual disorders, the ones who suffer of artrosis, and that ones who suffer stress or sleeping disorders.

If you suffer from any of these problems, ask your natural doctor on the convenience of consuming SOMANONI®, and on what dose.

NO. In its report of the 4 of December of the 2002, the EEC Scientific Committee on Human Feeding evaluated the levels of toxicity of noni, reaching the conclusion that these are equivalent to those of any other juice of fruits.

NO. SOMANONI® is a fruit juice and this is the way we have to understand it. Nevertheless, as it happens to any food loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutraceuticals in its composition, it is advisable to ask your doctor on possible incompatibilities.

Diverse epidemiologists studies have shown the benefits of noni for the diabetics. These studies have been made with noni juices containing 9% of sugars. SOMANONI®_juice contains 3,6%; whereas SOMANONI®_nectar contains 11,7%, but only fruitful and glucose, in a similar levels to those of an orange juice. It means that our juice can be consumed by any diabetic; and our nectar could be consumed by those diabetics who fruits juice consumption has not been prohibited. If you are diabetic and wish to consume SOMANONI®, ask your doctor.

One of the biggest problems of the noni products is their high prices. We have developed a production system with which we only contracts the services needed in each production, therefore eliminating fixed expenses. In addition we produce SOMANONI® in the same country of the raw material, reducing expenses of transport and increasing the quality.

SOMANONI® can be consumed by any person of any age. The best is to consume one ounce (33 milliliter) per day with an empty stomach, 1/2 hour before consuming any food, thus to facilitate the absorption of its nutraceuticals. This dose can be reduced to the half in children smaller than 12 years, or can twice repeat to the day in people with special necessities. For more information go to use recommendations.
