Current Noni Research

• Dr. Ralph Heinicke and Afa Palu are working on the extraction and structure of Proxeronine and Xeronine. (See his patent on-line)
• Dr. Anne Hirazumi Kim is doing follow-up work on noni and it's effect on Lewis lung carcinoma cells.
• Dr. Mian-Ying Wang is working on the first human clinical trial involving
