Better than Costco Noni Juice?
I am a long time buyer of the Noni juice from Costco. Over the weekend I saw a health show on cable TV show about supplements and the real need to read the Label of what we are taking.
I finally got around to read the label of the Noni juice I buy at Costco and figured out that it is made from a noni concentrate with other additives including preservatives.
My question is what Noni juice product is out there you would recommend I try that doesn’t have all the additives for about the same price as what Costco offers Noni juice for at the wholesale price?
Pure Noni juice is always better to buy than premixed Noni or any other type of functional fruit juice. CostCo is my favorite place to shop, but like WalMart, they are in the business to give excellent prices. That is why their parking lot is always full.
With that said, Costco sells Naturally Noni that is made from concentrate because it’s the cheapest way to make and sell the bottle at CostCo. The fact that they use a plastic bottle rather than glass also makes it less expensive the distribute to the different stores across the country.
I use to drink CostCo’s Noni juice after first drinking Tahitian Noni International’s juice but it got too expensive to drink daily. CostCo’s Noni juice was about one-third the price, but like TNI’s juice it was blended with other flavors and water.
A few years ago I discovered tru noni juice from Hawaii on the Internet for about the same price per bottle that included the shipping cost. What a deal.
Like the other gentleman that posted an answer to your question he is right. The pure Noni juice tastes nasty at first but you will begin to develop an acquired taste for it. In the beginning mixing grape juice works really well and at the same time you know exactly what you are buying.
I am not sure why CostCo doesn’t sell tru noni juice because it is the best product i have found to give me energy and a boost to my immune system. It’s amazing, I haven’t been sick since I first started to drink noni almost three years ago.

You’re bound to get a lot of spam answers, to take any websites given with a grain of salt.
As far as answering, Noni just doesn’t taste very good straight so it’s commonly found with other fruit juices added to help the taste. It’s not uncommon for there to be a natural preservative (Sodium Benzoate and/or Potassium Sorbate are the more common natural options) so they don’t spoil on the shelf as quickly… the ones that don’t have the preservatives tend to have only a few months until the expiration date and/or have to be drunk up VERY quickly (within a few weeks is common). I’ve tried pure Noni before and I thought it tasted nasty where the "flavored" Noni was tolerable.
As long as the Noni is a good quality product, it won’t matter which company sells it… just make sure the company has a good rating with either the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) or USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia), as those are the main quality assurance organizations (USP is for the U.S., GMP is for the U.S. and worldwide). Good luck and I hope I helped!
