  • Publication number: 20070166417
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nutraceutical formulations and methods for use of fetid oil derived from Morinda citrifolia seeds. Research supporting this invention indicates that processed Morinda citrifolia seed products may be used for weight management and health promotion. The present invention is supported by research findings related to the nutritional benefits of fetid oil extracted from the seeds contained within Morinda citrifolia fruit. This oil has been found to include high concentrations of linoleic acid, which is known to increase metabolic rate, help prevent cancer, protect the liver, and help prevent the build up of artery plaque. These observations are consistent with the concept that noni, can positively affect the regulation of excess body weight and promote overall good health.

  • Publication number: 20070154579
    Abstract: The present invention relates to weight management utilizing processed Morinda citrifolia products. Research supporting this invention indicates that processed Morinda citrifolia products may be used in weight management. The present invention is supported by research findings that suggest that oral administration of Morinda citrifolia can increase metabolic rate. An increased metabolic rate causes an individual to burn an increased amount of body fat. These observations are consistent with the concept that noni, can positively affect the regulation of excess body weight.
