These guys take the cake. They sell diluted tahitian noni juice. They add grape and blueberry juice to dilute their product. To make matters worse, they use "reconstituted" noni, which just means it's been dehydrated.

I didn't like the fact that they were charging $42.00 (+ s/h) so I called to become a member in hopes of getting it cheaper. The only way to do this was to pay a fee to join a pyramid type plan and they wanted me to attend phone conferences, sign up my friends and family and commit to take at least 4 bottles per month... I just wanted to drink some noni juice!

I went ahead and joined and even went to a seminar. I was disgusted by the techniques they used to try to rally all these people into peddling their juice. They told us that Tahitian Noni was the only company in the world that is allowed to get noni fruit from Tahiti. I thought that sounded very strange so I asked why and the spokesperson was very evasive and side-stepped the question. They just kept going round and round about how we could all quit our jobs and become millionaires while doing the world a favor by selling their juice! The sad part was, about half of the people there were going for it.

I went home and did some research on Tahitian Noni. I found out that they had been in trouble on more than one occasion for making false claims about what their product can do for people and they had to pay heavy fines. I also found an article that was in Forbe's magazine which told that it costs Tahitian noni less than $2.00 per bottle to make their juice. Then they turn around and gouge for $42.00??? That's outrageous!

I got fed up and decided to shop around. Most of the store brands were even less potent than Tahitian Noni's and also made from concentrate. I then decided to check out the web and much to my delight, there were many companies offering 100% pure Tahitian Noni juice (not from concentrate or dehydrated) for nearly half the cost! Since switching to pure, I have noticed far better results and keep my money in my pocket. All I can say is buyer beware!

I have no idea what these people are talking about, since it doesn't sound like the Tahitian Noni International I am involved in. I was told about it, I tried it....it boosted my energy, I got better sleep, (which is amazing since I had a 6 wk old baby) so I was hooked, got info on the business part, and everything is on the up and up. It is Network Marketing, either you like that or you don't. There is no pressure, except what you put on yourself. I collect stories of people that have had a positive influence from trying the juice, word of mouth is how I got my customers. I also sale it for Wholesale, not $42 a bottle. They are upfront with the whole process. Not to mention the tons of research that Tahitian Noni has done in the last 9 years that supports everything they say. NO it does NOT heal anything. It CAN ease the pain of some medically challenged people, it can boost your energy, etc. Why get all huffy and say it is a scam when you haven't even tried TNJ? Yes there are some bad sponsors out there that maybe go about it wrong, but really do your research before you comment and try the juice. IT IS 100% natural...there is Noni, blueberry juice and grape juice for flavoring and anti-oxidant properties that is IT...no added sugar, preservatives etc.

They are the biggest scam!, They also have a program that can take over your website. For example when people were going to my website to purchase jewelry, my site appears for a few seconds and then the Tahitan Noni Site take over and you can not get out of it.

This has happen to me several times and I lost a lot of business. I have a friend that signed up and so I put a link on my site. I also went as far as to build another site to help sale this product. Every since that day, I have been getting weird things happen to my site. I have been getting so many emails saying that they can no longer get into my site because of a pyramid scam company over take my site.

Also They are a big scam, and they lie and try to conrol you in a kind of Utah Cult way.

They do lie in their siminars and when you set up your information/site through their site they ask you to pick a paragraph that is already written on how noni helped you. They tell you what to say and it is all a big lie.

Tahitian Noni Juice is pure Noni plus 2 ingredients!

This person is somewhat misinformed about Tahitian Noni International. The $42 is the retail price for a bottle, but you can purchase it wholesale for less. The juice has 3 ingredients (noni, blueberry and grape juice which have powerful anti-oxidants). Check out other competitors of Noni--their bottles have 20+ ingredients (many more than that even). READ THE LABELS! They encourage you to become a Case Autoship Distributor if you're wanting to build a business and receive more of a discount on items, but they DO NOT require it. You can just purchase the Noni Juice wholesale if you sign up as a distributor.

Tahitian Noni International has spent untold amounts researching, marketing and distributing their product world-wide. No other Noni company even comes close when it comes to purity, effectiveness and training on the Noni fruit. I recommend try Tahitian Noni Juice for 90+ days and if you don't get results THEN complain!
