HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Noni 400 mg by Herbal Secrets

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Noni 400 mg contains one active ingredient: noni fruit. The remaining ingredients—gelatin, cellulose, silica, and magnesium stearate—are inactive components that serve as the capsule shell and tablet binders.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Noni's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: immune support, mood, and restful sleep.
  • We looked for evidence on: Common cold, Depression, Insomnia, immune function, serotonin regulation, melatonin support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Noni is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Noni is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Depression, Insomnia.

The evidence isn't established in our data for what noni does. We hold effectiveness ratings for asthma, atherosclerosis, athletic performance, burns, cancer, and cardiovascular disease—and for all of them, the evidence falls into insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

If you're considering this for a particular reason, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the science supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Noni

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Noni is generally well tolerated when taken orally in moderate amounts. The most common side effects reported are nausea and abdominal discomfort.

However, rare but serious liver injury (hepatotoxicity, including liver failure) has been associated with noni products in a small number of case reports; it's unclear whether noni itself or contaminants in the products caused the damage. The product also contains significant potassium, which is a concern if you have kidney disease or take medications that affect potassium levels.

Noni was traditionally used to cause abortion and should not be used during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information available for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then as well.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Noni

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Noni.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 543 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking noni if you use antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics, warfarin (a blood thinner), phenytoin (a seizure medication), any hepatotoxic drugs (medications that can harm the liver), or ranitidine. Altogether, these interactions span 543 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Noni may be worth considering if you're exploring traditional herbal remedies and your healthcare provider gives the OK—but this product has real medication interactions, especially with blood pressure drugs, heart medications, blood thinners, and seizure medications. If you take any prescription drug or have liver or kidney disease, talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.

The effectiveness evidence isn't strong for most uses we have data on.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Noni 400 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Noni8 drug types · 542 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Theoretically, combining noni and ACE inhibitors might increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium, about 6 mEq/100 mL juice. This may increase the risk for hyperkalemia when used in conjunction with ACE inhibitors, which can also increase potassium levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Theoretically, combining noni and ARBs might increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium, about 6 mEq/100 mL juice. This may increase the risk for hyperkalemia when used in conjunction with ARBs, which can also increase potassium levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, noni may increase the risk of hypotension when used in combination with antihypertensive drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests that drinking noni juice can reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking noni with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage.
There is concern that noni might cause hepatotoxicity in some patients. Advise patients against combining noni with potentially hepatotoxic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Theoretically, taking noni fruit juice concomitantly with phenytoin may lower phenytoin levels and increase the risk of seizures.
In one case report, an adult taking phenytoin for partial seizures experienced low serum phenytoin levels while taking noni juice 90-200 mL daily. Serum phenytoin levels increased after decreasing noni juice consumption; similarly, serum phenytoin levels decreased after increasing noni juice consumption. Some researchers believe noni juice may induce cytochrome P450 2C9 enzymes, which would decrease phenytoin levels, but this has not been well studied. Patients may need additional monitoring when starting or stopping noni juice supplementation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, combing noni and a potassium-sparing diuretic might increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium, about 6 mEq/100 mL juice. This may increase the risk for hyperkalemia when used in conjunction with potassium-sparing diuretics, which can also increase potassium levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, taking noni juice concomitantly with warfarin might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin.
In one case, a 41-year-old patient stabilized on warfarin had a decreased international normalized ratio (INR) following consumption of a specific commercial noni juice product (Noni juice 4 Everything). While the patient was still taking noni juice, an increase in warfarin dose did not produce an increase in INR. However, it should be noted that this particular product contained extracts and derivatives from more than 115 components, many of which contained vitamin K. Furthermore, vitamin K was listed as a separate ingredient of the product, suggesting that the product was possibly fortified with vitamin K. It has not been verified that noni fruit alone contains a significant amount of vitamin K or interacts with warfarin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ranitidine (Zantac)

Taking noni fruit with ranitidine might increase the levels and clinical effects of ranitidine.
Clinical evidence shows that taking an aqueous extract of noni fruit 30 minutes prior to taking a single oral dose of ranitidine can increase the rate of absorption and plasma concentration of ranitidine.

Noni 400 mg by Herbal Secrets: Common Questions

Does Noni 400 mg by Herbal Secrets interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Noni 400 mg has a known interaction with 542 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Noni 400 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take noni if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Noni was traditionally used to cause abortion, so it should not be used during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information available for breastfeeding either, so it's best avoided then as well. Talk with your doctor before taking noni if you're planning to become pregnant, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common side effects are nausea and abdominal discomfort. Rare but serious liver damage has been reported in a small number of people taking noni products, though it's not clear whether noni itself or contaminants in the products were responsible. High-quality studies of side effects haven't been done.
Is noni safe for my liver?
There is concern that noni might cause liver damage in some people. A small number of cases of hepatotoxicity (liver injury, including liver failure) have been associated with noni products. Use caution, and if you have a history of liver disease or take medications that can stress your liver, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Does noni actually work for anything?
Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate noni for asthma, atherosclerosis, athletic performance, burns, cancer, or cardiovascular disease. If you're considering it for a specific health concern, ask your doctor whether the evidence supports its use for you.
Why is there a warning about potassium?
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium. If you take medications that increase potassium levels—like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or potassium-sparing diuretics—adding noni might raise your potassium too high (hyperkalemia), which can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems. Your doctor or pharmacist should review this with you before you start.
