HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Noni 400 mg by Puritan's Pride

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: noni, a tropical fruit used in traditional medicine. The capsule delivers 400 mg of noni per dose.

The remaining ingredients—gelatin, vegetable cellulose, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate—are inactive components that form the capsule and help it stay stable on the shelf.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Noni product and its label doesn't state a use — see Noni's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for noni's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. The facts show insufficient reliable evidence to rate noni for asthma, atherosclerosis, athletic performance, burns, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

If you're considering noni for a specific health goal, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the research supports its use 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 by mouth, though high-quality studies of side effects haven't been done. The most common side effects are abdominal discomfort and nausea.

Rare but serious cases of liver damage, including liver failure, have been reported with noni products; however, it's unclear whether noni itself or contaminants in the product caused the injury. The safety data advises against using noni during pregnancy because it has been traditionally used to cause abortion.

We don't have enough safety information to recommend it during breastfeeding either—talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're nursing.

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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood pressure medications, potassium-regulating drugs (potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs), warfarin, phenytoin, ranitidine, or any medication known to stress the liver. All carry Moderate risk except ranitidine, which is Minor.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Noni may be an option if you're interested in traditional remedies and have no interactions with the 543 medications we've documented. However, if you take blood pressure medication, potassium-regulating drugs, warfarin, phenytoin, or ranitidine, you'll want to clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first.

The concern about rare liver damage also means monitoring is wise. Talk it over with your healthcare provider before you start.

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 Puritan's Pride: Common Questions

Does Noni 400 mg by Puritan's Pride 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?
The safety data advises against noni during pregnancy because it's been traditionally used to cause abortion. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information available—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using noni if you're nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
Abdominal discomfort and nausea are the most common. Serious side effects like liver damage are rare, but they have been reported with noni products.
Does noni actually work for the conditions it's marketed for?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether noni works for asthma, heart disease, athletic performance, burns, cancer, or clogged arteries. If you're considering it for a specific reason, ask your doctor what the research shows for your situation.
Why is potassium in noni a concern?
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium. If you're taking a blood pressure or potassium-regulating drug that already raises potassium levels, combining them could push your potassium too high, which can cause serious problems. That's why it's important to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
