Any thoughts?
I might buy some of the concentrate from Pure Bulk. Good price at $56.50 a kilo.
I remember it used to calm me down if I took enough.Morinda is an interesting genus.

How intense are the axiolytic effects of Noni? Can you compare it to anything? GABA? Ashwagandha? Taurine? Magnesium? Glycine? Benzos?
How do you take Noni? Juice? Capsules?

I was going through a hugely upsetting and stressful time and I didn't want to go to town on opiates or benzos.
I found that if I chewed up a whole days dose on noni and left it under my tongue that I actually calmed down a bit and could almost function.
There are people who say it helps with just about anything, allegedly through the action of xeronine, the details of which I forget.

Thanks! So you were eating the fruit. Hmm, wonder where I can find that. Not only would it be a healthy addition to my diet, but may be a great addition to my sleepy time stack.

>So you were eating the fruit.
I would have liked to, but no, I was dissolving capsules in my mouth.
But it would grow here, almost. Perhaps it would be too cool?
The plant likes volcanic soils and warmth. It grows around the Pacific, certainly in Tahiti.It would be great to have a tree right here.
