Tahitian Noni International wins Excelsis Awards

The Global Quality Foundation announced that Tahitian Noni International (TNI) Mexico is this year's winner of two Excelsis Awards - one for excellence in product quality, and the other for research and development. The Global Quality Foundation is a multifaceted organization that searches for improvements in quality processes, products and services that satisfy the needs of the current global society. In this case, not only was TNI honored for its quality products, but also for a dedicated research and development team that has been unlocking the health benefits of the noni fruit-thus allowing those benefits to be enjoyed worldwide.

“We are grateful to become a part of the international network of companies that have now been recognized with this significant award.”

The research and development team at Tahitian Noni International has recently found that noni contains over 150 bioactive compounds, including 12 iridoids. Iridoids have been studied by scientists for 50 years, and are known to contribute to over two dozen verifiable health benefits, but it was not known until recently that noni contained iridoids. The research team has also discovered two completely new phytochemical compounds that are only found in noni. Brett West, director of research and development, stated, "We are grateful to be honored by such a prestigious organization for our research on noni. We are committed to unlocking the secrets of this amazing fruit."

Carlos Aguilera, Latin American manager for TNI, accepted the Excelsis award for quality, saying, "We are grateful to become a part of the international network of companies that have now been recognized with this significant award."

The awards were presented in Mexico at a special conference where Tahitian Noni International's new bioactive supplements were launched.
