consult with your doctor before using noni.

you are pregnant. Although there is no research to prove it, it's better to avoid
consuming noni if you are
breastfeeding.

high potassium levels
Noni
consumption can increase potassium levels in the body Potassium that is too
high in the body can cause fatigue, nausea, difficulty breathing, kidney
disorders, and the most severe is paralysis and heart problems.

kidney disease
Potassium
content in noni is feared to worsen the condition of someone who has a
disorder. If you have kidney disease, you should not consume noni fruit.
4.Having
a disorder in the liver

and supplements contain chemicals that are processed by the liver. Therefore,
taking drugs with noni content routinely out of necessity, can cause
interference with the liver. If you already have liver disease, you should
