Reference & research
Tahitian Noni® Juice is in the PDR
Tahitian Noni® Juice is listed in the PDR® for Nonprescription Drugs, Dietary Supplements and Herbs—a reference book doctors and pharmacists use to look up products.
What is the PDR?
The Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) is one of the best-known drug and supplement references in the United States. Its companion volume for nonprescription products includes a listing for Tahitian Noni® Juice, and the PDR for Herbal Medicines includes a monograph on noni (as cited by the NIH's LiverTox database).
Inclusion in the PDR means health professionals can look up the product. It is a reference listing, not an endorsement.
