Noni juice for some evidence to back up

I take this as evidence that this product is not worth wasting money on.

Noni juice (Morinda citrifolia): hidden potential for hyperkalemia?

We report the case of a man with chronic
renal insufficiency who self-medicated with an
alternative medicine product known as noni
juice (Morinda citrifolia). The patient presented
to the clinic with hyperkalemia despite claiming
adherence to a low-potassium diet. The potassium
concentration in noni juice samples was
determined and found to be 56.3 mEq/L,
similar to that in orange juice and tomato juice.
Herbal remedies and alternative medicine
products may be surreptitious sources of
potassium in patients with renal disease.
