During the 90s, St. John's Wort and Echinacea grew rapidly in consumption as if the age-old remedies were brand-new products. Noni formulations include juices, teas, leaf tablets, juice extract capsules, chewable tablets and oils, but according to noni researcher Rita Elkins, M.H., the most efficacious supplementation of noni is a freeze-dried, powdered form.
