Noni juice, cleared for use by the US company Morinda, is made from the Indian

DHA rich oil, which is in this case derived from the micro-algae Schizochytrium, has been approved for use by the US Martek Biosciences Cooperation as an ingredient in dairy products, breakfast cereals and special foods for energy restricted diets, among other things.
