Tahitian Noni, the company behind Tahitian Noni Juice, and the HIRO Juice line, comprised of the NONI ‘superfruit,’ announced a new member to their promotional team. Isa Phillips, a native of Kingston, Jamaica, and a graduate of Louisiana State University has just become the newest spokesperson for the company.

Isa, is an NCAA track and field champion several times over as well as a two time All American. Isa credits his achievements in part to hard work and dedication to the sport, but also to his healthy lifestyle, which includes Tahitian Noni products.

For Phillips, the noni fruit as well as its benefits were nothing new, “I grew up in Jamaica where noni grows along the coastline. Ours was a health-conscious home where drinking noni was part of my daily routine, especially when I started running track. I then moved to the United States and was introduced to TAHITIAN NONI Juice, and it tasted great! I know how great noni is, and great health is invaluable.”

Phillips will be a spokesperson for the Tahitian Noni juice as well as the company’s HIRO fruit juice which combines several “superfruits” to make one powerful drink. Phillips has said that his goal during coming competitions is to drink an entire bottle of Tahitian Noni Juice during track competitions and to consume 1 to 2 cans of the HIRO a day. Phillips says that since 2005 when he began drinking the NONI products his overall health as well as his performance on the track has seen significant improvements.

In June Phillips will compete for a chance to represent his home country of Jamaica in the 2008 Olympic Games.

Phillips is a great addition to the NONI Company. He is also a spokesperson for NIKE and his dedication to his health and sport is a great testament to the NONI products. It’s great to see an athlete who is speaking up for all natural products that do not contain synthetic ingredients and can really help improve performance simply by building a healthier body. In an era where we hear about athletes using drugs and steroids to compete at a higher level, Tahitian Noni has chosen a great example of an athlete who has chosen to work hard, stay healthy, and play fair to rise to the top of his sport.
