noni juice — why does CostCo sell that watered downed crap. I always thought that had quality products?
I am a big fan of CostCo and discovered they sell Noni juice, but when I brought it home I discovered it was made from mostly water. Why would CostCo put such a poor product on its shelves?

This is a very good question one I wonder myself since I too have been I long time CostCo member and look forward to visiting the different CostCo’s in each town I visit. The only answer I came up with is the buyer for CostCo does not know the difference between good Noni juices and watered down Noni juice with preservatives. Everything else in the store is first rate so I have a hard time believing they would skip just I the Noni juice unless the buyer just does not get it.
I now buy my Noni juice online from Tru Noni and found them to be the best in quality and price. The funny thing I learned while placing a phone order with them a while back is that they model their business around CostCo, low prices and volume sales I don’t know why the two companies hook up sometime. It would be a great service to the CostCo members.

Naturally Noni is a knock off of Tahitian Noni both are a juice blend of Noni with other juice flavors and of course water. The brand Costco chose has to carry uses a lot of water and I surprise if it has ant effect at all for people. But at $13.99 a bottle as oppose to $42 that TNJ charges people think they are getting a Costco deal. You must remember marketing is all perception in the mind, even though the product they sell is all water.
Costco is like any company, they need to make a profit, no margin no mission, and if they can sell a bottle of Noni juice for $13 what does it tell what’s inside the bottle. It’s like asking the same question about what is inside a Mc Donald’s $0.59 hamburger, you probably really don’t want to know.

My Costco does not sell that much of Naturally Noni juice. I drink the same pure Noni juice already mentioned previously from Hawaii. I am always amazed to see Costco still selling it because if products doesn’t move they replace them with ones that do. And I see the mustard brown boxes on the bottom shelf in the supplement section of the store collecting dust. That is what I find baffling about why people would buy a watered down product or at least enough of it the buyer at Costco would continue to offer the members an inferior product to the other products on the market. Good question.
The one thing I do know Costco has the best meat!

I had never heard of Noni juice before I read this question a few days ago and yesterday I went to my local Costco and sure enough they had Noni in a really ugly yellow-brown box. If I am going to drink a natural product for my health I don’t want the extra stuff these people are filling the bottle up with.
I went to the other Noni product mentioned true noni and they actually list their ingredients along with a host of other brands that may interest you if you are looking for a higher quality product. I normally don’t steer people away from Costco, my wife of 43 years tells me I spent over $100,000 last year in-store and online. But when you are retired, what else is there to do?
I guess I don’t know why Costco sells a watered down Noni product. My only suggestion is to call their offices in Seattle and ask them yourself.
