The big problem you have with both juices is that they are made from reconstitute fruit with other juice flavors. Both companies paint a picture of ancient people using their respected fruit but the people from the past didn't add juice concentrates and artificial preservatives. Read the label and look beyond the hype. If you want the real stuff buy it in its pure form.
When you see a company using "proprietary" to describe their product, be sure to put your "Bull Sh*t" boots on as not to soil your shoes.

I've never heard of the first one, but goji (or wolf) berries are great. They contain all of the carotenoids (which can help prevent against some types of cancer as well as helping with inflammation), calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, riboflavin, vitamin C, a whole bunch of other vitamins/minerals, a lot of fiber, and 18 of the 22 common amino-acids. They also have the highest anti-oxidant content of just about anything.

i don't know anything about tahitian noni juice, but i don't like the way it's generally marketed in pyramid schemes. goji berries have been used for probably thousands of years in chinese medicine. wikipedia says: Wolfberries [goji] ]and Lycium bark have long played important roles in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where they are believed to enhance immune system function, improve eyesight, protect the liver, boost sperm production, and improve circulation, among other effects. In TCM terms, wolfberries are sweet in taste and neutral in nature; they act on the liver, lung, and kidney channels and enrich yin. They can be eaten raw, consumed as juice or wine, brewed into a tea, or prepared as a tincture.
the chinese use them in teas in summer as they are supposed to be cooling. they are absolutely delicious. if i was you, i'd save yourself a fortune by buying them from chinese stores instead of getting ripped off in a health food shop where the prices are ridiculous due to the fact that they've recently become so trendy. if you steep them in water overnight you can drink the juice in the morning.
