PROVO, Utah, Mar 08, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Maintaining an active lifestyle for dogs requires a properly balanced diet that is full of essential nutrients. To help meet the nutritional needs for our canine buddies, Tahitian Noni International is introducing TAHITIAN NONI(TM) Canine Essentials(TM), a specially-formulated nutritional support system.

-- TAHITIAN NONI(TM) Canine Essentials(TM) Original is a unique blend of noni and soy lecithin, vitamin E, and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) for superior support of the nervous and immune system. This formula also includes a powerful balance of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids to aid the mind and body. Featuring Morinda citrifolia (noni) and blueberry juice, both of which are an antioxidant-rich, natural resource and proven to support the immune system, this liquid supplement is highly absorbable and easy to add to any dog food.

-- TAHITIAN NONI(TM) Canine Essentials(TM) Puppy is a specially formulated liquid supplement that gives puppies the essential nutrients needed for their growth and training.
