Dr. Robert V. Ogden

TNI Senior Scientist, Process Research

UNITED STATES - In the more than five years that he has been with Tahitian Noni International, Dr. Robert Ogden has led the manufacturing technology development effort for a number of products, including freeze concentrated Morinda citrifolia puree, nutritional supplements for animals, Tahiti Trim® Plan 40® products, TAHITIAN NONI® Juice Concentrate, syrup for the TAHITIAN NONI  Café™, and TNI’s Smart Extracts™. 

Prior to his joining TNI, Dr. Ogden was employed for 28 years in the cheese and dairy/food processing industry. He helped develop and successfully commercialize spoon-and-bake cookie dough; ready-to-bake pie crusts; compound chocolate chips; a number of processed and imitation cheese varieties; many customized Italian cheese varieties for industrial accounts; and reduced fat, low-fat, and fat-free cheese varieties. His experience includes management in product development, sensory analysis, and regulatory compliance. 

“While it is not possible to conduct a double-blind study on just myself, I am nonetheless convinced that my current state of excellent health can be attributed in part to my regular use of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice. Mounting evidence of the benefits of noni in general—and of TAHITIAN NONI Juice in particular—is compelling. For example, from our animal field trials, the growing body of information that supports the benefits of noni—with a high level of statistical significance, I might add—has convinced and continues to convince skeptic after skeptic.”
