For thousands of years, the Goji Berry (Lycium Barbarum) has been revered for its staggering array of health benefits. Goji berries have been used to possibly support a healthy aging process, support a healthy immune system response, support a healthy liver, support healthy blood and promote cardiovascular health, support eye health, support healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels, support a healthy glandular system, and support normal healthy kidney function.

Modern science has shown that this bright red berry is a source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and contains many unique phytonutrients, polysaccharides, and complex compounds that scientists are just beginning to understand.

Our Goji Berry extract powder contains a whopping 50% polysaccharides.

The goji berry, a relative of the tomato, is a natural source of lycopene and has also been called the world’s most powerful anti-aging food. It is one of the highest-rated foods on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), only rivaled by the acai berry. The ORAC scale is a test developed by USDA researchers out of Tufts University in Boston that measures the antioxidant level in foods.

Goji berries possess an unmatched ability to absorb harmful free radicals that attack the body and contribute to the aging process and many diseases. Today, our bodies are constantly being bombarded by free radicals from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides on our fruits and vegetables, the chemicals we clean with, the preservatives in our processed food, and so on. Eating foods high in antioxidants is one way we can help our bodies combat these free radicals and the damage they cause.

Goji berries are rich in protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

Goji berries contain 18 amino acids, including the eight essential ones. They are a superb source of vitamin A and offer more beta carotene than carrots, and they are a rich source of vitamin C, having 500 times more vitamin C per ounce than oranges. Goji berries contain 21 trace minerals, including germanium, a substance rarely found in foods, and vitamins B1, B2, and B6. The raw goji berry is a nutritionally dense food and an excellent source of protein, too. Goji Berries have a long history of use as a tonic in traditional Chinese medicine.
