Why do people use goji berries?

Because they're supposed to contain, weight for weight, more:

� vitamin C than oranges

� beta-carotene than carrots

� iron than steak

Goji Berry, Juice and Benefits :

• protect the liver
• help eyesight
• improve sexual function and fertility
• strengthen the legs
• boost immune function
• improve circulation
• promote longevity

How long has Goji Juice existed?

Goji juice has been taken for 6000 years. Goji berries have been used for all this time by herbalists in China, Tibet and India.

Also known as wolfberry, the goji berry is revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an anti-aging herb.

A high concentration of immune-boosting compounds called glycoconjugates makes the berries unique

Goji berries are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin

Goji berries have a mild tangy taste that is slightly sweet and sour. They have a similar shape and chewy texture as raisins.

Goji has only been tested on humans in two published studies. A Chinese study published in the Chinese Journal of Oncology in 1994 found that 79 people with cancer responded better to treatment when goji was added to their regimen.

Nutrients (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

Macronutrients

Wolfberry contains significant percentages of a day's macronutrient needs - carbohydrates, protein, fat and dietary fiber. 68% of the mass of dried wolfberries exists as carbohydrate, 12% as protein, and 10% each as fiber and fat, giving a total caloric value in a 100 gram serving of 370 (kilo)calories

Micronutrients and phytochemicals

Wolfberries contain many nutrients and phytochemicals including:

• 11 essential and 22 trace dietary minerals
• 18 amino acids
• 6 essential vitamins
• 8 polysaccharides and 6 monosaccharides
• 5 unsaturated fatty acids, including the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
• beta-sitosterol and other phytosterols
• 5 carotenoids, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin (below), lutein, lycopene and cryptoxanthin, a xanthophyll
• numerous phenolic pigments (phenols) associated with antioxidant properties

Hopeful studies are testing Goji berries as a treatment for cancer. So far these show inconclusive results. If anything, the general health benefits Goji berries offer help stave off cancer and other diseases.
