Goji Berry Studies and
Research
The wild-craft Tibetan
variety has been harvested
for thousands of years
as a medicinal food
by Tibetan doctors and
eaten freely as a wild
fruit. Many generations
ago Goji seeds were
taken to China, cultivated,
and called Wolfberry.
The Chinese Wolfberry
is suspect if it does
not possess organic
certification because
of the lack of regulation
regarding pesticides,
herbicides, and DDT
over the years in Chinese
farming practices. It
is a botanical given
that soils with a history
of repeat planting often
suffer from mineral
depletion, which can
affect the nutrient
quality of the produce,
even in somewhat, similar
climatic conditions.
The Tibetan regions
provide pristine conditions
that have contributed
to the amazing nutritional
complex of the Goji
Berry because of the
natural soils, air,
and multiplicity of
plant life, resulting
in natural growing conditions
that make wild-crafted
botanicals so nutritionally
rich. The wild-crafted
Tibetan Extreme Health
USA Goji Berry is a
botanical rarity. The
extremely high levels
of antioxidants contained
in these Goji Berries,
along with many vitamins,
minerals and immune-stimulating
polysaccharides, make
this brand of Goji Berries
one of the worlds most
desired and beneficial
whole natural foods
available.
To call a product Goji
when in fact it is a
Chinese grown fruit
could be construed as
a “truth in advertising
claim violation” even
though the claim fails
to have legal implications.
Our resources indicate
there is some definable
amino acid and trace
mineral difference between
Goji Berry and Wolfberry.
The Goji is more nutritionally
dense; it is the gold
standard. Thus, wild-crafted
Tibetan Goji Berry is
original and highly
superior to the Wolfberry.
There are over 40 varieties
of Goji berry or wolfberry
on the planet. It is
important to know what
you are getting.
There is no doubt that
Goji Berries are very
important for modern
medicine. Here are
21 reasons to
use Goji berries in
your diet.
1. Life Extension
First of all, because
these plants will help
you extend your life.
You should know
that the body’s ten
trillion cells are under
constant attack by free
radicals. These harmful
environmental agents
can accelerate aging
by destroying vital
body cells faster than
they can be replaced.
Goji is known as the
“longevity fruit,” its
unique master molecule
polysaccharides and
powerful antioxidants
defend against premature
aging, fighting free-radical
damage throughout the
body.
2. Look and Feel
Younger
Secondly,
you should use them,
because they will make
you look younger and
feel younger.
It is thought Goji stimulates
the release by the pituitary
gland of human growth
hormone (HGH), which
is the youth hormone.
The benefits of natural
HGH are extensive and
may include reduction
of body fat, better
sleep, improved memory,
accelerated healing,
restored libido, and
a more youthful appearance.
3.
Energy and Strength
Also,
you should know that
these fruits would give
you energy and strength.
Ranked as one of
Asia ’s premier adaptogens,
Goji is said to increase
exercises tolerance,
stamina, and endurance.
It helps to eliminate
fatigue, especially
when recovering from
illness.
4. Strengthen
Heart
Goji
contains cyperone, a
sesquiterpene that supports
normal heart and blood
pressure levels within
normal ranges; its anthocyanins
may help to maintain
the normal strength
and integrity of a health
cardiovascular system.
5. Blood Profiles
Some of the current
research of Goji Berry
involves how its master
molecule polysaccharides
may help to support
normal blood pressure
within normal ranges.
6 . Cholesterol
Levels
Goji
contains beta-sitosterol
which some studies indicate
may help maintain normal
cholesterol levels;
its antioxidants may
contribute in keeping
cholesterol from oxidizing
and forming plaque.
The flavonoids in Goji
support healthy circulation.
7. Enhance Libido
and Sexual Function
The
Goji berry is revered
as one of the premier
sexual tonic herbs in
all of Asian medicine
and is legendary for
helping to spark the
passions. Goji can markedly
increase libido in
both men and women.
8. Chinese Menopausal
Conditions
In
traditional Chinese
medicine some menopause
issues have been ascribed
to a deficiency of kidney
yin; Goji continues
to be the yin tonic
of choice to support
hormonal balance in
women.
9. Balance Blood Sugar
Goji
has been used in China
for years and its polysaccharides
can help balance healthy
blood sugar levels within
normal ranges. Goji
contains betaine, which
supports normal liver
function and cardiovascular
health.
10. Memory Tonic
Goji
is the premier "brain
tonic" in Asia, it contains
betaine, which is converted
in the body into choline,
a substance that is
believed to enhance
memory and recall ability.
11. Digestion
Goji
is easily digested as
a dry-berry; rehydrated
to blend as a smoothie;
used in soups, salads,
and morning cereals.
12. Normal Kidney Health
Chinese
medicine practices proclaim
the kidney is the most
important of all the
vital organs and believed
to control the brain
and other organs. Proper
kidney function is considered
to be essential to survival.
Goji has a well-deserved
reputation as a kidney
supertonic, influencing
both yin and yang energy.
13. Happy Spirit
An adaptogen, Goji helps
the body to adapt and
to cope with stress
by providing energy
reserves to help the
body handle just about
any difficulty. It is
said that constant consumption
of Goji brings a cheerful
attitude; in Asia, it
is rightfully known
as the “happy berry.”
14 Sleep
People
with occasional sleep
disturbance have long
used Goji throughout
Asia. In several medical
study groups with elderly
people, nearly all individuals
taking Goji reported
better quality of sleep.
15. Vision
Since
ancient times Goji berries
are very popular for
supporting normal vision
health. Modern Chinese
scientists speculate
that Goji Berry is able
to reduce the time it
takes for vision to
adapt to darkness, possibly
due to its powerful
antioxidant carotenoids.
16. Heighten Immune
Response
The
immune system is your
body's "armed forces."
More than 40 years of
research have revealed
Goji’s ability to affect
immunity by commanding
and controlling many
of the body’s important
defenses. Chinese physicians
use Goji polysaccharides
to enhance and balance
the activity of all
classes of immune cells,
including T-cells, cytotoxic
T-cells, NK cells, lysozyme,
and the immunoglobulins
IgG and IgA.
17. Supports General
Health
The
free-radical superoxide
has been implicated
as having an important
role in the onset and
progression of human
ailments. Superoxide
is neutralized in the
body by the enzyme superoxide
dismutase (SOD), but
you produce less SOD
as you age. At any age,
the stresses of everyday
life can overwhelm your
body’s ability to produce
sufficient SOD to ward
off illness. Goji helps
restore the balance
of the SOD enzyme.
18. Headaches and Dizziness
In
traditional Chinese
medicine, occasional
headache and dizziness
are often said to be
caused by deficiencies
in kidney yin and yang.
Goji is among the most
frequently used fruit
for restoring yin/yang
balance.
19. DNA
DNA
is the most import chemical
in the body because
it carries the blueprint
for all the traits inherited
from ancestors. DNA
ensures that cells in
the body that need replacement
are faithfully reproduced
as healthy, exact duplicates.
Exposure to chemicals,
pollutants, and free
radicals can cause DNA
damage and breakage,
leading to genetic mutations
and illness. Goji’s
betaine and master molecule
polysaccharides have
been used to restore
and repair damaged DNA.
20. Increase Fertility
Asian physicians for
infertility in both
men and women have long
used Goji. In women,
Goji is said to have
an unmatched ability
to restore reproductive
essence, and in men,
Goji polysaccharides
are used to support
the extended life of
sperm cells.
21. Inhibit Lipid Peroxidation
Cholesterol
and other blood lipids
can become a concern
when they react in the
body to form lipid peroxides.
Goji increases levels
of an important blood
enzyme that may inhibit
the formation of lipid
peroxides.
