Goji Berry Benefits Are Derived From A Wide Variety Of Antioxidants And Nutrients Among A Few Others.

By Thornie Swathi


It is widely sought after for its well marketed health benefits, especially its anti-aging properties. Although the name 'Wolf berry' may not ring any bells, you probably know the fruit by its commercial name: the Goji Berry.

First of all, what is the Goji berry? The Goji berry, also called the Chinese Wolfberry, is a small, red, raisin-like berry with an incredible nutritional make-up, grown in the sub-tropical climates of China, Mongolia and Tibet.

So what makes Goji berries so special? Goji berries contain more beta carotene than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges, more iron and antioxidants than spinach and more protein than whole wheat.

In one study of mice fed with high fat diets, Goji berry intake showed decreased levels of LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Goji berry benefits also show protective effects on the oxidative stress and DNA damages in diabetic rats.

Predominantly grown in the northwestern portions of Tibet and China, which boast some of the purest soil in all of the world, Goji berries come from the Lycium plant, an evergreen bush with vines that may reach as high as 10 to 15 feet.

For me personally, living with anxiety and depression, I found just the mental clarity and having more energy made them worth their weight in gold. I do admit, I was skeptical at first, but after a week or so I was sold!

In vitro studies have shown that extracts of the goji fruit have been able to destroy cancer cells. Other than the antioxidants found in the goji, another goji berry benefit is its rich source of Germanium, which is known to have anti-cancer properties.

Don't keep putting it off, wondering if they really would make a difference for you. The best way to find out is to try it yourself, risk free. Don't go out and spend a small fortune on them before trying them out. Get hold of a free sample and 'try before you buy'! For just the price of postage, you can get your own free sample of Goji berries.

Recently classified as a "health food" thanks to recent research that's proven their high concentration of nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants, These berries have been proclaimed as a superfruit and demand is expected to reach an astonishing billion dollars in sales by the year 2011.
