Goji Berry: A Super Food


If it's your first time here, you may want to subscribe to the feed for updates. You might also want to visit Freelife for more information about the Goji Berry juice.

"It is a dream come true to bring the miraculous goji to the world. I believe that Himalayan Goji ® Juice will have more powerful benefits on health, well-being, anti-aging than any other product I have seen in the last 40 years" - Dr. Mindell
Goji berry is considered a super food because it contains many nutrients and other things that are very beneficial for the human body.
  • Polysaccharides. Goji's four unique polysaccharides, or phytonutrient compounds, work in the body as directors and carriers of the instructions that cells use to communicate with each other. These polysaccharides are "Master Molecules" and command and control many of the body's most important defense systems.
  • Amino acids. They make up proteins and are important components of cells. A goji berry contains 19 amino acids, including 8 that are essential for life.
  • Vitamin C. Goji Berry contains 500 times more vitamin C by weight than an orange.
  • Antioxidants. They help to not only give the immune system a boost, but also control free radical cell growth which is thought to be a contributory factor to cancer.
  • Trace minerals. These minerals are required in minute quantities for physiological functioning. Trace minerals include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.
  • Vitamin E. This vitamin is very rarely found in fruits, only in grains and seeds.
  • Protein. A Goji berry contains more protein than whole wheat (13 percent).
  • Vitamin B-complex. These vitamins are necessary for converting food into energy.
  • Beta-Sitosterol. Beta-Sitosterol is an anti-inflammatory agent which is known to lower cholesterol.
  • Essential fatty acids. These are required for the body’s production of hormones and for the smooth functioning of the brain and nervous system.
  • Cyperone. A sesquiterpene that benefits the heart and blood pressure, alleviates menstrual discomfort, and has been used in the treatment of cervical cancer.
  • Solavetivone. A powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compound.
  • Physalin. A natural compound that is active against all major types of leukaemia. It has been shown to increase splenic natural killer cell activity in normal and tumour-bearing mice, with broad-spectrum anti-cancer effect. It has also been used as a treatment for hepatitis B.
  • Betaine. This is used by the liver to produce choline, a compound that calms nervousness, enhances memory, promotes muscle growth, and protects against fatty liver disease. Betaine also provides methyl groups in the body’s energy reactions and can help reduce levels of homocystine, a prime risk factor in heart disease. It also protects DNA.

Excellent post! I too feel that eating natural greens is the best way to maintain your health. When it comes to that I know for a fact that acai berry also has so much properties that helps to lose weight and prevents premature aging. However with this Monavie Scam people might just lose the faith they have on acai berry, as they promise to give unbelievable results.

Wonderful information about Goji berry. I am also trying this juice for loosing weight and it really works. I reduce 4 kg in 2 months. Goji berry juice comes from these marvelous little berries, and the juice which is easier to transport and store than fresh fruit is well regarded for general health and anti-aging benefits.
