Wolfberry or Goji, common names for
several species of the lycium fruit, is available
in many different locations with the major differences
being in taste. That is not surprising since every
farmer knows that plants grown in different soils will
have different tastes. Goji (wolfberry) from the
Himalayan areas (China, Pakistan, Tibet, and India) is known for it's antioxidant and immune support.
One Chinese herbalist is reported to have consumed the
berries on a regular bases and reached a ripe old age of
over 250 years. This event is celebrated and well known
by the Chinese but has been scoffed at by others.
Chinese researchers have determined a concentration of
polysaccharides in the wolfberry in which their studies
show evidence to support immune function.
Our Goji is manufactured from the whole fruit and extracted to a 4:1 ratio. In comparison to liquid products, which are mostly water, a gram of this product has the actives of 4,000mg of the Gogi berry powder.
Note this is 4 times the actives of the dried powder. How much Gogi do you you get in an ounce of the
competitions liquids? The actives found in the
juice are dehydrated to remove up to 6 pounds of water
to produce only one pound of powder. In a further
comparison, it would take around 4 quarts of juice to
produce one pound goji / wolfberry powder and 16 quarts
to produce one pound of 4:1 extract powder.
