The smallest of berries to be savoured for the richness of life they bring!

The Tibetan Goji berry is pure and grown in ancient soils untouched by any pollutants or pesticides. Its antioxidant qualities and phytonutrient energy is equaled by none. It is said in Tibet that eating Goji berries in the morning will make one happy for the entire day, and with such a practice, the effect is cumulative, so eventually, one can't stop smiling!

Under the direction of The Tanaduk International Botanical Research Institute of Tibetan Medicine, The Tibetan Goji Berry Company is the licensed world distributor for the Tibetan Goji berry and is working in concert with directors of H.H. The Dalai Lama's Institute of Tibetan Medicine and of The Tanaduk International Research Institute of Tibetan Medicine's plant conservation program.

Goji berry, Wolfberry - what is the difference?
Please do not mistake the Tibetan Goji berry for the Chinese Wolfberry. Some wolfberry marketeers are now calling Goji berries and putting wolfberries into nutritional products like Goji bars, etc., and selling them by calling them Goji berries. This is incorrect, deceptive and improper business ethics. Although this may be done in ignorance and not for a commercial advantage over the Tibetan Goji berry and its ancient lineage, eventually businesses using this fallacy will be brought into alignment with the proper labeling and use of ingredients. The important thing is that you know the difference so as not to be fooled. Remember, there is no Chinese Goji berry, the Goji berry is Tibetan/Mongolian.

The Tibetan Goji berry is pure and grown in ancient soils untouched by any pollutants or pesticides. Its antioxidant qualities and phytonutrient energy is equaled by none. Chinese wolfberries are loaded with pesticides, having been grown in soil that has had pesticide applications for over fifty years, and most often they are sulfured and irradiated.

Let your imagination SOAR as to their culinary delights!

The #1 Highest Rated Anti-oxidant (ORAC) Food in the World!
ORAC Research Findings - The ORAC Chart of Fruits, Vegetables & Essential Oils.

THE POWER OF ORAC

• High-ORAC foods raised the antioxidant power of human blood 10 to 25 percent.
• High-ORAC foods prevented some loss of long-term memory and learning ability in middle-aged rats.
• High-ORAC foods maintained the ability of brain cells in middle-aged rats to respond to a chemical stimulus--a function that normally decreases with age.
• High-ORAC foods protected rats' tiny blood vessels--capillaries--against oxygen damage.

Nutritionist Ronald L. Prior contends, "If we can show some relationship between ORAC intake and health outcome in people, I think we may reach a point where the ORAC value will become a new standard for good antioxidant protection." The thesis that oxidative damage culminates in many of the maladies of aging is well accepted in the health community. "It may be that combinations of nutrients found in foods have greater protective effects than each nutrient taken alone," said Guohua (Howard) Cao, a physician and chemist who developed the ORAC assay.

GOJI Berry Nutrition

• Contains 500 times more vitamin C per ounce than oranges
• Goji Berries have more beta Carotene than carrots, a superb source of vitamin A, from their unique attractive red color.
• Vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E. Goji Berries are an excellent anti-oxidant food!
• Excellent source of selenium and germanium and have hence been used in a number of clinical trials involving cancer patients. When given to patients undergoing chemotherapy, the Goji Berries offered significant protection for the liver.
• Contain 18 amino acids (higher than bee pollen) and
• 21 trace minerals the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calc, germanium ium, selenium, and phosphorus.
• Linoleic acid which is notably promotes decreases in body fat, supports increases in lean body mass, helps maintain healthy inflammation response, enhances immune function
• Provide antioxidant protection. In Oriental medicine, they are said to correct chi deficiency, meaning conditions such as low energy, insomnia, heart palpitations, and even anxiety.
• Mature fruits contain about 11 mg or iron per 100 grams, beta-sisterol (a very powerful anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine (0.1%).
• Goji Berries contain polysaccharides which fortify the immune system. A polysaccharide found in this fruit has been found to be a powerful secretagogue (a substance that stimulates the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone by the pituitary gland).

Goji Berries have been traditionally regarded as a longevity, strength-building, and sexual potency food. In several study groups with elderly people the goji berry was given once a day for 3 weeks. Many beneficial results were experienced and 67% of the patients experienced 3x higher T cell function and the 2x higher activity in white cell interleukin-2. In addition, the results showed that all the patients' spirit and optimism increased significantly, appetite improved in 95% of the patients, 95% of the patients slept better, and 35% of the patients partially recovered their sexual function.

LONGEVITY
Li Qing Yuen, who apparently lived to the age of 252 years (1678-1930), consumed Goji berries daily. The life of Li Qing Yuen is the most well-documented case of extreme longevity known.

Dose
The therapeutic dosage is 10-30 grams of Goji Berries per day.
