The Tibetan Lycium
berries grow and are harvested in remote unpolluted valleys of
Tibet and Mongolia. There are many varieties of Lycium,over 80, but
the name Goji refers only to the
Lycium Tibetica berries. Although many companies claim to sell
authentic goji berries, you recognise the true Authentic Tibetan
goji berries by their sweet and delicious taste. The Tibetan goji
berry grows in rich soils where no pesticides have never been used
which is not the case for the Chinese wolfberries, the Lycium
Barbarum variety. These Chinese wolberries are cultivated on
huge farms that produce hundreds of thousands of tons a year,
these farms use several types of 'safe' pesticides which may
undermine the benefits of these Lycium Barbarum
berries.
Quality
information:
The goji berry grows in profusion on vines reaching over twenty
feet. The small round red berries are harvested in the late summer by
being shaken onto collection trays, then washed in pure well water,
inspected and oven dried at controlled low temperature, they are
inspected and tested again before packaging. Every year's harvests
are tested for purity so that they are free of any contaminants,
chemicals, pesticides, sulfur and mold. The manufacturer complies
with the stringent Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). GMP
certification means that the site and methods employed in the
production of the precious Goji Berry hav been subject to a thorough
quality control investigation and is certified to be in compliance.
The berries have also been certified by the Australian Therapeutic
goods Administration (TGA). The Australian standards are the highest
in the world. The certification process covers everything from
buildings and surrounding grounds, to the equipment, personnel and
training, to sanitation and hygiene, to air and water purification,
to
production.
The berries are washed in industrial stainless steel rotating drums
cleaners equipped with water jets. The water used comes from an
underground
well.
In-house and outside labs tests are performed on the gojis to
certify that they are sulfur, pesticides and contaminant free. Tests
for moisture content,dissolution, heavy metals (lead, arsenic,
mercury, cadmium) and microbial content are performed on every batch
of every
harvest.
The process used to dry the goji berries is low temperature oven
drying. This sterilizes the berries and ensures that they are well
dried ant that no molds develop. This method gives drier berries and
prolong shelf life without preservatives. They are then vacuum
packed.
Furthermore, when the products arrive in the U.S. they are subject
to an additional review by the FDA ensuring that the products you
receive meet every safety standard.

iNGREDIENTS found in this fruit:
Vitamins B1,B2 and B6 (which is needed by the body to convert food
into energy).
Vitamin E (which has never been found in fruit)
500 times more vitamin C by weight than oranges
More protein then whole wheat
18 amino acids (8 of them essential for life)
21 trace minerals (including significant amounts of zinc, iron, copper, calcium, selenium,
phosphorus and
germanium; (a very rare
anti-cancer agent almost never found in food)
Germanium:It would
appear that Goji berries, as a consequence of the Germanium as well
as other constituents of the plant, are capable of inhibiting the
hydrogen ion in the cancer cells, thereby depressing the synthesis
of cancerous DNA. Many more studies are yet to be conducted and
scrutinized by the medical and scientific communities, but it would
appear that in essence the Goji berries might be helping to lower
the reproductive capacity of cancerous cells.
More beta
carotene than carrots
Essential fatty
acids (required for the
smooth functioning of the brain and nervous system)
The richest source of carotenoids (natural fat-soluble pigments that play a
critical role in vitamin A activity in humans)
Here is a short list of other health promoting
compounds found in the Tibetan Lycium Goji berry:
Beta Sitosterol: An anti-inflammatory agent found to lower
cholesterol, and used to treat sexual impotence and prostrate
enlargement.
Zeaxanthin and Lutine: Valued for their role in protecting the
eyes.
Betaine: Used by the liver to produce Choline which
assists detoxification reactions in the liver.
Betaine is known to protect DNA, enhance memory,
promote muscle growth and protect us from fatty liver
disease.
Cyperone: A sesquiterpene used in treatment of cervical
cancer. It is also known to benefit heart and blood pressure
problems as well as menstruation problems.
Solavetivone: A powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial
agent.
Physalin: A natural compound that boosts the immune
system. Found to be effective in treating leukaemia, hepatitis B and
cancer.
Polysaccharides:
This berry has extremely high levels of
immune-stimulating polysaccharideswhich stimulate the immune system to function at
its highest.
Another important finding about Lycium berries
is they have been found to have extremely high levels of
immune-stimulating polysaccharides. What are polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are very large, long-chain sugar molecules that are
nourishment for macrophages (large white blood cells) in the gut
wall. The macrophages are then transported to other immune cells,
setting off a chain of defensive events in our bodies.
Several years ago German researchers isolated
polysaccharides from Echinacea purpurea (often used in medicinal
formulations) and mixed them with macrophages in test tubes. They
found that the polysaccharides profoundly activated the macrophages,
stimulating them to effectively kill tumour cells. Also it was found
macrophages increased their production of interleukin, a chemical
which spurs the immune system to greater activity, and the
polysaccharides also enhanced the activity of B lymphocytes,
immune-system cells which fight bacterial infections.
Phagocytes are a crucial component of the immune
system and are found in the spleen. They digest foreign substances
that invade the body including bacteria and other disease causing
organisms. Having large numbers of phagocytes in the spleen will
enable the body to more quickly eliminate foreign substances and
thus prevent the development of potential illness.
The effects were astounding. Spleenic phagocyte
cell counts (immune cells) increased by 81% and the ORAC
(antioxidant capacity) the subjects' whole blood increased as
well.
A laboratory procedure was recently developed to
measure the amount of antioxidants the foods we eat contain. The
procedure known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) was
developed by Dr. Guohua Cao at USDA Human Nutrition Research Center
on Aging at Tufts University, USA. ORAC is one of the most sensitive
and reliable methods for measuring the ability of antioxidants to
absorb free radicals. It is the only test to combine both time and
degree of inhibition of free radicals.
According to Tufts University, the average
person needs approximately 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day to have
a significant impact on plasma and tissue antioxidant capacity.
Three servings of fruits and vegetables per day provide
approximately 1200 ORAC units. This means the average person is
short by up to 3800 ORAC units each day, depending on the fruits and
vegetables they are choosing and their body's requirements. To make
up the difference, experts recommend supplementing our diet with
high ORAC foods to become and stay healthy and slow down the aging
process caused by free radical damage.
The Lycium berry was rated the food with the
highest antioxidant ability coming in at an amazing 3,472 ORAC
units. Some of the other notable mentions are vitamin E oil at
3,309, pomegranates at 3,037, blueberries 2,400, raspberries
1,220.
This little red
fruit can change the health of the world. If more people knew about
Tibetan Goji berries and the use of other whole foods, many diseases would not be as much of a
challenge to our immune systems.
