Goji and Antioxidants

Eating a handful or two of authentic Tibetan Goji berries every day is an easy and enjoyable way of supplying your blood and cells with antioxidants that may help to protect you against premature aging. Have a look at how Goji berries rank in antioxidant content according to the ORAC test (the higher the ORAC value for a food, the greater its antioxidant content):

Lots of people talking about Antioxidants

Today’s big buzzwords in nutrition are antioxidants and ORAC scores with the rationale being that antioxidants protect tissue and organs by neutralizing the damaging and mutating effects of free radicals. Free radicals are produced when the body burns food for energy and immune responses and also from harmful chemicals in the outside environment.As an antioxidant, goji ranks number 1; ahead of acai, black raspberry, twice as high as pomegranate, 5 times higher than prunes and a whopping 10 times higher than oranges.

WHAT THE GOJI BERRY CONTAINS

The goji fruit contains polysaccharides, specifically four that are quite unique (LBP 1, 2, 3 and 4), which have been demonstrated to strongly fortify the immune system. These same polysaccharides have been found to be secretagogues, that is, substances that stimulate the secretion in the pituitary gland of human growth hormone (hGH), a powerful innate anti-aging hormone. Pure goji juice is the richest source of carotenoids, including beta carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all known foods or plants on Earth! Goji is a powerful antioxidant and is traditionally believed to fortify the body againstdisease and to provide the energy to overcome difficult obstacles in healing. Beta-carotene can be transformed into vitamin A under the influence of human liver enzymes. Being rich in trace minerals, goji juice contains significant amounts of zinc, calcium,germanium, selenium and phosphorus, plus many other novel compounds, such as solavetivone, not found in other foods or plants. The more we delve into the history and scientific research conducted on goji over the past several decades and the historical use over the past 3,000 years, the more one realizes that this small but powerful berry is worthy of trial and further investigation.

Benefits of Acai

Acai contains two central fatty acids recognized as Omega 9 and Omega 6. Omega 9 fatty acids decrease LDL and help keep HDL levels. Further ressearch proves that Omega 6 actually aids in reducing LDL–the damaging cholesterol.

Acai's Anti-Oxidant elements have a big role in maintaining the vascular cardiac system; this is essential for smoother blood circulation.

Acai's dark purple color exists because of polyphenolic compounds present. A major plant chemical in Acai gets much attention; this compound is known as anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are a cluster of Flavonoids which is broadly distributed in plants; it also gives a red to purple color to fruits such as grapes, raspberries, and blackberries. Furthermore, it contains the usual minerals and vitamins that are carried in most fruits.

Studies done on Goji Fruit

Another vital ingredient in the goji berry is carotenoids. The body easily translates this substance into Vitamin A, which the body requires for good overall eye health. Over 79 health studies have been conducted thus far on the benefits of the goji fruit. The results of these studies show positive and strong results indicating various health benefits to those whose daily diet consists of ingesting the goji fruit. The best part of goji berry consumption, and one that does not get mentioned often, is that consuming the goji berry will make you feel happy the whole day. This is why it is also called the 'happy berry' or the 'smiling berry'. People who have consumed this berry feel good about themselves and about everything that surrounds them. Nothing bothers them and they maintain calm even when faced with problems. Among the main benefits that you can expect from this wonder fruit are cell rejuvenation or anti-aging, anti-germ protection, and even enhancing sexual desire and pleasure. The anti-aging properties come from one of the ingredients that you will find in the berry, called polysaccharide. This ingredient triggers and boosts the production of growth hormones that in turn rejuvenates the cells in the body keeping them supple and young.

I really question some Goji Berry companies?

I have been searching the internet and notice some Goji compaines making claims.  Some of the claims I am seeing is the Goji's are grown in Tibet they are the only authentic Tibetan Goji Berries and the only ones to have these berries.  If you look at the contact information they show a phone number in China also the area where they are located in is Guangzhou.  If you are fimilar with China Guangzhou is 1,000's of miles away from Tibet or this region.  We have our sources in China telling us Tibet is having so many problems at this time to get Goji Berries from this area would be impossible.  We feel many companies are making false claims about the authenticity of where there Goji Berries are coming from.

Also let it been known Tibet is considered part of China.  If you travel to Tibet you are in China so companies making claims that there berries don't come from China this is also miss-leading.

We realize you have choices where you purchase Goji Berries from and want to keep you informed.

Tending young Goji plants

Their resistance could be understood from the fact that they can resist heat up to a hundred degrees and can resist cold up to minus fifteen degrees. The bush of Goji berries could grow up to eight to ten feet while the vines could be over a dozen feet tall. You need heavy pruning to keep the bush in shape and to let it produce more berries.

Early summer is its growing season when it is laden with trumpet shaped flowers. Surprising fact is that the same plant sprouts both white and purple flowers and looks pretty charming.

Athletic Performance / Energy

Usual dosage level: up to 5 oz. daily

An animal study showed that goji’s LBP polysaccharides induced a
remarkable increase in exercise tolerance and stamina, and helped to
eliminate fatigue. Goji LBP enhances glycogen storage (glycogen is the
body’s primary energy fuel).
Goji LBP also helps in post-workout recovery. It may limit sore
muscles by increasing activity of the lactic acid removing enzyme lactate
dehydrogenase. It also accelerates clearance of blood urea nitrogen, a
toxin produced during exercise.
