FACTS
Goji Berries are very effective in a wide range of treatments. They are
often used to treat fever, diabetes, cough and phlegm. Drinking tea made from
the Goji Berries can help eliminate fatigue, constipation, insomnia, low blood
pressure, anemia, various eye diseases, hair loss, stomatitis, skin disorders and
other ailments.

of 28
Goji Berries, also known as Wolfberries, are the most
nutritionally-rich fruit and antioxidant natural source of food known on
Earth. Goji Berries have been recognized by Chinese medicine for
longevity, strength-building, and a vitality-enhancing food.
At the beginning of the last century Goji Berry was hailed
as a super fruit and has since been sold as a health food and as a dietary
supplement. It contains vitamins A, B2 (riboflavin of the B-complex
group), E, 21 trace minerals including iron, potassium, zinc,
phosphorous, calcium and selenium as well as bioflavonoids and
carotenoids such as zeaxanthin, and contain 500 times the vitamin C of
oranges by weight. The essential amino acids, fatty acids and

of 28
polysaccharides it contains help to maintain normal blood pressure
levels. Both beta-carotene and zeaxanthin help to protect the retina in
the eye by absorbing blue light, and this may decrease the risk of
developing macular degeneration. Goji Berries are also the richest
source of beta-carotene of all known foods or plants on earth. They are
loaded with 18 kinds of amino acids and contain all 8 essential amino
acids.
The bioflavonoid Betaine calms nervousness and also
enhances muscular growth and helps the liver function. Physalin is
active against all types of leukemia and this is also found in Goji or
wolfberries. Used in the treatment of Hepatitis B, Solavetivane is a
powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compound while Beta-Sitosterol
is an anti-inflammatory used to treat impotence and prostate
enlargement, and it is this combined with the potent antioxidant
activities of the berry that has given it the reputation for enhancing the
libido and being an aphrodisiac. Cyperone, a sesquiterpene, is good for
the heart, normalizes blood pressure and may help in the treatment of
cervical cancer.
You usually buy it in the dried form and it is good in a
tisane combined with the root bark. It is usually cooked before eating
and is a useful addition to sweet rice dishes instead or as well as
sultanas. It is rather like a raisin in texture, and has that kind of chewy
consistency.
It is claimed that the ripe fruit is a tonic, boosts sperm
production and benefits the complexion, as well as helping the liver and
kidneys to function well. It also demonstrates some anti-cancer activity
and improves blood circulation. The Beta-carotene helps to prevent the
skin from becoming sun damaged and it has been touted as a great way

of 28
to keep young-looking skin and slow the aging process.
This fruit has been used for 6,000 years in the Indian
subcontinent, China and Tibet to protect the liver, improve sexual
performance and health, improve vision strengthen the legs and to
increase longevity.
The root bark is used to lower the body’s temperature in
fevers, regulate high blood pressure, and lower cholesterol levels. It has
the reputation of being good for coughs and colds as well as being used
as a diuretic and purgative. A tonic tisane is made from the leaves and is
used also to stop genital itching.
Negative Side Effects - Goji Berry
The body warming effect of wolfberry is quite powerful.
Therefore individuals with hypertension, high blood pressure or those who
have impatient temperaments should consult with an Oriental Health Care
Professional and your Family Physician prior to using Goji Berry on a regular
basis.
It is hard to judge whether or not personal testimonies are true;
the only thing you can do is to do your own research online, and you can
usually find plenty of unbiased information regarding Goji Berries.
You can also try it for yourself to see if it lives up to all the hype.
General Side Effects

of 28
When consumed in large quantities, Goji Berry may produce
undesirable side effects such as nausea and dizziness. Although Goji Berry
allergies are uncommon, individuals with pollen allergies should avoid Goji
Berries. Expectant mothers should also avoid Goji Berry, as the berries
contain a high selenium content which may lead to birth defects.
Atropine
Atropine is an alkaloid that occurs naturally in Goji Berries.
Although the atropine content in Goji Berries is generally below the toxic
amount, consumers should only eat Goji Berries in moderation. Consuming a
high concentration of atropine can result in dizziness, nausea, blurred vision,
dry mouth and potential hallucinations.
Insomnia
Goji Berry, even if taken in moderation, may cause acute
insomnia in some consumers. Goji Berry may cause insomnia by increasing
alertness. However, this side effect is not serious and can be combatted by
only eating Goji Berries in the morning.
Anti-Coagulation
Goji Berry, like many other natural products, may affect blood
clotting. Studies have shown that Goji Berries can interact with warfarin, an
anticoagulant drug. Two studies showed that elderly women who ate large
quantities of Goji Berries were at a higher risk for increased bleeding.
Drug Interactions

of 28
Goji Berries may interact with other prescription medications in
addition to warfarin. Goji Berries have been shown to interact with high
blood pressure and diabetic medication, causing an abnormal drop in blood
pressure or a decrease in blood sugar levels, which means it is enhancing the
medication’s effects. Drops in blood sugar levels can lead to dizziness and
fainting.
Goji Berry dosage
Allergies and psoriasis 20 - 30 oz. daily Goji berries in the study in
the Journal of Beijing Medical University (1992), it was observed that Goji reduces
the amount of antibodies associated with allergic type reactions, which was
presumably through mechanisms promoting CD8 (+) T-cells and regulating
cytokines. As a result, the Goji Berries are useful for the treatment of psoriasis.
Goji Berries Anti-Aging - Usual dose: 20 - 30 oz. daily LBP
polysaccharide complex of unique Goji significantly enhances the secretion of the
body (increased pituitary human growth hormone, which causes a general
rejuvenation of the body). Goji berries are traditionally viewed as a means to
longevity and sexual potency of the highest order. Several research groups have
taken the elderly berries once a day for three weeks, and nearly 70 percent of
patients have made impressive strides in strengthening the immune system. In
addition, nearly all patients had improved appetite and sleep quality. More than 35
percent of patients had recovery of sexual function. Zhang (1993) studied the role
of the unique polysaccharides in Goji LBP in anti-peroxidation, a major cause of
premature cell death. Dr. Zhang and his team measured the changes in the
electrical parameters of cell membranes after administration of live cells in a
solution containing dangerous free radicals. Oni noted that the lethal effects of free
radicals in cells can be prevented and reversed by taking polysaccharide LBP.

of 28
Arthritis-The usual dose of 30 grams. daily Research conducted in
China showed that taking Goji leads to a significant (40%) increase in the
production of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), this extremely important
anti-inflammatory enzyme.
Sporting achievements / Energy-The usual dose levels up to 60
oz. daily Studies show that eating Goji LBP polysaccharides leads to a significant
increase in exercise tolerance, increases stamina and helps eliminate fatigue. Goji
LBP enhances glycogen (glycogen is the primary fuel of the body). Goji LBP also
helps in recovery from exercise, reduces muscle pain, and removes lactic acid.
Diseases of the blood - The usual dose levels: 20 grams. daily LBP,
contained in Goji berries, contributes to the growth of stem cells and increase the
number of monocytes in the bone marrow. Goji Berry is also used in several recent
clinical trials for the treatment of bone marrow with a deficit of production of red
blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Three years conducted clinical studies
on the effect of Goji berries on the immune, physiological and biochemical
parameters of blood of older volunteers. The results showed that the berries Goji
cause a noticeable improvement in all parameters of blood.
Cancer Prevention - The usual dose levels: 20 grams. daily
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is one of the most important cytokine (cell protein). It inhibits
the growth of tumors in various models of cancer. Polysaccharides of some plants
to increase production of interleukin-2 (IL-2). Goji LBP are particularly active in
this regard. On the influence of LBP increased by increasing production of IL-2,
reported the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology in Beijing (1989). Other
studies in China show that Goji berries inhibit the gene mutation induced by TA98
and TA100.Nekotorye scientists believe that Goji may be a very good supplement
to prevent liver cancer because the antioxidants in the Goji berries protects the
liver and also has anti-tumor effect.

of 28
Treatment of Cancer -The usual dose levels of 40-60 grams. daily Goji
Studies conducted in the Second Military Medical University in Shanghai, 79 patients with
advanced cancer received LAK/IL-2 in combination with Goji LBPs. The results showed
remarkable regression of cancer in patients with malignant melanoma, kidney cancer, colon
cancer, lung cancer and cancer of the nasopharynx. Noted that the remission of cancer in patients
treated with Goji lasted LAK/IL-2 much longer than in patients not treated with Goji. The results
showed that Goji berries’ polysaccharides can be used as adjuvant therapy for cancer. Another
study from China showed that taking Goji increased sensitivity to radiation therapy and increases
the immunity of cancer patients.
Cardiovascular disease - The usual dose levels: 30 grams. daily
The accumulation of lipid peroxides in the blood can lead to cardiovascular
disease, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis and stroke. Receiving Goji provides
40% increase of enzyme production of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which
prevents the accumulation of lipid peroxides in the blood.
Diabetes (adult, not insulin-dependent) - The usual dose
levels: 20g. twice a day Goji is used in China for the treatment of diabetes for
many years. When you receive Goji restores balance of sugar and insulin levels.
Gastrointestinal disorders - The usual dose levels: 10gr. just
before eating Mongolian Institute of Traditional Medicine reported that Goji has
been used in the treatment of atrophic gastritis, which is defined as a weakening of
digestion due to the weakening of activity of the stomach.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) - The usual dose levels:
20 grams daily. Effect of polysaccharides (LBP) on endothelial function Goji
observed in Jia YX et al (1998) in China. The results showed the effectiveness of
Goji berries for normalization krovyannogo pressure.
Infertility - The usual dose of 50g. daily for four months Goji berries
have long been used by doctors Asia to treat infertility. Recent studies show the
high efficiency of polysaccharides and trace elements contained in Goji berries for
the treatment of male infertility.

of 28
Protection of the liver -The usual dose of 10-20g. daily A new
cerebroside was isolated from the Goji berries. In further studies, Kim SY (1999)
suggested that cerebroside Goji berry can keep hepatic mitochondrial glutathione
levels and thereby reduce lipid oxidation and cell damage.
Obesity - The usual dose: 20g. morning, 20g. in the evening Goji berry
has also been tested as a treatment against obesity. Patients drank tea made from
dried berries every morning and every evening. The results were excellent - the
majority of patients significantly lost weight. In animal studies, it was shown that
Goji polysaccharides enhance the conversion of food into energy, and help to
reduce body weight.
Sexual dysfunction - The usual dose of 20-30g. daily Goji berries
have long been used to treat impotence. Substances contained in the Goji berries
markedly increases the level of male hormones in the blood. In fact, an old Chinese
proverb cautions men who are traveling away from their wives: "He who travels
one thousand kilometers from home should not eat Goji!"
Goji Berries - yes, there’s more!
Prolongs life, protecting the body from premature aging because of its
action. Trillions of cells in the body are constantly exposed to attacking free
radicals. These malicious factors are all around us and can accelerate aging by
destroying vital body cells faster than they are replaced. Goji is known as the
"longevity fruit." Strength and polysaccharide molecules protect us from
premature aging by neutralizing the damage that free radicals cause.
Provides additional energy and strength, especially when
fighting illness. Goji's classification is one of the adaptogens primarily of Asian

of 28
descent, and increases the body's resistance to harmful influences. Helps to relieve
fatigue, especially when recovering from any illness.
Makes us feel and become younger. Goji can stimulate through
the pituitary gland HGH (Human Growth Hormone = Human Growth Hormone)
hormone of youth. HGH has many advantages, among them such as reduced body
fat, more sound sleep, improved memory, more rapid convalescence, improved
libido and a more youthful look.
Supports normal blood pressure. Almost every fourth adult in
the United States suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure). Uncontrolled
hypertension can lead to cardiovascular disease, and disruptions in the kidneys.
Hypertension is sometimes difficult to detect and therefore it is called the "silent
killer." Research conducted in 1998 showed that an increase in blood pressure
largely could have been prevented through the action of the polysaccharide
molecules Goji.
Reduces the risk of cancer. Goji plant - one of the few on Earth,
which contains anti-cancer mineral germanium. Its unique anti-oxidants and
polysaccharides may halt genetic mutations leading to cancer. Some scientists
believe that Goji may be an especially good supplement to prevent liver cancer
because it strengthens the protection of the liver and carcinogenic effects at the
same time. This is important because the liver is the most important organ of the
human body.
Lowers cholesterol. Goji contains beta-sitosterol, which had shown
its effectiveness in lowering cholesterol levels. Its antioxidants prevent oxidation
of cholesterol and plaque formation in arteries. Goji flavonoids help keep arteries
open and functioning with flexibility.

of 28
Helps normalize blood sugar levels early in the
emergence of diabetes in adults. Goji berries are used in China for
many years to treat diabetes at an early stage in adults. As a result of observations,
it was determined that these polysaccharides can balance blood sugar and insulin
response. It also contains betaine, which can prevent fatty liver and vascular injury,
sometimes seen in diabetics.
Improves the response to sexual stimulation. Goji berry is
revered as one of the best herbal tonics of sex in all Asian medicine and is
legendary because of its ability to assist in "inciting passions." Indeed, there is an
old Chinese proverb, which warns the men who go far from their wives and
families: "He who goes over 1000 miles from the family home, there should not
Goji." Recent scientific studies have shown that Goji increases levels of
testosterone in the blood, thereby increasing libido in both men and women.
Helps to reduce weight. In one of the Asian research studies on
obesity, patients were given Goji berries in the mornings and evenings. The results
were excellent: most of the patients lost weight. In another study, Goji
polysaccharides have proven effective in reducing weight by improving conversion
of food into energy rather than fat.
Eases headaches and dizziness. In traditional Chinese medicine,
migraines and dizziness often associated with renal failure yin (vital energy) and
yang (function). Goji - this is one of the plants, which is most often used to restore
balance yin / yang.
Goji Berry and Health issues
Strengthens the blood by stimulating production of red
and white blood cells and platelets. Treats a violation of the bone

of 28
marrow. Goji berry is known worldwide as a tonic and blood rejuvenator. In one
study, Goji use contributed to revitalized blood and rejuvenation in the elderly. In
another trial, Goji flavonoids were the defenders of red blood cells from the
harmful effects of free radicals. Goji has also been used in the very recent clinical
trials for the treatment of disorders of bone marrow function (decreased production
of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets).
Facilitates the counting of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes - any
group of white blood cells crucial to the adaptive part of the body's immune system
- Goji increases lymphocyte count and helps to activate them when the body is
under attack.
Activates anti-inflammatory enzymes. Intensive research
conducted over the past 20 years indicates that acute and chronic inflammatory
conditions, superoxide radicals, are formed at a rate that exceeds the capabilities of
SOD enzyme system of the body to eliminate them. Goji has the ability to restore
enzyme system SOD, which is so important because of its anti-inflammatory
effects.
Supports healthy liver function (detoxifies). Goji contains
galactolipids, which has shown itself able to protect liver cells from even
hydrocarbons.
Minimizes symptoms of menopause. In traditional Chinese
medicine, many menopause symptoms are attributed to the violation of the kidney
yin. For a very long time, Goji is considered yin tonic, chosen mainly for restoring
hormonal balance.
Improves fertilization. Goji fruit is used for a long time Asian
physicians for the treatment of infertility, both male and female. Goji is
recognized, due to its unmatched ability to restore to women Ying (the essence of
reproduction). As for men, Goji polysaccharides have shown that they strengthen
the spermatic cells, and also proved to be potent inhibitors of structural degradation
and cell death of testicular cells due to stress.

of 28
It strengthens your muscles and bones. Goji facilitates the
secretion of HGH (human growth hormone), responsible for many important
functions of conservation, restoration and development. This includes the
production of smooth muscle and the introduction of calcium in bone and tooth
tissue.
Supports normal kidney activities. In traditional Chinese
medicine the kidneys are the organs of overriding importance to all vital organs. It
is believed that the kidneys control the brain and other organs. Correct renal
activity is considered the key to survival. Goji has a well-deserved reputation,
acting as a yin and yang on.
It improves memory and storage capacity. Goji - the first
"brain tonic" in Asia. Contains betaine, which is converted into Colin, a substance
sharpening memory and storage capacity.
Helps with dry, chronic cough. Goji is used by herbalists of
China without additives or in combination with other herbs to relieve cough and
cold.
Relieves anxiety and stress. As an adaptogen helps the body adapt
and overcome stress. Provides the necessary energy reserves to maintain self-
control under all difficulties.
Reinforces the joy and soul shine. It is said that constant
consumption of Goji is a joyful mood. Not without reason in Asia Goji is known as
"happy berry."
Atrophic gastritis - weakened digestion. For centuries Goji
has been used for the treatment of atrophic gastritis, a weakening, caused by
reduced activity of stomach cells. Goji itself is easily digested, especially when
taken in the form of high biological availability of juice.

of 28
Goji and antioxidants
Available elixir of youth, why wait for old age and disease? The dream of
every normal human being - to be healthy and live long, happy life, is it not? Once
the elixir of youth was only in fairy tales and legends, but today it is under a
completely scientific basis - antioxidants.
The natural antioxidants - can significantly lengthen life and to help cope
with many diseases. A little science lesson: Free radicals are atoms or molecules
that have lost an electron. They wander the body in search of their missing part,
and the way they get it back is to combine with oxygen-hence the term "oxidation."
When they do this they create another free radical (the molecule they took the
electron from), beginning a chain reaction that can cause the number of free
radicals in the body to increase to a dangerous level. Free radicals are dangerous
because the process of oxidation can damage cells, leading to conditions like
cataracts, heart disease, and even cancer. Anything that stops the process of
oxidation-in other words, an "anti-oxidant"-is good for the body. Fortunately,
nature has provided many plants that contain antioxidants, and the goji berry is one
of them.
Also take one tablespoon of Goji berries daily - keep skin and internal
organs young, purify the blood and liver!
Goji berries are known for their strong antioxidant effects through specific
polysaccharides, which are found only in these fruits, and are key elements to
maintaining good skin condition. In addition, the berries are rich in natural

of 28
antioxidants, such as zeaxanthin, carotenoids and other necessary elements, such as
fatty acids omega 3 and 6, whole trace elements (manganese, zinc, iron, copper,
nickel, chromium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, cobalt, selenium, cadmium,
phosphorus, germanium, etc.), beta sitosterol, minerals, sugars and amino acids.
Agricultural Research Bureau (ARS) under the Administration of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has proven that organic foods are high in
antioxidants can prevent many diseases and slow the aging process.
Losing weight
While taking Goji berries can be largely explained by an increase in metabolic rate,
acceleration of metabolism is due to a very large amount of antioxidants
(substances that prevent oxidative stress and cell damage). Acceleration of
metabolism leads to more rapid breakdown of fat, your energy increases, you are
less tired.
Taken together, the complex substances found in Goji berries makes the
process of losing weight faster and easier, without any side effects normally
associated with taking synthetic chemicals. Many scientific studies show that a diet
high in antioxidants is key to successful weight loss.
ORAC - A measure of the oxygen radical
absorbance capacity in foods
Free radicals, and the damage they can do at the cellular level, have received a lot
of attention in the last few years. The oxidative stress caused by free radicals —
which are produced during normal metabolism and cell function, as well as from

of 28
stress and pollutants in our air, water and food — is implicated in everything from
aging and wrinkling of skin to DNA damage, diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
This is clearly an issue for anyone concerned about their health, or just looking and
feeling younger, and is especially important for those engaged in strenuous
physical training.
Antioxidants to the rescue
The good news is that you're not left to the ravages of these free radicals.
Antioxidants offer powerful, effective protection for your body and cells against
their oxidative stress, by blunting the damaging effects of free radicals.
But, how can you tell which foods or other natural substances offer you the best
protection from the damaging effects of free radicals?
The ORAC Scale on antioxidant capacity
USDA researchers at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts , have developed a
laboratory test to measure the oxygen radical absorbance capacity of different
foods and natural substances. Known as the ORAC scale, it is one of the most
sensitive and reliable methods for measuring antioxidant capacity.
The first test of its kind, the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale
measures both the time and degree of free-radical inhibition.
All antioxidant capacity measures are estimated by Ferric Reducing Power, and are
expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent (TE) per 100 grams (µTE/100 g). The
ORAC test is accurate to +/- 5%.
