Goji berry in Chinatown
If you live in a large city that has a Chinatown, you can find goji berry at a cheap price of a few dollars per pound. Find goji berries that are moist, are the size of raisins, and if preferable come from the goji berry capital of China, Ningxia.
Goji berry health benefit
Goji berry has been used for centuries in Asia for eye health benefit and to maintain vitality. I cannot find any published research regarding the use of a goji supplement in humans or the benefit of drinking goji juice. I understand there are countless claims when one searches online for goji berry, but most of these claims are premature and not bases on human study results. The plain fact is goji berry research in humans is lacking, at least in the Western world.
Some of the online goji berry health benefit claims include such promises as, "Would you believe the average woman in the Himalayan Hunza tribe lives to be 100? And that arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, sexual dysfunction and depression are totally unknown to them? Goji can shut down cell aging in six hours! Their secret? The berry of the goji vine. Never heard of it? You're not alone. Goji has just become available in the U.S. "No plant in all of Asian medicine even approaches the benefits of Goji," says pharmacist and nutrition researcher Earl Mindell, Ph.D., author of "Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret". Start sipping it today and you'll reap rewards like ... all over cell rejuvenation, powerful protection against germs, a return to passion and sexual desire..."
I do believe that goji berry has health benefits and future research will indicate which of the goji marketing claims will turn out to be accurate and which will turn out to be overly enthusiastic. For the time being, it appears that one goji berry health benefit that has promise is in the realm of vision health. Goji berry has a high level of zeaxanthin which is a nutrient, along with lutein, necessary for optimal eyesight. I would suggest, though, rather than consuming goji berry predominantly, it would be a good idea to consume a variety of berries - cranberry, blueberry, strawberry, etc - in order to ingest a number of different phytonutrients.
mmm and the berries taste so good too much better then the juice, but the juice is faster.
that's interesting about the eyes bilberry is real good for that too kinda tastes like a tart blueberry.
