GOJI JUICE
Goji has taken the health supplement industry by storm! Goji fever has swept through the USA, Canada, Australia and is now moving through South East Asia. In 2003, research was completed on the goji berry revealing its amazing nutritional density and four unique polysaccharides. Goji's health benefits are backed up with an incredible amount of international research. "In the 25 years I've worked in the wellness industry, I've never seen greater benefits than I have with goji juice..."The amount of scientific research supporting Goji's powerful disease fighting properties is significant. Pubmed.com (search term = Lycium barbarum) lists over 70 independent studies. Pubmed is the US government's comprehensive database of 15 million medical journal citations. Goji studies have been published in renowned health journals including:
Doctors Speak OutRenowned doctors and researchers such as Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega (a cancer specialist who trained at Johns Hopkins University) have conducted case studies with their patients, documenting the effects of goji on major disease. The results are stunning!Dr.Marcial-Vega's ground-breaking research deals with the effects of goji on the body's PH balance and its ability to normalize alkalinity leading to optimal health. "Goji Juice has tremendous impact on health and optimal functioning of the human body."To hear what other doctors have to say please follow these links: Sandra Lee Boice, MS, PhD Ron Friedman, MD Peter Lazarnick, Chiropractor Carlos Orozco, BS, MS, PhD Matthew Silver, MD Marc Westaway, MD F.E. Nicley, MD "The results I have seen with goji juice are nothing short of astonishing""Goji Juice is the cornerstone to health and vitality" - reports Harvard Medical School graduate
The small red goji berry grows in many regions throughout the Himalayas and Central Asia. It has occupied an important place in traditional Asian medicine for generations. No medicinal plant in all of Asian medicine can approach goji for its incredible diversity of legendary benefits.
Just take a look at what this wondrous berry contains:
Taking goji juice on a daily basis gives your body access to the powerful active principles in goji berries – ‘Polysaccharides’. These are the real miracle workers in goji! Polysaccharides are a family of complex carbohydrates (plant sugars) bound to proteins. They are produced by some plants as an effective defense mechanism against attack by viruses, bacteria, fungi, soil-borne parasites, cell mutations, toxic pollutants and environmental free radicals. Many of these protective effects are passed onto to us when we eat plants rich in polysaccharides (or drink goji juice!). The Secrets In GojiScientists discovered four unique polysaccahrides in goji that have not been discovered in any other food source to date.Scientists called them LB1, LB2, LB3 and LB4. These turned out to be glycoconjugates meaning they are exceptional sources of the essential cell sugars - rhamnose, xylose, glucose, mannose, arabinose and galactose - that are necessary for proper immune function and intercellular communication.
Modern studies have confirmed many of the traditional health-giving properties of the goji berry.Chinese researchers have published studies in peer-reviewed journals which support the use of phytochemicals (particularly polysaccharides) found in goji to heal or prevent chronic fatigue, cholesterol oxidation, and to support the immune system.Other studies have found that goji can defend the body against free-radical attack, hypertension-induced damage to kidney cells, and periodontal disease. These studies have given rise to the discovery of even more far reaching benefits although there are 34 properties which are commonly listed as the top benefits of goji juice. Let's look at the most powerful of these. The Lifestyle You Want
Of all these health benefits, goji juice seems to be most well known for its anti aging properties. In his book ‘Goji - The Himalayan Health Secret’, Dr. Earl Mindell reveals a longevity secret that redefines the meaning of healthy aging. This secret has been the key to long life for thousands of years among the people in remote areas across Asia. Their energy, mental agility, sexual vigor, and overall vitality in old age has baffled scientists for a long time. After spending years exploring the link between longevity and nutrition, Dr. Mindell discovered that many of the world's longest living people have something in common: "They consume regular daily helpings of a tiny red fruit that just happens to be the world's most powerful anti-aging food: the goji berry”.
Different Varieties Of GojiThere are over 40 species of goji that grow in Tibet alone. Each variety has its own distinctive appearance, color and taste, and most importantly differs from the others in its medicinal powers.Science to the rescue. After rounding up goji samples from around the world, scientists used spectroscopic analysis - a molecular fingerprinting technique - to single out the highest-quality, most nutrient-dense berries with the highest absorption in humans. This spectral signature was then used to identify the ideal berry. It turns out that goji berries that originated from the Himalayan region consistently possess the ideal spectral signature! They come from the Lycium family and are known as Lycium barbarum (latin name). So the first thing you need to consider if you are thinking about purchasing goji juice is the type and origin of the goji berries used to make it. After that you need to look for the special spectral signature. It's your assurance of potency, purity, and authenticity. There are many brands of goji juice available for purchase on the internet and through MLM. Unfortunately they are manufactured from inferior dried goji berries grown in different countries and do not conform to the spectral signature of the world’s best berries nor are they standardized to a high level of balanced polysaccharides. (Drying the berries removes some of the nutrients.) Further down I’ll point you to goji juice I use. There’s only one company in the world licensed to sell goji juice containing berries with the spectral signature (and the juice is cold pressed soon after harvest to maintain all nutrient content). Please don’t settle for lesser benefits from dehydrated berries or unstandardized goji juice drinks.
Goji juice is currently exploding in popularity in the west. Unfortunately whenever a genuine health promoting discovery such as goji is made there are many that quickly jump on the bandwagon with knock-off and spin-off products of lesser quality. This has become all too apparent with goji juice drinks and goji products. While researching this article I visited many goji juice sites and I must say that although the products are not made from best Himalayan berries, the marketing efforts of the manufacturers are very clever. They discuss the differences in Goji varieties and the need to use “only true Tibetan berries” or words to that effect - making it seem like they do indeed use the best berries with the strongest medicinal powers. The key of course is the fingerprint spectral signature which they fail to mention. To see the real goji juice I use please follow this link. I will be continuing to incorporate goji juice as an addition to my nutritional supplement foundation now that I’ve experienced its incredible wellness improving effects. My own results definitely make me feel comfortable in recommending goji juice to all readers of my site. End:- goji juice 'Good Health Always' Goji juice back to home page
