Potential Health Benefits of Goji

* Extend Your Life
Your body's ten trillion cells are under constant attack by free radicals. These harmful agents can accelerate aging by destroying vital body cells faster than they can be replaced. Goji's polysaccharides and powerful antioxidants defend against premature aging, fighting free-radical damage throughout the body.

* Increase Your Energy and Strength
Considered one of Asia's premier adaptogens, Goji increases exercise tolerance, stamina, and endurance. It helps to eliminate fatigue, especially when recovering from illness and can boost the immune system.

* Look and Feel Younger
Goji stimulates the release by the pituitary gland of the HGH( human growth hormone), the youth hormone. The benefits of the HGH are extensive and include reduction of body fat, better sleep, improved memory, accelerated healing, restored libido, and a more youthful appearance.

* Lower Blood Pressure
Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and/or kidney failure. A 1998 research study showed that increased blood pressure could be prevented significantly by Goji's polysaccharides.

* Reduces Your Risk of Cancer
Goji contains the anti-cancer mineral Germanium. It's antioxidants and polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Some scientists believe that Goji may be an especially good supplement to prevent liver cancer because it exerts liver protection and anti-cancer effects at the same time. This is important, as the liver is the body's primary detoxifying organ.

* Maintain Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Goji contains beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. Its anitioxidants keep cholesterol from oxidizing and forming arterial plaques. The flavonoids in Goji help to keep your arteries open and functioning smoothly.

* Balance Blood Sugar and Manage Diabetes
Goji has been used in china for the treatment of adult-onset diabetes for many years, and its polysaccharides have been shown to help balance blood sugar and insulin response. It also contains betaine, which can prevent fatty liver disease and vascular damage often seen in diabetics.

* Enhance Libido and Sexual Function
Scientific studies have shown that Goji markedly increases testosterone in the blood, thereby increasing libido in both men and women.

* Lose Weight
In an Asian anti-obesity study, patients were given Goji each morning and each afternoon. Results were excellent with most patients losing weight. In another study, Goji polysaccharides were shown to reduce body weight by enhancing the conversion of food into energy instead of fat.

* Relieve Headaches and Dizzyness
In Chinese medicine, Goji is used for the treatment of headache and dizzyness.

* Get Better Sleep
Goji has long been used throughout Asia as treatment for insomnia. In several medical study groups with elderly people, nearly all patients taking Goji reported better quality of sleep.

* Improve Your Vision
Modern Chinese Scientists have found that Goji is able to reduce the time it takes for vision to adapt to darkness. It also improves vision under subdued light. Blind spots were reduced in patients taking goji. Its powerful antioxidant carotenoids may also protect against macular degeneration and cataracts.

* Strengthens Your Heart
Goji contains cyperone, a sesquiterpene that benefits the heart and blood pressure. It's anthocyanins help to maintain the strength and integrity of coronary arteries.

* Inhibit Lipid Peroxidation
Cholesterol and other blood lipids can become deadly when they react in the body to form lipid peroxides. The accumulation of sticky lipid peroxides in the blood can lead to cardiovascular disease, heart attack, atherosclerosis, and stroke. Goji increases levels of an important blood enzyme that inhibits the formation of dangerous lipid peroxides.

* Improve Disease Resistance
The free radical superoxide has an important role in the onset and progression of human disease. Superoxide is neutralized in the body by the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), but you produce less SOD as you age. The stresses of everyday life can overwhelm your body's ability to produce sufficient SOD to ward off illness. Taking Goji has been shown to result in a remarkable 40% increase of the important SOD enzyme.

* Improve Immune Response
More than 40 years of research have revealed Goji's ability to regulate immunity by commanding and contolling many of the body's important defense functions. Goji polysaccharides enhance and balance the activity of all classes of immune cells, including T-cells, cytotoxic T-cells, NK cells, lysozyme, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and the immunoglobulins IgG and IgA.

* Cancer Treatment
Patients receiving a cancer drug together with Goji exhibited response rates up to 250 percent better than those obtained by the drug alone. These advanced cancer patients experienced amazing regressions of malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and malignant hydrothorax. Remission of cancers in patients treated with Goji lasted significantly longer than those treated without Goji.

* Restore DNA
DNA is the most important chemical in your body. It carries the blueprint for all the traits inherited from your ancestors, and also ensures that - as they need replacement- your ten trillion cells are reproduced as healthy exact duplicates. Exposure to chemicals, pollutants, and free radicals can cause DNA damage and breakage. Goji helps prevent mutations that can cause cancer.

* Inhibit Tumor Growth
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a crucial cytokine (cell protein)that induces potent anti-tumor responses in a variety of cancers. Goji polysaccharides have been shown in Chinese studies to enhance the production of IL-2. In the U.S., IL-2 has been under study as an immune promoting factor since 1983, used for some cancers and for HIV infection. Goji also has the ability to cause the death of tumor cells by inducing apoptosis, a process in which cancer cells are broken down and recycled.

* Reduce Toxic Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation
In one study, Goji was shown to enhance the effects of radiation in combating lung cancer, allowing a lower dose to be used. Other research indicates that Goji can protect against some of the noxious side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

* Build Strong Blood
Goji helps build strong blood by enhancing production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. In one study, the Goji Berry caused the blood of older people to revert to a markedly younger state. In another trial, vital red blood cells were protected against free radical damage by Goji's flavonoids. Goji has been used in a number of recent clinical trials for treatment of bone marrow deficiency conditions.

* Improve Your Lymphocyte Count
White blood cells are of cruical importance to the immune system. Goji increases lymphocyte count and helps to activate them when the body is under attack.

* Fight Inflammation and Arthritis
Scientific research over the past 20 years has shown that in acute and chronic inflammation the free radical superoxide is produced at a rate that overwhelms the capacity of the body's SOD enzyme defense system to remove them resulting in pain and damage to joints and tissues. Goji helps to restore balance of the anti-inflammory SOD enzyme.

* Support Your Liver
Goji contains a cerebroside that was shown to protect liver cells, even from highly toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons.

* Treat Menopausal Symptoms
In traditional Chinese Medicine Goji has been used to restore hormonal imbalance.

* Prevent Morning Sickness
Drinking two ounces of high quality Goji Juice mixed with hot water can help prevent morning sickness.

* Improve Fertility
In men, Goji polysaccharides have been found to extend the life of sperm cells, and also were shown to be potent inhibitors of stress-induced structural degradation and cell death in testicular cells.

* Strengthen Your Muscles and Bones
Goji facilitates the release of HGH, which is responsible for production of lean muscle and the incorporation of calcium into bones and teeth.

* Improve Your Memory
Goji contains Betaine, which is converted in the body into choline, a substance that enhances memory and recall ability.
