This berry not only contains superoxide dismutase, phenylpropaniods, anti cancer inhibiting factors and anti senility factors, but it also has a high concentration of the branched-chain amino acid L-Ieucine. This amino acid forms the building block of a very unique compound called HMB (Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) through the phenylpropabiod activity, this berry converts leucine into HMB. HMB lowers total and LDL cholesterol levels in blood and helps strengthen the immune system while building muscle tissue and burning body fat.

Of the many varieties of Lycium, the Tibetan Goji berry has earned the respect of the great Physicians of Tibet for many centuries. The Tibetan variety of Lycium called Goji is considered to be the Mother of all Lyciums! It grows in very remote unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special nurturing vitality.

Goji is the ancient colloquial name given only to this Tibetan variety of Lycium berry by the indigenous Tibetan and Mongolian people of the region. Local wildcrafters are careful to distinguish the Goji berry from its distantly related offspring, the Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), pointing out that whilst the later evolved (over centuries) from the Goji berry, its genetic makeup differs considerably, as do the regions within which these two different berries are growing.

Tibetan Goji berries are not Chinese wolfberries and it is not correct to call the Chinese wolfberry 'Goji'. The great Tibetan Goji berry is a different plant then the Chinese wolfberry and grown in a different country. The nutrient dense energy of the Tibetan Goji berry has been recognized as having the highest in nutrient energy of all the 80 plus varieties of Lycium berries on Earth. Many marketers often call there wolfberries 'Goji' to give them special importance.

How do you use Goji berries?
It is easy to enjoy this berry, just eat them, add them to hot and cold cereal, porridge, grains, casseroles, stews, baked goods and trail type mixes for snacking throughout the day for added stamina and delight. About a half kilo per month is an average amount to use that will support immune strength and vitality.

In 2500 years there is no reported discomfort from continual use, only benefits. It is said in Tibet that eating a handful of these berries a day will make one happy for the entire day.

The Tibetan Goji Berry is not organic by US standards as it has not been approved organic but it is grown in protected wild areas without pesticides, herbicides - not farmed.

The Tibetan Goji Berry grows in profusion in remote wild areas with vines reaching over twenty feet. The round red berries are harvested in the late summer and early autumn by being shaken onto mats, then shade-dried before packaging on location. Every year they are tested for purity and that they are free of any chemical pesticides.

We feel these wildcrafted berries exceed any organic standards set by any country in the world and because they are wildcrafted they have more nutrient energy then cultivated varieties such as the Lycium barbarum abundantly available from China.
