Why Goji berries? Here are some of the reasons:

• Contains 18 amino acids -- the building blocks of protein -- including all 8 essential for life (higher than bee pollen contains).
  
• Contains 11 essential and 22 trace minerals -- including calcium, selenium, zinc, iron and potassium.  PLUS germanium (which is rarely found in food).
  
• Contains more protein than whole wheat --13 percent more.
  
• Contains a complete spectrum of antioxidant carotenoids, including beta-carotene (a better source than even carrots) and contains zeaxanthin (which protects the eyes) PLUS:  lutein, lycopene, beta-cryptoxanthin, and xanthophyll.  (77% of the carotenoids found in goji are zeaxanthin)
  
• Goji berries are the richest source of carotenoids of all known foods.
  
• Contains more vitamin C per ounce than those found in oranges.
• Contains B-complex vitamins:  B1, B2, and B6, necessary for converting food into energy.  Goji berries are an excellent anti-oxidant food.
• Contains vitamin E, which is rarely found in fruits (usually found only in grains and seeds).
• Contains phytosterols, including betasitosterol, an anti-inflammatory agent.  Betasitosterol also lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol, and has been used to treat sexual impotence and prostate enlargement.
• Contains essential fatty acids including linoleic acid and alpha linolenic acid.  It is the only berry source of omega 3s, which are required for the body's production of hormones and the smooth functioning of  the brain and nervous system.
• Contains cyperone, asesquiterpene that benefits the heart and blood pressure and alleviates menstrual discomfort.
• Contains solavetivonea (a powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compound).
• Contains physalin.   It has also been used as a treatment for hepatitis B.
• Contains betaine, which is used by the liver to produce choline, a compound that calms nervousness, enhances memory, promotes muscle growth and protects against fatty-liver disease.  Betaine also provides methyl groups in the body's energy reactions and can help reduce levels of  homocysteine, a prime risk factor in heart disease.  It also protects and restores our DNA. [FYI:  The average DNA, in a human cell, is hit 10,000 times by free radicals in a single day.]
  
• Provides antioxidant protection.  In Oriental medicine, goji is said to correct chi (life force) deficiency, meaning conditions such as low energy, insomnia, heart palpitations, and even anxiety.
• Mature fruits contain about 11 mg of iron per 100 grams, beta-sisterol (a very powerful anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine (0.1%).
• Goji Berries contain 8 polysaccharides and 6 monosaccharides which fortify the immune system.  (Over one-third of the constituents of goji berries are polysaccharides which have a potent effect on the functioning of the immune system.)  AND one polysaccharide found in this fruit has been found to be a powerful secretagogue (a substance that stimulates the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone (hGH) by the pituitary gland).
  
• Goji is an Adaptogen -- an adaptogen is something that helps the body adapt to stressors.
  

Fight the Effects of Modern Society with Age-Old Wisdom

In three recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials, GoChi™ proved extremely effective for human health in 19 key areas.  In the initial groundbreaking study, which has been accepted for publication by the highly respected Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, participants drinking just 4 ounces daily saw positive results in multiple categories of health and well-being in as little as 14 days.  Two subsequent clinical studies showed that drinking 4 ounces of GoChi on a daily basis significantly improved the body's immune system and antioxidant capacity within just 30 days.  The 19 benefits identified in FreeLife's three GoChi clinical studies are no coincidence.  They are all interrelated, and have been collectively termed The GoChi Effect™.
