What makes Goji so special?

Polysaccharides are the active ingredients found only in goji berries; rich in anti-oxidants, they optimise immunity within the body and assist with disease prevention and control. Hence it is the unique healing properties of the goji berry that makes it so special.

Stress has an adverse affect on the immune system, as we all know you can literally “worry yourself sick”. Goji is an adaptogenic plant, i.e. the berries grow under highly stressed conditions and the plant learns to adapt. These virtues are then passed on from the plant to us e.g. aloe vera soothing burns.

Goji is the primary adaptogenic, which helps the body to maintain balance or “homeostasis”. It tones the vital organs and energy systems and is considered a “supertonic” as it positively affects the whole body.

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radical damage may lead to cancer.

Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals and may prevent some of the damage free radicals otherwise might cause. Examples of antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamins C, E, and A, and other substances such as polysaccharides.

What are polysaccharides?

Plants produce polysaccharides as a defense mechanism to alert them to danger, e.g. mould in the soil. They are cell signalling molecules, as the plant is under more stress, it creates more polysaccharides. The goji berry survives drought, flooding, desert conditions, thin air, ultra violet rays, heat and cold variations, it is so stressed it is capable of producing a range of results.

What is Lycium Barbarum?

Lycium Barbarum is the Latin name for the goji berry. If you search for entries in www.pubmed.gov, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature, you will find 89 related entries, referring to the numerous health benefits.

The goji berry thrives in the climate and conditions of North West China where it grows more abundantly than in the Himalayas. In China it is considered “The Red Treasure” and centuries ago was declared a miracle healing herb, which is celebrated in the annual goji festival every year.

What are the benefits of Himalayan Goji Juice?

Goji supports several systems in the body, including immunity, cardio vascular and digestion. It contains amino acids, minerals, anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids and works at the cellular level. Goji alkalises the body, neutralising free radicals and disease more easily.

What are the key areas of research into Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides?

• Free radical damage that leads to premature ageing
• Immune health
• Delay of chronic conditions
• Protection of neurons
• Cognitive function

How does Goji compare to the Acai Berry?

The Brazilian acai berry was first used as recently as 1954 and has to be processed to be edible. There is a trend to make exotic fruits into juice however the nutritious value varies enormously.

By comparison, there are records dating back centuries emphasising the healing benefits of the goji berry, such as “The Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing” one of history’s most important medical texts written 2000 years ago.

Is Goji Juice more nutritious than Mangosteen juice?

Mangosteen has no actual health benefits, mainly sugar, the only anti-oxidants are found in the rind rather than the fruit itself. Goji juice is far more nutritious as it is the berry of the goji fruit that contains the active ingredients.

Considered a ’super fruit’ goji is the most potent anti-oxidant known and modern scientific research is now proving the health benefits that the ancient healers of the Himalayas have known for centuries.

How about Noni Juice?

Himalayan Goji Juice is the real anti-oxidant solution, containing more than other juice, fruit or vegetable. If you want to drink just one product and know it is the best nutritional beverage, extensive scientific research confirms that goji rather than noni or any other product is the best choice.

Although goji contains nutrients such as beta-carotene, which are found elsewhere, no other fruit contains bioactive polysaccharides. Originally four unique polysaccharides were defined in goji, it is now up to 14 and counting as the research continues.

Are dried goji berries as good for me as drinking goji juice?

There is a big difference between fresh and dried fruits. Just consider the vibrancy of a colourful purple grape compared to a shrivelled brown raisin. Juice is more rapidly absorbed by the body and is also more consistent that dried fruit.

It is commonly known a good meal includes a variety of different coloured fruit and vegetables; the colour means the produce is still active. Hence you are receiving far fewer nutrients from dried goji berries.

What about powdered goji?

Although powdered goji is better than none, it dries out and de-grades the polysaccharides and it is far more beneficial to drink a living product, which needs to be refrigerated.

How does Himalayan Goji Juice compare to other Goji Juice available?

Himalayan Goji Juice contains the highest quantity of bio active polysaccharides, the product with the next highest amount has only 27% content. Himalayan Goji is based on 8 years of research and development by Freelife International, which created the goji phenomenon.

You can’t receive the same benefits from any other product; it is safe, natural and highly nutritious.

Is Himalayan Goji Juice organic?

It is as good as organic, however Freelife are waiting for a government body to certify it rather than relying on Chinese certification. The process is controlled every step of the way from the vine to the bottle for complete quality assurance.

Sustainable growing methods are used; the crops are harvested by long established family run enterprises and governed by fair labour practices.

The Himalayan Secret®

If you have not yet heard of goji, you are not alone. While it has occupied an important place in traditional Asian medicine for countless generations, the secrets of its nutritional benefits have remained a mystery to most of the world. Through the ages, legends abound about this miraculous fruit and festivals are held to celebrate its goodness.

The First Healers

It is said that the Himalayans were the first natural healers, and that they shared their wisdom with the ancient herbalists of China, Tibet, and India. One of their most prized secrets was the fruit of the native goji vine, which had been flourishing in the Himalayan valleys since the beginning of time.

Those who came there to learn took the goji home with them and planted it in their own valleys, thus spreading the legend of this most marvelous fruit. Since its discovery in the Himalayas, those who know of the remarkable goji berry are awed by its unmatched ability to maintain wellness.

Dr. Earl Mindell’s Most Important Wellness Discovery Ever

Widely regarded as the world’s #1 nutritionist, Earl Mindell’s research has resulted in many important discoveries. He was largely responsible for creating the “nutritional revolution” with the publication of the Vitamin Bible; the biggest-selling nutritional book ever.

A Dream Come True

“As a pharmacist and nutritionist dedicated to helping others optimise their well-being, it is a dream come true to bring the miraculous goji to the world. I believe that Himalayan Goji ® Juice will have more powerful benefits on well-being than any other product I have seen in the last 40 years.” Dr. Earl Mindell

In Search Of The TRUE Goji

Just as there are many varieties of grapes for wine making, there are many varieties of goji, as many as 41 species growing in Tibet alone! Dr. Mindell knew he must exhaustively analyse the dozens of varieties to find the one true goji that had been discovered by the early Himalayan healers.

In the same way that human fingerprints can be used to distinguish one person from all others on the planet, a spectrometer can detect even subtle differences between berries at the molecular level. This technique results in the generation of a graph; a unique fingerprint for whatever is being tested – a Spectral Signature.

After years of dedicated scientific research, FreeLife® is the only company in the world to have developed a Spectral Signature to identify, isolate, and harvest only those special goji berries with the exact nutrient profile of the legendary goji from the Himalayas.
