what is gogi juice?!


Question:
Answers:
Also known as wolfberry, Goji and lycium bark play important roles in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where they are believed to enhance immune system function, help eyesight, protect the liver, boost sperm production, and improve circulation, among other effects. In TCM terms, wolfberries are sweet in taste and neutral in nature; they act on the liver, lung, and kidney channels and enrich yin. They can be eaten raw, brewed into a tea, or prepared as a tincture.

Wolfberries are nutritionally rich, containing beta-carotene, Vitamins C, B1, B2 and other vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. Companies marketing the berries also claim the berries contain such nutrients as isoleucine, tryptophan, zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, phosphorus, B6, and vitamin E.

As a food, dried wolfberries are also eaten raw or cooked. Their taste is similar to that of raisins. Dried wolfberry is an ingrediant often used in chinese soups. Young shoots and leaves are also grown commercially as a leaf vegetable.

Since the early 21st century the dried fruit has begun to be sold in the West as a health food (typically under the name "Tibetan goji berry"), often accompanied by extensive claims regarding its purported health benefits. The berry is said to contain 2500 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit, making it one of the world's richest sources of vitamin C behind the Australian billygoat plum and the South American camu camu.

Companies marketing the berries often also include the unsupported claim that a Chinese man named Li Qing Yuen, who was said to have consumed wolfberries daily, lived to the age of 252 years (1678-1930).

The berries of the Goji (sometimes spelled Gogi) plant (Lycium Barbarum) have been treasured for centuries by the Himalayan people. These berries flourish in the tranquil valleys that are naturally protected by the Majestic Himalayan Mountains.

The nutrient rich soil and fresh mountain air guarantee nearly perfect conditions for the plants to blossom. GOJI (Gogi) Juice, formerly a Tibetan secret, was used in ancient recipes as a delicious tasting elixir that provided many natural benefits. Traditionally and presently, GOJI (Gogi) Juice has been used as a soothing, yet powerful, health promoting tonic.
