Goji berry?

Answer: It's a very good antioxidant, so it help to protect basically all the cell in your body. Because of that, a lot of general public use it as a general health tonic, some use it for integrated health, some use it for skin health... the account goes on.
It doesn't have a huge amount of Vitamin C surrounded by and of itself (if it did, they would legally have to enumerate it in the ingredients), but it has like mad of other natural antioxidants.
As a side note, it doesn't swallow very good compared to other berries, so lots Goji juice products you'll find on the market are habitually sweetened with other fruit juices. We hold hundreds of customers that take Goji on a regular basis, and I know here is a Multi-Level Marketing company that sells that as their main product, so it sell well enough world-wide, too..
There are something like 80 species but Lycium Barbarum is said to be the best.
The Gogi plant also known as wolfberry, is tolerant to -15 C to + 35 C, a hardy plant needing no special soil conditions. It have a deep root system and is drought tolerant. It grows to a height of 2-3 metres and bear long fruit bearing vines. It produces purple and white trumpet shaped flowers in summer followed by fruit within the autumn up to the first hard frost. The plant is deciduous and self pollinating.
The berries oxidise quickly and this is the rationale why fresh gogi berries are not found in supermarkets - but you can grow your own.
The gogi is called the jovial berry in China and used as food and herbal remedy for thousands of years . Ancient chinese medical texts praised them for strenthening the eyes, liver and kidneys aswell as fortifying the chi or duration force. Remarkable stories of longevity have been associated next to it.
