The Himalayan goji berry has been the subject of legend for centuries
in Asia, and its beneficial properties are being discovered in the
West. Many people now enjoy using Himalayan goji berry products in
their various forms, including goji berry juice, cream, bars and capsules.
There are Himalayan goji berry products to fit every need, lifestyle
and budget.
The Himalayan goji berry is as beautiful as its healthy, and a poem
from the Tang Dynasty describes its bright red fruit and emerald green
leaves. According to legend, a Himalayn goji berry tree grew next
to a well. As the months went by, the ripe berries were ungathered
and kept falling into the well. The ancients claim that those who
drew water from this well had a ruddy complexion, and their hair did
not turn white and they did not lose their teeth even when they were
well into their eighties.
Although few would make such extravagant promises, the Himalayan
goji berry undoubtedly has a beneficial effect on one's general health.
In addition to the nutrients that are present in the Himalayn goji
berry, there are also active ingredients known as polysaccharides
which act as master molecules in the body and which facilitate communication
between cells for smooth functioning. Every quality Himalayan goji
berry product should have this active ingredient, and the best companies
test their product for the presence of polysaccharides before, during
and at the end of the manufacturing process.
Himalayan goji berries are not sufficiently abundant to be the exclusive
type of goji berry used in most goji berry products,
but they are reputed to be the best variety of goji berry. It is worth
it to look on the label of your product to see what percentage of
genuine Himalayn goji berry is used. Goji berries from Mongolia and
Western China are also used in goji berry products, and are also of
a very high quality.
