As the knowldege of the Eastern healing tonics is quickly becoming
available in the West, more and more people are asking "What is goji?"
Goji is a bright, red berry that grows in Asia. The most famous and
valued goji berry is grown in the Himalayas, but this variety is difficult
to harvest in massive quantities. "What kind of goji" is as an important
question as "What is goji?"; over forty varieties grow in Tibet alone,
and it is important to buy products made from goji berries that are
rich in polysaccharides, the active ingredient that facilitates communication
between cells.
People often ask "what is goji" when they are startled by all of
the goji products on the market, including juice, cream, capsules
and seeds. What is the best goji product for you? Juice is very convenient
and tasty, but capsules are also a good option for those on the go.
It pays to spread the word about goji, and when people ask "what
is goji", encourage them to try the many goji products themselves
for at least a month so they can be convinced of goji's benefits.
Goji is not a radical, miracle cure, but has a gradual, benefical
effect.
Answering the question "What is goji" is a major project for world-famous
nutritionist Dr. Earl Mindel, who has said that
sharing his knowledge of the benefits of goji with the world is a "dream
come true". He
has done research on the beneficial effect of
polysaccharides on health, and has found a way of analyzing goji berries
for quality and for concentration of active ingredients. He has been
quoted as saying that the goji berry has "more powerful benefits on
health, well-being and anti-aging than any other product I have seen
in the last forty years."
