Goji berry is one of the most unique nutritionally dense fruits and one of the finest antioxidants available. Its antioxidants keep cells from harmful reactive molecules called free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to healthy cells through oxidation. By consuming antioxidants like those in goji berries, free radicals can be neutralized and existing damage may even be repaired.

The true Goji Berry is much sweeter, better tasting, and has phyto-energetic properties that are so high that there is no comparison. Polysaccharides are the very large, long-chain sugar molecules that are nourishment for macrophages (large white blood cells) in the walls of the intestines. The macrophages are then transported to other immune cells, setting off a chain of beneficial defensive events in our body. Goji berries help in the treatment of kidney and liver problems and also used to lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and cleanse the blood.
