In The Past Decade, The Wolf Berry Has Become One Of The Star Children Of The Berry Family.

As is the case with many natural health products, the proof is not necessarily in the tests, but in the testimonials. I personally know of many suffers of ME, Fibromyalgia and other 'incurable' ailments who swear by Goji berry benefits. On the other hand, my doctor would probably try to tell me otherwise. I know who I believe!

First of all, what is the Goji berry? The Goji berry, also called the Chinese Wolfberry, is a small, red, raisin-like berry with an incredible nutritional make-up, grown in the sub-tropical climates of China, Mongolia and Tibet.

The many Goji berry benefits to be had begin first with their intricate collection of molecules, including polysaccharides, which are sugar molecules believed to support the body's immune system. Polysaccharides are also known to be a great source of probiotic fibers, which are the fermentable portions of soluble fiber that are processed into SCFAs, or short-chain fatty acids, within the intestines. This then provides beneficial nutrients for the probiotics within the intestinal tract to aid the body with vital functions like digestion and the absorption of nutrients.

Offering numerous health benefits, Goji berries are touted as a tonic for helping keep the internal organs functioning properly as well as for keeping the body's energy in tune. Highly regarded as China's national treasure, the Goji berry is finally getting much needed attention in the West. Containing an impressive concentration of iron, they are also important to the circulatory system as well.

Predominantly grown in the northwestern portions of Tibet and China, which boast some of the purest soil in all of the world, Goji berries come from the Lycium plant, an evergreen bush with vines that may reach as high as 10 to 15 feet.

Truly a food to marvel at, they are relatively small, growing only as long as one to two centimeters, and having a taste that's been described as both sweet and sour. Often used in teas, soups, and rice meals, Goji berries are also sold fresh throughout the temperate regions of China where they grow wild.

The great thing about them is that they make a super healthy snack without worrying about packing on the pounds, and for anyone who suffers from depression you'll know why that's such a big deal... as the saying goes, a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips!

Don't keep putting it off, wondering if they really would make a difference for you. The best way to find out is to try it yourself, risk free. Don't go out and spend a small fortune on them before trying them out. Get hold of a free sample and 'try before you buy'! For just the price of postage, you can get your own free sample of Goji berries.

And because Goji berries are such small, fragile fruits, they must be slowly and carefully harvested by hand, and what's even more time consuming is that all of the berries must be processed into juice form within the first 24 to 48 hours following harvest in order to retain their many nutrients.
