Revolutionary Healing Benefits of Goji

by Kelt McManus

Goji berries can sustain an individual nutritionally for days or weeks by themselves and contain:

carotenoids – including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lutein, goji berries are nature’s richest source of colour-rich, antioxidant pigments known as carotenoids.

antioxidants – vitamins C & E, many minerals including germanium and especially their carotenoid colouring make goji berries the third most potent antioxidant food there is (behind cacao and acai).

protein – goji berries contain all essential amino acids and are an excellent source for complete protein.

polysaccharides – goji berries are a very rare food source of the long-chain sugars that make medicinal mushrooms medicinal and which are essential to health.

minerals – goji berries are a rare food source of the proven anti-cancer mineral germanium and contain many other minerals including zinc, copper, calcium, selenium and very high amounts of iron.

hgh secretagogue(s) - gojis contain one or more substances, likely sesquiterpenoids, which distinguishes gojis as the only food capable of stimulating human growth hormone, making them the food of choice for anti-aging.
