What is it about these tiny Chinese berries (also known as wolfberries) that has so captured our imagination? For one thing, it’s their reputation as a longevity food. It's reported that villagers who make gojis a regular part of their diet live well into their 90s and beyond. In China, goji is believed to increase the “chi” or life energy in those that eat them. As Americans become more concerned with aging, it’s natural that they would seek out the secrets of longevity, and gojis have a deep association with long life in the Chinese tradition. As we apply our scientific Western eye to traditional foods, we’ve been learning that there are generally very good reasons why indigenous people swear by them: they’re packed with nutrients. Goji berries are loaded with trace minerals, vitamins, and 18 amino acids. But more than that, they are jam packed with a combination of polysaccharides, carotenoids, and anthocyanins - plant chemicals with powerful health-supporting effects in the human body. Try finding those in your lab-formulated protein shake...they're not there! 18 amino acids, including all 8 of the essential aminos. 21 trace minerals (including zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus). Abundant in polysaccharides, which may help fortify the immune system; including one that has been shown to stimulate the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Goji Berries are also among the richest sources of carotenoids, including more beta carotene than carrots. They also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E. They contain 500 times the amount of vitamin C, by weight, than oranges, making them second only to Camu Camu berries as the richest vitamin C source on earth. They contain 11 mg of iron per 100 grams, beta-sisterol (an anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesq uiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine (0.1%).
