During the last few decades the health industry has boomed and supposed wonder drugs are getting explored every now and then. We have explored genetically modified crops, wholly organic cultivation and ever improved health supplements. But there are a few incredibly beneficial and completely natural ways of health enhancement waiting to be explored.

Goji juice is one of the most notable among them. Offering the unbelievable benefits of Lycium Barbarum berries, Goji juice is one of the best kept secrets of the Himalayas. Though unknown to the outside world, Goji has been held in esteem in the ancient wisdom of China, India and Tibet. The natives had benefited from the alkaline berry for over 3,000 years before its fame drew researchers and medical practitioners from outside.

Goji juice is made from Goji berry which is also known as Chinese Wolfberry or Tibetan Goji berry. Goji vines are grown in valleys of Himalaya, Tibet, parts of China and Mongolia. The alkaline berry is very tender and is locally known as “happy berry” because of the positive state it induces. The berry has also been used in traditional Chinese medicine for many centuries now.

In China the berries are eaten raw, drunk as tea and is cooked too. The natives consider Goji as a miracle drug but that depends on what one means by miracle. However, scientific research has proved that Goji is incredibly rich in vital elements that the human body requires. Goji supplies the body with 19 amino acids including eight essential ones, 21 trace minerals, Betaine, Physlin and high amounts of vitamin B and E and fatty acids. Vitamin B is essential for converting food into energy.

The berry is remarkable for providing elements that are normally not found in fruits and berries. Vitamin E is one such element. Even if they are the quantities are never so high. There is 11 mg of iron per 100 gm of Goji berry. It also has a protein content which is higher that of many cereals. Goji contains complex phytonutrients and bio flavinoids. A full range of antioxidant carotenoids are present in the berry. Antioxidants are instrumental in neutralizing the free radical with the body and are thus essential to keeping the body young and revitalized. The berry is also rich in polysaccharides which are necessary for fortification of the immune system.

The immense benefits of Goji berries are made widely available in the form of Goji juice. While dried or dehydrated berries are also available in the market, the benefits of Goji are best availed in the form of juice. Goji juice is available either in pure form which can be mixed with other natural juices according to taste or it comes pr-mixed with other fruit juices to neutralize the mildly bitter taste. However, post mixing it tastes great.

Goji juice is a completely natural way of enhancing health and ensuring a continued sense of well being. However, one has to be careful while selecting a brand of Goji juice as it is being extensively marketed across the world as a miracle drug and that has given rise to many fraudulent marketers. That is why you will have to source it only from a well established and reputed company.
