This
mighty Chinese berry was scientifically studied as early as 1949, according to the
National Library of Medicine (PubMed). Approximately 150 studies have been done
on Lycium barbarum, the botanical name for wolfberry, called goji in Chinese. [A
PubMed search was done on wolfberry, Lycium barbarum, lucii fructus, and Gouqizi (goji).]
The wolfberry is revered in China, where its numerous health benefits have been proclaimed
for millennia in traditional medical texts. Jam-packed with vitamins, minerals, amino
acids, polysaccharides, antioxidants, and more, wolfberries can honestly be described
as nature’s "magic bullet." What other fruit outperforms oranges and
carrots in vitamin power and also contains protein?
Since the introduction of Berry Young Juice® (the early version of NingXia Red)
in 2001, a lot of drinks containing wolfberry have appeared in the marketplace. But
when these other juices are tested for one sure measure of potency, their antioxidant
capacity, they fall far below our product. How can that be?
Something goes wrong between the wolfberry fields of China and the delivery of their bottled juice. Sadly, the goodness of wolfberries is compromised. The powerful nutrients found naturally in wolfberries are no longer there.
NingXia Red comes to you bursting with powerful health benefits because it contains
whole-fruit wolfberry puree, not just the juice. No one else uses this nutrient-dense
puree or the procedure that preserves the nutrient content of the wolfberry.
The essence of whole wolfberries is preserved in this power-packed puree using a
patented process that starts in China’s Ningxia province. The "Nutrient-Guard"
preparation captures the natural goodness of wolfberries, including the water-soluble
plant pigments that give them their unique reddish-orange color: flavonoids, carotenoids,
polyphenols, and anthocyanidins. Richly antioxidant, the therapeutic benefits of these
compounds are carefully preserved in this proprietary procedure and are guaranteed
to be found in each and every bottle of NingXia Red.
FAQ: Since the nutritional statistics for dried Ningxia wolfberries
are so outstanding, why bother with a juice? And isn't the power of the Ningxia wolfberry "diluted"
by the other ingredients in NingXia Red? see answer
"While wolfberry can grow in many different
locations, it is important to understand that the research found in this booklet
was conducted on wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), which originated in Ningxia,
China. Although there are actually 17 different species of wolfberries, the
Ningxia wolfberry is the most nutritionally dense, and the most researched
and tested wolfberry on the market."
"Both the mineral profile and mineral
balance of the Ningxia wolfberry is without equal in the plant kingdom, with
magnesium to calcium ratios at almost 1:1, zinc to copper ratios at 2:1 and
potassium to magnesium ratios at 8:1."
