Have you heard of the wolfberry?  It is also known as the Goji Berry or the Chinese Wolfberry.

The wolfberry is an excellent source for a kidney liver cleanse.  The Chinese have used the berries for centuries for its medicinal properties and the Chinese believe that it prevents liver disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.  Although the Chinese have known the powers of the power of the wolfberry for centuries, it has recently become very popular in fruit drinks, as a dried fruit and as a freeze dried powder.  It has a high antioxidant count as well as is full of nutrients.  It is mostly high in selenium, which is also found in blueberries and soybeans.

As you know, antioxidants are very important more than ever because of the pollution and other toxins that we come in contact with on a daily basis.  These toxins and pollution cause oxidation on you and your body, so as a result, you need fruits to combat this process of oxidation.  That is why they are called anti-oxidants.

This powerful berry is known to cleanse the kidney and the liver.  It also lowers blood sugar levels, improves your vision, reduces your fever and can reduce or relieve menstrual cramps.

Because of the antioxidant properities, adding the wolfberry to your diet as well as other fruit can seriously improve your health.

Wolfberry

Although the wolfberry’s (also the goji berry) original habitat is unknown, researchers believe its origins are southeaster Europe or southwest Asia. China is the country that produces the berry the most. The berry contains lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) which helps the berry protect and repair cellular DNA. The berry is also an excellent source of 18 amino acids and 21 trace minerals. Like the acai berry, it helps with sexual health, a natural viagra, if you will.

Some nutritional benefits of goji berry are:

  • LBP
  • Vitamins
  • Amino Acids
  • Minerals

The berry can help with:

  • Damaged DNA
  • Sexual Dysfunction

In 2006, the World Journal of Gastroenterology suggested that extracts from the berry help prevent the proliferation and induce the self-destruct mechanism (apoptosis) of certain types of liver cancer cells.
