Has anyone heard anything about the Goji berry? I work at GNC and someone who was in good shape came in and bought a bottle of our Goji juice, I asked him if he had taken it before, and he said he loved it. I did a little research about it on the web and it looks interesting at least.
I was curious if anyone around here had taken it, or even heard of it, if so what did they think of it? Thanks for the help.
a md doctor friend of mine has been very interested in this and has shown me some stdies and advertisements. interesting. has anyone here taken it and what are your thoughts on it?
I have recently started to learn about them. They are frequently called Chinese Wolfberries and have been used in TCM for centuries as an antioxidant and multiple other uses. I have seen that the levels in the Goji drinks seem to be very low and many TCM practitioners recommend eating the berry whole or making a tea out of it. Just google Wolfberry and you can learn a ton about them and some places to order them too.
Here’s a pretty good broken down explanation.

I’ve tried the juice before after studying about it but I feel Mangosteen has higher antioxidant benefits. I guess the “best” would be a blend of them.
They sell them in bulk at my supermarket. They taste pretty good; not quite as sweet as a raisin, but I like them. I use to eat an ounce daily.
