GOJI BERRY HEALTH BENEFITS OF DAILY USE
Long History: Highly recognized as the anti-aging fruit, goji berries, or lycium barbarum, are a real gem of the superfood family. The uses of Goji berries were first recorded in the "Book of Poetry," written 3000 years ago in China. Super rich in powerful antioxidants, they benefit and nourish the skin, eye, immune system, and much more according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Flavors: Deliciously sweet and slightly chewy, these non-GMO treats are simply irresistibly tasty.

Studies demonstrated that consuming high amounts(greater than 6.9 mg per day) of lutein and zeaxanthin lowers the risk for developing age-related macular degeneration, and other eye health issues. Normal western diet provides 1 - 3 mg per day of lutein and zezxanthin combined, which according to experts are not enough to offer protection against vision loss. The amount of zeaxanthin in dried goji berries is reported to vary from 50 mg to 150 mg per 100 gram of the fruit.
