Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has esteemed the Goji berry for centuries.  Traditional sources praise its value as a tonic for debility and to improve the vision.

Goji berry is known to be one of the richest sources of highly bio-available beta-carotene which contributes to improved eyesight and visual acuity.

Goji berries contain more wide range of nutrients such as  beta-carotene, essential amino acids, numerous trace elements, vitamins such as B1, B2, B3 and C, and antioxidant and immune stimulating polysaccharides – the same chemicals known to be responsible for the immune-building properties of medicinal mushrooms.

Goji berries contain an active ingredient which is an immune sugar – similar to the one in echinacea – known as lycium barbarum polysaccharide or LBP for short which contributes to some of its benefits.

A NOTE ON TINCTURES

Tinctures are more readily absorbed by the body and have a high degree of bio-availability. As well, they have a long shelf life.

Sometimes people ask us why tinctures are alcohol-based. There are very good reasons. Alcohol is critically important in the extraction of an herb's medicinal ingredients. It also helps to stabilize and preserve them. Alcohol is the ideal carrier substance, conveying the therapeutic goodness of the herb to the body. In itself, too, science has proven that alcohol enhances the immune system and its defences.

As for the amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn that it's about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!

Tinctures remain the most practical way to take advantage of the amazing, health-giving power of herbs.
