Why Is The Tibetan Goji So Special?
The Authentic Tibetan Goji Berry is grown in an area that experiences some of the most harsh and extreme weather conditions on planet Earth. There are not too many places that have to contend with temperature extremes as the Tibetan highlands. Often in winter the temperature falls to below – 40C, and in summer the days often heat up to 30C. On top of this, there is the thin atmosphere to contend with. At well over 4,000 metres there is around one third less oxygen than at sea level. During summer, the long sunny days create very high levels of solar energy. The Goji Berry has not only survived in these harsh conditions, but it has thrived. It has been scientifically proven that these harsh growing conditions have caused this tiny little berry to develop very unique properties.
The Goji Berries are grown in the mineral rich soil of the Himalaya Mountains, and the authentic berries contain trace minerals including manganese, magnesium, calcium, zinc, kalium, iron, cobalt, copper, selenium, germanium, nickel, chromium, cadmium and phosphorus, as well as many more. The Tibetan Goji Berry also boasts a large number of antioxidants, and contains 18 amino acids, fatty acids, more Beta Carotene than carrots, and 500 times more Vitamin C by weight than oranges. As well, it contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E. But it is the bioactive polysaccharides in the Tibetan Goji that hold the key to its amazing health benefits.
Four of the polysaccharides are unique to the Goji, and they are more powerful than any others that have every been found in any plant on our planet. Scientists explain that these polysaccharides work in the body as directors and carriers of the information that cells use to communicate. These master molecules are not only in command but they control many of the body’s most important biochemical defense systems as well as balancing the body’s chemistry.
