Significance

Renowned in Asia as one of nature's most nutritionally dense foods, gojiberries have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for nearly 2,000 years. Their undocumented legend, however, is considerably older as wolfberries, now more popular as goji berries  are often linked in Chinese lore to Shen Nung (Shennong), China's legendary First Emperor, mythical father of agriculture, and herbalist who lived circa 2,800 BC.

If you have not yet heard of goji juice, you are not alone. While it has occupied an important place in traditional Asian medicine for countless generations, the secrets of its nutritional benefits have remained a mystery to most of the world.

Did you know that in some remote places in this world, a life expectancy of more than 100 years is not uncommon? Not only do people in these remote regions live long lives, they also enjoy abundant health and happiness.

What factors have contributed to their great fortune? These centenarians often live in isolated places. away from the harmful influences of modern civilization. Their diet contains fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and is low in animal fats.

Yet, even more importantly, a recent scientific discovery has revealed something the Himalayan people have known for thousands of years! Many of the world's longest living people consume regular daily helpings of a tiny red fruit that may be the world's most powerful food - the goji berry.

The Himalayan Health Secret^TM

It is said that the Himalayans were the first natural healers, and that they shared their wisdom with the ancient herbalists of China, Tibet, and India. Their prized secret was the fruit of the native goji vine, which had been flourishing in the Himalayan valleys since the beginning of time.

If you have not yet heard of goji, you are not alone. While it has occupied an important place in traditional Asian medicine for countless generations, the secrets of its nutritional benefits have remained a mystery to most of the world.

ONE-OF-A-KIND 7 STEP PROCESS FOR QUALITY JUICE PRODUCT

Overseen by Dr. Earl Mindell, Master Herbalist and Formulator of Himalayan Goji® Juice

1. Selection Criteria

Vine-ripened, Himalayan-quality berries are carefully harvested and sorted according to Dr. Mindell's Company's strict selection criteria, patterned after the ancient recipes and practices of the Himalayans.

2. Purification & Inspection

Berries are gently washed at a licensed, government-inspected juicing facility.       

3. Juicing Process

Berries are juiced to a puree by cold pressing through a micro-fine screen to remove seeds and stems.

4. Analysis and Testing

Goji puree is subjected to complete nutrient and microbiological analysis, and tested for absence of pesticide residues.                 

These first four are done by Freelife in China.

5. Proprietary Chill-Blending

Goji puree is combined with natural ingredients utilizing Mindell's Company's exclusive recipe and proprietary chill-blending methods to preserve the balance and content of the active polysaccharides.

6. Cold-Fill Process

The juice is cold-filled into costly, plasticizer-free pharmaceutical-grade bottles. This provides superior protection as compared to glass with no possibility of 'leaching'.

7. Final Testing

Finished juice is subjected to an exhaustive battery of tests, including Spectral Signature, polysaccharide

ADVANTAGES

Himalayan Goji Juice contains more than one kilogram of fresh lycium barbarum goji berries in every one litre bottle.

Himalayan Goji Juice is as close as possible to eating fresh berries because they are cold-processed while fresh and still nutritionally at their peak.

It contains 19 amino acids -- the building blocks of protein -- including nine that essential to the body.

It also contains 21 trace minerals.

Contains more protein than whole wheat

Himalayan Goji Juice contains Vitamin C at higher levels than oranges.

It contains complete spectrum of antioxidant carotenoids, including beta-carotene (a better source than even carrots) and zeaxanthin (protects the eyes). Goji berries are among the richest source of carotenoids of all known foods.

Himalayan Goji Juice contains Solavetivone, a powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial compound.

Himalayan Goji Juice contains essential fatty acids, which are required for the body's production of hormones and the smooth functioning of the brain and nervous system.

It even contains Beta-Sitosterol, an anti-inflammatory agent.

The nutrient label on dried Goji berry packets are sometimes based on fresh berries. Labelled correctly Vit C and Vit A are listed as zero. Dried berries cannot contain anywhere near the same levels of nutrients as fresh berries or our stabilized juice due to their exposure over time to air. Water-soluble nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin B, flavonoids break down quickly. Other nutrients like Vitamin E, carotenoids and Polysaccharides are a little more robust but still diminish with time.

The fresh berries used in Himalayan Goji Juice are subjected to a Spectral Signature to identify and isolate only those Goji berries with a high level of balanced fully active polysaccharides, which is the exact nutrient profile of the legendary lycium barbarum goji berries from the Himalayas.

Dried berries are not tested with a Spectral Signature, so there is no guarantee that they are the correct species of Goji. They are most commonly lycium Chinense an inferior species of Goji that is grown commercially away from the Himalayas, often using synthetic fertilizers and chemicals..

The polysaccharide levels in each bottle of Himalayan Goji juice is equivalent to more than 5 kg of dried berries because polysaccharides degenerate over time and most dried berries are 1-2 years old or more before consumption.

FAQ's about Himalayan Goji®Juice    

Is it okay for children to drink Himalayan Goji Juice?

Yes, Himalayan Goji Juice is great for the entire family.

Is Goji Juice only made with goji berries from the Himalayas?

Although they grow in the wild, goji berries are not cultivated in the Himalayas in sufficient quantity for large-scale distribution. The berries used in Goji Juice are selected from the world's best-known growing regions. These include Inner Mongolia, as well as Ningxia and Xinjiang in the pristine Heavenly Mountains of western China. We use only those berries that conform to the precise Spectral Signature fingerprint and balanced polysaccharide profile of the original Lycium barbarum (goji) of the Himalayas.

Will there be difficulty sourcing goji berries?

We have several sources of supply for goji berries and there are no concerns about difficulty in sourcing them.

Are the 4 polysaccharides unique to Himalayan Goji Juice?

The 4 polysaccharides are unique to goji, but can vary in quality depending on the ancestry of the plant and the growing conditions for a particular region in a particular year. Look for the juice with a Spectral Signature to ensure that you always receive the same high potency polysaccharides in exact balance when you drink Goji Juice.

What's all the fuss about ORAC?

ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a non-official, non-governmental, private for-pay service that puts a product through a simple test that results in a number that represents what they call "total antioxidant power." There are many different classes of antioxidants, however, and they each work differently. To a scientist, the ORAC number means little because it does not give specific information about what kinds of antioxidants are present. Because the test is so limited in what it measures, we have never done an ORAC test on our Goji Juice.

How much Goji Juice should someone drink on a daily basis?

We recommend 30-60 mls twice daily.  Children less.  You can drink more, remember this is only juice not a medicine.                                          

How are we ensured of the quality of Himalayan Goji Juice?

Look for a Seven-Step Quality Manufacturing Program to ensure that you receive the same consistent, standardized quality in every litre of Himalayan Goji Juice. A Spectral Signature is your assurance of potency, purity, and authenticity in every bottle.

How many pounds of goji berries are in a bottle of Himalayan Goji Juice, and why are fresh berries better than dried berries?

One litre of particular brand contains the polysaccharides equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh goji berries. As an alternative, we suppose that one could simply eat dried goji berries. However, our research indicates that the quality of commercially-available dehydrated berries can vary tremendously, and there's also a high probability that the polysaccharides in dried berries may have oxidized and degraded.

Does Himalayan Goji Juice contain vitamins and amino acids?

Himalayan Goji Juice is a high-tech functional food, specifically designed to preserve the content and balance of the goji berry's delicate and highly protective polysaccharides. It is standardized to a consistently high level of polysaccharides, in perfect balance. Dozens of published scientific studies have confirmed that these polysaccharides are the most important bioactive components, and are responsible for much of the benefit of the goji berry.

Are preservatives necessary in Himalayan Goji Juice and, if so, are they natural?

Yes. Freshness preservation is required to keep this chill-blended product from spoiling. Our brand of Goji Juice uses less than one-tenth of 1% of naturally derived sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in Goji Juice. Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a natural constituent of many fruits and vegetables. Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a natural component of berries. Both ingredients are two of the safest preservatives that can be used in food products. They are so safe that they are even on the FDA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list. The only way to totally avoid preservatives would be to hot-fill the product in glass bottles. Hot filling would destroy delicate active ingredients-the bioactive polysaccharides.

How soon should Himalayan Goji Juice be consumed after it is opened?

It is recommended that you consume Himalayan Goji Juice within 30 days after opening and refrigerating the bottle.

After Himalayan Goji Juice is opened, how long can it stay out of refrigeration and still remain effective?

For best-keeping qualities, keep Himalayan Goji Juice refrigerated after opening. It should not be left out for any more than a couple of hours, the same steps you would take for any food or beverage that must be refrigerated after opened.
