Garden Greens Goji Splash Powder

Goji Berries have long played important roles in traditional Chinese medicine where they are believed to enhance immune system function, improve eyesight,  protect the liver, boost sperm production and improve circulation, among other effects.  They act on the liver, lungs, and kidneys. They can be eaten raw, consumed as juice or wine, brewed into an herbal tea. The berries are also used in traditioal Korean medicine, traditional Japaness medicine and traditional Tibetan medicine. 

The Goji berry contains molecules that form their own unique chemical structure unlike anything else found in nature. This structure, known as Lycium Barbarum polysaccharides (LBP), may be one of the reasons why Goji berries may help provide age-defying and immune support benefits.

 Garden Greens Goji Splash Powder is a delicious juice concentrate made from antioxidant rich berries harvested from the Lycium plant. These translucent red berries, known as Gou-Qi-Zi or Goji, are treasured by cultures all over Asia because they are believed to provide age-defying and immune supporting benefits.

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) provides a method of measuring the overall antioxidant power of foods and supplements. Antioxidants are essential to good health, especially with respect to aging and age related disorders. Scientists have learned that phytochemicals, including antioxidants, increase our resistance to disease and boost immunity. Hence the recommendation of 5-9 servings of fruits and vegatables each day.

Simply put, the higher the ORAC value of food the more antioxidant power it contains. The focus on "foods" is significant as scientists have found that antioxidants are most effective when received from a whole food.

3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day are required

Studies show that the average person gets only about 1200 ORAC units per day from 3 servings of fruits and vegetables.
However 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day are required to have a significant impact on plasma and tissue antioxidant capacity.

The chart below shows the fruits and vegetables found to be highest in antioxidants. ORAC numbers shown are for 100 grams, the higher the ORAC number, the greater the amount of antioxidants in the food.
