Description
Superfoodies Organic Goji Berries are a high antioxidant, nutrient dense food, containing good amounts of Vitamin C, caratenoids (such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin) and B vitamins. Goji berries are also rich in polysaccharides, a form of soluble fibre thought to aid digestion, reduce fatigue (particularly in sports recovery), and lessen the insulin response after eating, which is believed to help in balancing blood sugar levels. Goji Berries are delicious eaten alone or added to trial mixes, baked goods, raw treats, sprinkled on cereals or salads, or seeped in a berry tea.
According to various studies, goji berries contain compounds that may help to reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Researchers at Hong Kong Polytechnic University administered 15 grams of goji berries every day for a month to a group of healthy males, and compared their blood markers to a control group. The volunteers who ate the superfruit showed increased levels of zeaxanthin in the blood, an antioxidant that helps to preserve eyesight. Goji berries are also a natural source of Vitamin A, which is believed to help maintain night vision, as well as boosting immune function and protecting against skin damage.
