What's the Deal With Goji?

Goji berries are reputed to have significant natural anti-aging properties, and in the past few years this has been confirmed with a flood of scientific data and anecdotal evidence. The berries are also extremely high in nutrients and antioxidants and contain numerous highly beneficial agents that are quite rare to find in foods, especially together in one source. Although goji juice and goji berries have been a large part of traditional Asian medicine for countless generations, they did not make their way to the West until just recently, and have only now begun to make their way into the mainstream.

Goji berries grow naturally in the pristine valleys of the Himalayan Mountains in Tibet and inner Mongolia.

The history of goji juice and goji berries is quite interesting in itself.

Indeed, in their native areas it is true that there are actually yearly celebrations held in goji's honor. Many of the people in some areas of Tibet and elsewhere who regularly eat the berries are known to commonly live to be over 100 years old with no health problems (their lifestyle no doubt has a key role in this as well).
