diff between goji and other better ones-Ningxia Red

[Guest guest]

from a friend in USA who asked someone who knows more then most.

 

Goji is a slang term for woflberries. BUT, Himilayan Goji juice is

definately not the same as Ningxia Red. There is no anti-oxidant capacity of

that juice of any kind. We're actually kind of baffled to what is really in

it because it should read something. Many substandard juices are comprimised

primarily of grape, pear, and apple juice. To the average consumer, they do

not know these are nothing more than cheap, filler junk juices. They use

them to sweeten and to fill - there is no nutritional value. Also, it is

important to note that where the wolfberries come from is very important.

They do NOT grow in the Himalayas! The altitude is too high and the bush

does not berry! So many people have been sold on that bill of goods. The

ONLY berries that have been shown to create significant health effects

through research are the berries from the NINGXIA provence in China. This

area is at the base of the Yellow River and there is very alkaline soils

just full of minerals. This is what creates a superfood like that which we

have in Ningxia Red. It is also important to note the other juices coupled

with the Ningxia Wolfberries. Blueberry, pomegranate, apricot, and raspberry

are all well documented health contributing juices - not junky filler. Also

we use grape seed, skin and stem extract as a preservative and it also has

an antibacterial effect. We sweeten the juice w/ agave nectar, a very low

glycemic burning ingredient that comes from the agave cactus. Then of course

there is lemon and orange essential oils in it.

So, is Goji juice and Ningxia Red the same - definately not. You'd have to

drink truckloads of that juice (literally) to get the same effect as 1 ounce

of Ningxia Red. That is truth!
