Traditionally, people have taken their vitamin supplements in a pill or capsule form. What most people don’t know is the low absorption at the cellular level when taken that way. Liquid vitamin products have been on the market for several years now. Trouble is, most people still don’t know the benefits of takining their nutritional supplements in a liquid form. For example, pills and capsules typically have a 25%-40% absorption rate, while in liquid form the absorption is typically greater than 90%! Some hard pills don’t even break down at all, leaving the body almost as complete as when they entered it.
Ask yourself: ”Would I prefer drinking my supplements with a tasty flavor, or continue swallowing or choking on pills and capsules as usual?”

Several companies claim to be selling “pure” goji juice. Unless it has been, and needs to be refrigerated prior to opening, something must be added in order to preserve the freshness of the product. Usually, it is an insignificant percentage and sometimes not put on the product label…sort of a “white lie”. Some companies disquise the goji berry juice flavor by adding apple juice, other sweetner, or anything that will mask the strange taste of the goji berry. Juice squeezed from fresh berries should have an orange color, while reconstituted juices normally will have a coffee color and a prunelike flavor. Most juices filter out the solid matter such as the peel, pulp and seed. Much of the nutrition is lost when this juicing process is done.
Some companies will claim to have various mg’s of goji in their bottle or serving, or varying number s of pounds of berries in their product. This is difficult to prove or disprove, however. In conclusion when asking questions prior to purchasing, consider the above information so you can make a more informed and intelligent buying decision.

Many common spices (parsley, curry, garlic, hot pepper) also are good sources of phytochemicals. Also new study advocates that greater total fat intake (about 35 percent or more of daily calories) cause a larger risk for breast cancer than lower total fat intake (about 15 percent of daily calories). So, try to limit total fat intake to less than 30 percent of daily calories in order to help in the prevention of breast cancer.

Goji berries have a long history in Chinese medicine and traditional food, spanning back over 6,000 years. Naturally, many studies involving goji berries have been performed at Chinese universities. The most well known study found goji berries to improve the health of cancer patients. But since then, further insight into the health properties of the goji berry has been made. The College of Public Health at Wuhan University tested the effects of goji extract in 2004. Diabetic rabbits were used as the subjects. Scientists found an increase in HDL (“good” cholesterol) and a reduction in blood glucose level. Then, in 2006, XingJiang Agriculture University compared the anti-oxidant effects of goji to vitamin C on aging mice. Polysaccharides in the berry helped compensate for the age-related decline in the mice’s immune system. On the flip side of testing, goji berries have also undergone scrutiny as a toxin. Atropine, a toxic alkaloid, occurs naturally in goji berries. (It is important to remember that even more traditional health foods can contain trace amounts of toxins — cyanide in almonds being a prime example.) In September 2006, scientists at the University of Graz in Austria tested goji berries grown in China and Thailand. The resulting atropine levels were found to be far below toxic levels. So, the goji berry can safely continue to enjoy its rise as a benefactor of health and prosperity.
