Goji berry products have been now one of the most popular natural medicines in the market as it boasts a lot of health benefits through its nutrient components. Goji berries actually have more Vitamin C compared to oranges, more iron than meat, and more beta carotene than carrots. They also contain a considerable amount of Vitamin B complex and of course antioxidants. The list still goes on with the nutritional contents of these popular berries but what could be also intriguing to consumers is the right amount of goji berries to be taken daily.

According to experts, there’s no worry about the maximum amount in taking goji berries as there have been no claims of harmful side effects from these products. Although we may take it from there, the recommended consumption would still be according to moderation.

Nutritionist says that daily intake of 10 to 30 grams of dried goji berries is enough for best results. You can ingest them per se, mix them with your cereal or take them with your milk or juice. You can also make tea by adding 5 to 10 grams of the berries into 1/2 cup of boiling water; suggested boiling time is 15 minutes and let it stand to cool. This amount of concoction is enough to give you a daily serving of its health nutrients. On the other hand, recommended daily dose of goji berries in capsule forms is only 2500 milligrams. The number of capsules to be taken however depends on brands as they contain varying amount of doses.

These suggested servings of goji berries also aim to emphasize to each consumer that although these products may have great nutritional contents, everyone is still in need of nutrients from other foods such as vegetables, fruits, meats, and dairy products. Everything must be in balance to achieve maximum benefits for your health.
