The reason why black goji berry extract is precious is because of its raw materials. Firstly, black goji berries are pure natural wild plants that mainly grow in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, and Qinghai. They need to be picked manually, and only one good black goji berry can be selected from every ten. Moreover, fresh fruits can only yield one pound of dried fruit per ten pounds after being dried, resulting in a scarce yield and relatively high value.
In addition, the nutrition in black goji berries is also very abundant. Although black goji berries do not contain the carotenoids found in regular goji berries, their vitamins, zinc, and other elements are more than twice that of red goji berries, and their amino acid content is relatively high. In addition, they contain more than four times more iron than regular goji berries.
The nutritional value of black goji berries goes beyond these. Among them, there is a nutrient element with the highest content in nature, which is anthocyanin. This is a natural antioxidant that can eliminate free radicals in the human body and resist oxidation. Black goji berries are the king of anthocyanins, far surpassing blueberries. This also makes it known as “soft gold” by people.
Black goji berry extract has multiple physiological effects:
- Immunomodulatory black goji berry extract is rich in goji berry polysaccharides, which are water-soluble polysaccharides composed of six monosaccharide components: arabinose, glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, and rhamnose. They have physiological activity and can enhance non-specific immune function, enhance disease resistance, inhibit tumor growth and cell mutations. Immune aging is closely related to cell apoptosis. Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) can significantly enhance the phagocytic function of phagocytes and enhance the proliferation ability of lymphocytes.
- Anti tumor goji berry polysaccharides are not only biological response regulators that regulate immune responses, but can also exert anti-cancer effects through the neuroendocrine immune regulatory network. Lycium barbarum polysaccharides can significantly increase the reserve of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen in mice, and improve the total activity of blood lactate dehydrogenase before and after exercise; Reduce the increase in blood urea nitrogen in mice after vigorous exercise and accelerate the clearance rate of blood urea nitrogen after exercise. This indicates that goji berry polysaccharides have a very significant effect on eliminating fatigue.
- Anti radiation damage black goji berry extract has anti Y radiation and protective effects on the body. It can be used as an adjuvant drug to cooperate with anti-tumor treatments such as radiotherapy, reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy, improve therapeutic efficacy, and protect the body’s immune function.
Black goji berry extract is rich in various nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, free amino acids, organic acids, minerals, trace elements, alkaloids, vitamin C, B1, B2, etc. It can indeed be called “soft gold”
