Goji polysaccharides enhance enduranceSugar chains in goji berries – scientific name Lycium barbarum – protect cells against the effects of extreme exertion and can boost endurance capacity by fifty percent. This discovery was made by researchers at the department of Physical Education and Military Training at the Zhejiang University of Technology, China.Goji extracts have been recognised as 'botanical medicine' in China since 1983. In traditional Chinese medicine goji is a substance that balances 'yin' and 'yang'. Western studies suggest that goji may protect against cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and that it may improve the condition of healthy people. In 2000 Chinese researchers published the results of a study which indicate that sugar chains, or polysaccharides, in goji berries cause the latter effect. [Wei Sheng Yan Jiu. 2000 Mar 30; 29(2): 115-7.]An animal study published a few months ago in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences builds on the previously mentioned publication. The researchers gave male rats either nothing or increasing doses of goji-polysaccharides [LBP] for 28 days.On day 21 the rats started a training period in which they had to run on a treadmill for 15-20 minutes on a number of occasions. On day 28 the rats had to run to the point of exhaustion. The researchers put the animals on a treadmill, where they had to run at a speed that caused them to use about 75 percent of their VO2max. supplementation with goji-polysaccharides extended the amount of time the rats were able to run.After the exertion test the concentration of malondialdehyde [MDA] had risen by less in the goji groups than in the control group. Malondialdehyde is produced when free radicals released during processes of combustion damage the cell membranes. Malondialdehyde is an aggressive and toxic compound. It looks as though goji-saccharides boost the activity of antioxidant enzymes like super-oxide-dismutase [SOD] and glutathione peroxidase [GPX]. These hold in check the increase in aggressive molecules as a result of exertion.

I add the powder to smoothies, and overall it is a good addition, but a little bitter if you use too much. My main issue is with the packaging -- once I opened it I now cannot close it. The zip lock closure just won't bind together. I notice it is pretty fine(small scale). Something more robust would be better. Overall, good though.

I used 1/2 tsp in my yogurt and it tasted great. The package says 1/3 tsp 2 x a day. I also used in it in my coffee. Would buy again. I bought the 3 oz to try and well satisfied. 100 servings per container.

They were well packaged and fresh. We thought we would like to eat them like raisins. After we put some in Cottage Cheese, well, we use them on just about everything now. They are good for you, but they are just flat out good!

Wolfberry (also called Goji) is a fruit from China and East Asia. This is a great product and less expensive purchasing it in bulk. Wolfberry has a lot of health benefits. Personally, I do not like to eat goji berries by themselves. I'll put them in a salad or in a recipe, but have a hard time doing this on a daily or even weekly basis. However, I really wanted the health benefit of fruit in my diet. I was excited to find this product through Bulk Supplements. This powder can be added to smoothies which helps get it into my diet consistently. I really like the Bulk Supplements product line and have used many of their products. I highly recommend!

Been using in smoothies it blends well packaging was hard to use to close it up .

Wolfberry Extract/Goji Berry is Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Powers. Antioxidants are important in the fight against cancer, and goji berries are loaded with antioxidants. Gojis also contains an anti-inflammatory agent called beta-sitosterol I suffer from muscle pain and I read the reviews and purchased my first 8.82 bag on 11/15/18 and the reviewers are spot on with the info. It a supplement I am going to be a lifetime consumer of. I am not pain-free but my inflammation is much more intense when I don't use the Wolfberry Extract. Thank Bulk Supplements for your excellent products.

Used this stuff years ago when I had a mild brain aneurysm. I've given it to friends who serious migraines from brain damage. They were going to the ER every month for the pain. This fixed it. Developed severe carpal tunnel a couple weeks ago in both arms. Stretching did nothing. One heaping teaspoon of this powder and the carpal tunnel was gone overnight. Haven't had any symptoms for days. Stuff like this is what will end up putting big pharma out of business and make the communist platform of healthcare for all obselete.
