What are Bio-Active Polysaccharides? |
|
| |
Bioactive
polysaccharides, also called proteoglycans, are a family of complex
carbohydrates that are bound to proteins. Some plants produce them as an
extremely effective defence mechanism against attack by viruses, bacteria,
fungi, soil-borne parasites, cell mutations, toxic pollutants and
environmental free radicals.
There are four unique polysaccharides found in Goji, and each one has a
different effect on the immune system, cell growth and other body functions.
That is why Goji has such far reaching benefits. It is like the
Commander-In-Chief of the defence resources your body marshals to prevent,
combat and defeat every type of disease.

Alkalinity - a key to overall
health |
|
| |
Due to our busy
lifestyles we are often stressed and do not eat well. Generally our blood is
acidic, which is characterised by feeling anxious, tired irritable and
unwell. In an acidic body, disease and free radical prosper, cells mutate
and your body's cells group together to protect themselves.
In an alkaline body, free radicals and diseases are neutralised more
efficiently and find it very hard to survive. Many researchers and doctors
around the world are confirming that drinking Goji juice is one of the
fastest ways to balance the ph leveles and alkalise our body. Alkalinity is
known as a key to overall health.

Goji Facts - Modern science
confirms Ancient Wisdom |
|
| |
- Contains 19 amino acids -
the building blocks of protein including all 8 that are essential for
life.
- Contains 21 trace minerals
including germanium, an anti cancer trace mineral rarely found in foods.
- Contains 4 polysaccharides
that are unique to this plant. These unique polysaccharides are necessary
for proper immune function and intercellular communication, working in the
body by serving as directors and carriers of the instructions that cells
use to communicate with each other.
- Contains more protein than
whole wheat! (13%)
- Contains a complete
spectrum of antioxidant carotenoids, including beta-carotene (a better
source than carrots) and zeaxanthin (protects the eyes). Goji berries are
the richest source of carotenoids of all foods.
- Contains Vitamin C at
levels 500 times higher than oranges.
- Contains B-complex
vitamins, (B1, B2 & B6) necessary for converting food into energy.
- Contains Vitamin E (very
rarely found in fruits, only grains and seeds).
- Contains beta Sitosterol
and an anti-inflammatory agent. Beta Sitosterol also lowers cholesterol
and has been used to treat sexual impotence and prostrate enlargement.
- Contains essential fatty
acids, which are required for the body's production of hormones and for
the smooth functioning of the brain and nervous system.
- Contains Cyperone, a
sesquiterpene that benefits the heart and blood pressure and alleviates
menstrual discomfort.
- Contains Solavetivone, a
powerful anti-fungal and anti bacterial compound.
- Contains Physalin, a
natural compound that is active against all major types of leukaemia and
treatment of hepatitis B.

ORAC
units (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity Scale) is a measure of the ability
of antioxidants to absorb oxygen "free radicals"; 3000 units is considered
an industry standard for health. Goji Juice is an amazing 25,300 units.
That's approx 7200 ORAC Units per 30ml shot! |
