Absolutely yes. I market this product only because it proved to be even better than they say. I can tell you anything you want to know about Goji juice as it has changed my life.
There is absolutely no added sugar and the sugar in it is made up of 4 natural polysaccharides, so there is no risk at all. My friend is diabetic and it was highly recommended by his Cardiologist as well as his Endocrinologist. It has levelled his blood sugars off, as well as lowered his cholesterol and blood pressure. He is still on his medications, but they were unable to do what the Goji has done, and they are now lowering his dosage of meds.
Note to ixlinxs:
You are talking about the wolfberry which is entirely different from the Himilayan Goji Berry. Your facts are all wrong on this. There are over 41 different types of Goji berries just like there are many different types of grapes, etc.
I market Himilayan Goji Juice. You cannot argue with that. The berries are now grown in China but have the exact same DNA as the original ones in Tibet. We use nothing but those particular berries. Sorry, but strawberries and other fruits, cannot touch Himilayan Goji. You definately need to do more homework before you make false statements like that.

It is very over rated. I have just attended a Natural Medicine Festival and there were 5 Goji/Wolfberry merchants peddling their wares there.
There are a lot of untruths re where it is commercially harvested.
Ningxia Province is the main area where it is grown commercially and certainly not the Himalayas or Tibet as a few distributors have suggested. Sounds more exotic though doesn't it and sells a few more bottles on an unsuspecting public
Goji or wolfberry is no magic bullet.
It is a strong antioxidant but the price per ORAC unit is high.
Much better to get a punnet of strawberries from your supermarket or some blueberries. They taste better too.
I have investigated the stuff and honestly it is not worth the price especially in the juice ( which is not 100% pure) form.
If you want ot take it ,the dried berry form is probably the best way if you cant get to China and pick them yourself
Some of the unscrupulous Goji companies suggest the people in Ningxia province live long lives solely due to this berry. The truth is that not all Ningxians eat the berries and also there is a host of other factors which account for their healthy long life as with the Hunza and the Okanawans.

I have no personal experience with Goji juice. I have talked to one of the people who disturbute it in the US. It was back when I was a customer service rep for a wireless company. She told me of many websites to go to about it. www.gojibook.com is one she gave me that I can remember. I know that site has a lot of info on the subject. Good luck.

The only thing I know is from searcing the web. and accordingly it is a powerful antiaging juice for longevity, made from Goji Berry of the Himalayas. It has a greenish look and has been used by the Chinese as far back as 2737 BC.

It's okay but be careful with those new businesses that sell them like Avon porducts. Also don't drink if you have unstable blood sugar or are diabetic. They tend to have too much sugar per serving.
