Answer 2

Sorry to tell you that it is another scam. Try searching on Google for "goji" and you will come up with testimonial after testimonial but no scientific backing at all. It's a MLM (multi-level marketing) pyramid type scam.
Also see Henriette's Herbal Blog " The Goji Scam" www.henriettesherbal.com/blog. "Both Lycium eleagnus pungens and Lycium eleagnus barbarum are manufactured names; there is no such thing, botanically. The berry sold under those names is your normal Lycium barbarum or wolfberry. There is no such thing as wild Tibetan goji berries. These, too, are normal Lycium barbarum berries. Ditto for Himalayan goji. The so-called Tibetan-grown goji berries are a) normal lycium berries (Lycium barbarum), and b) Mongolian-grown, like the rest of the Lycium berries on the market. Lycium is in the Solanaceae (nightshade family). Elaeagnus is in the Elaeagnaceae (oleaster family). They are not related, nor have they been each other's synonyms. You can buy lycium berries (Lycium barbarum) in bulk herb stores at $7-$10 a pound. Good quality lycium berries are the same stuff that is sold as goji for a far higher price." Also in Henriette's Herbal Blog see response from a professional acupuncturist and herbalist, with a MS in Oriental Medicine. 'Goji berries' do not exist as far as I know. It is all Lycium / Wolfberries / Gou Qi Zi. Taste the 'juice.' it is grape and pear with a hint of Gou Qi Zi.

RESPONSE: A spokeperson for Goji - Earl Mindell, R.Ph., M.H., PhD. in his book, "Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret" says berries contain cyperone, solavetivone , physalin, beta-sitosterol. (First two are NOT found in the berries) .He claims that Beta-sitosterols (found in virtually every plant) lowers cholesterol, that it's an "anti-inflammatory agent", and is used in treating prostate enlargement and sexual impotence. He doesn't say the quantity needed to obtain those effects. No references cited to back up any of those claims and how much the berries contain and effective dosages. And the same can be said for other Dr's who make claims of Goji juice. Where are the references, studies to back them up?
Known negative side effects of drinking goji juice - not to take it if you are on blood pressure medication. There are people who have been sickened by drinking. See on
site www.henriettesherbal.com/blog and to see more concerning unsubstantiated beneficial assertians of gojis benefits made by DR's
Substantiated: Berries grown in China are produced using pesticides, 9 shipments from China were refused by the FDA in the last 3 years because of unacceptable levels of pesticides (e.g., cypermethrin, dicofol, pyridaben, and triadimenol).
