Benefits of Goji Berries:

One of the highest antioxidant ratings, far more vitamin C than oranges, many times more nutritional iron than spinach, more amino acids than bee pollen, more beta carotene than oranges, cancer-fighting selenium and germanium, a unique polysaccharide found in no other food source known for its potential ability to increase HGH (human growth hormone) production, and being a dramatic immune system booster as well. Whatever one does to protect their health, the goji berry in dried fruit or liquid form should be considered a requisite.

Goji berries also help lose weight although not as dramatically, but they have many other benefits.
