YES! There are quite a few places you can go for more information on the goji berry (lycium) we use in our juice.

To begin, check out:
http://www.pubmed.org
and look up the latin name for the berry (lycium)

Also, be sure to contact me for some sample FREE CHAPTERS from Dr. Mindell's latest book on the subject.

If you have further questions, feel free to contact us. We'd love to hear from you!

Are preservatives necessary in Himalayan Goji™ Juice and, if so, are they natural?

Yes. Freshness preservation is required to keep this chill-blended product from spoiling. We use less than one-tenth of 1% of naturally-derived sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in Himalayan Goji™ Juice. Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a natural constituent of many fruits and vegetables. Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a natural component of berries. Both ingredients are two of the safest preservatives that can be used in food products. They are so safe that they are even on the FDA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list. The only way to totally avoid preservatives would be to hot-fill the product in glass bottles. Hot filling would destroy our delicate active ingredients—the bioactive polysaccharides.

Is Himalayan Goji™ Juice only made with goji berries from the Himalayas?

Although they grow in the wild, goji berries are not cultivated in the Himalayas in sufficient quantity for large-scale distribution. The berries used in Himalayan Goji™ Juice are selected from the world's best-known growing regions. These include Inner Mongolia, as well as Ningxia and Xinjiang in the pristine Heavenly Mountains of western China. We use only those berries that conform to the precise Spectral Signature fingerprint and balanced polysaccharide profile of the original Lycium barbarum (goji) of the Himalayas.

Are the 4 polysaccharides unique to Himalayan Goji™ Juice?

The 4 polysaccharides are unique to goji, but can vary in quality depending on the ancestry of the plant and the growing conditions for a particular region in a particular year. FreeLife™ is the only company that has developed a Spectral Signature to ensure that you always receive the same high potency polysaccharides in exact balance when you drink Himalayan Goji™ Juice.

I'm looking for the best antioxidant power available. What would you recommend?

While Himalayan Goji™ Juice does have antioxidant power, its true power comes from another source: its unique Master Molecule Polysaccharides, which simply cannot be found in any other plant on earth. Dozens of published scientific studies have confirmed that these polysaccharides are the most important bioactive components, and are responsible for the incredible health benefits of the goji berry. The list of the benefits of these polysaccharides can be found in Dr. Earl Mindell and Rick Handel's book, Goji, The Himalayan Health Secret (contact me for sample free chapters), and we sincerely believe that they are nothing less than astounding.

So if you want optimal antioxidant power, take FreeLife's Basic Mindell Plus® (only available in the USA for now, sorry), the most comprehensive antioxidant supplement we have ever seen. If you want the benefits of the miraculous goji berry, drink Himalayan Goji™ Juice.

How much Himalayan Goji™ Juice should someone drink on a daily basis?

We recommend 1-3 ounces daily. There are no known side effects from drinking more than that (other than smiling too much!).

Is it okay for children to drink Himalayan Goji™ Juice?
Yes, Himalayan Goji™ Juice is great for the entire family.

How long does it take before an improvement is seen with Himalayan Goji™ Juice?
Everyone will receive benefits within different time periods depending upon their body's nutritional needs, however, most people will begin to see noticeable results within the first month.

How is Himalayan Goji™ Juice different from other "juices"?
There is never any added sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors or flavors in Himalayan Goji™ Juice, and goji is the only plant that has the 4 unique polysaccharides --- the Master Molecules --- that are so important to your body's defense systems. One liter of Himalayan Goji™ Juice contains the polysaccharides equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh goji berries. As an alternative, we suppose that one could simply eat dried goji berries. However, our research indicates that the quality of commercially-available dehydrated berries can vary tremendously, and there's also a high probability that the polysaccharides in dried berries may have oxidized and degraded. We will not offer dried goji berries until it can be scientifically proven that they can deliver a consistent health benefit.

Is Himalayan Goji™ Juice organic?
Although Himalayan Goji™ Juice is not certified organic, it is produced to the highest standards of ecological and environmental responsibility. While the remoteness of the goji growing regions has presented many challenges, we are working toward a cooperative program of organic certification for our indigenous Asian growers. Until then, you can be assured that, like all of our products, Himalayan Goji™ Juice is certified to be free of detectable pesticide and herbicide residues. Also, Himalayan Goji™ Juice contains no added sugar, artificial colors, sweeteners, or flavors.

I've been researching the goji berry lately and was wondering why FreeLife™ doesn't emphasize the vitamins and 18 amino acids that are in goji?
Himalayan Goji™ Juice is a high-tech functional food, specifically designed to preserve the content and balance of the goji berry's delicate and highly protective polysaccharides. It is standardized to a consistently high level of polysaccharides, in perfect balance. Dozens of published scientific studies have confirmed that these polysaccharides are the most important bioactive components, and are responsible for much of the benefit of the goji berry. That is why we have chosen to focus on this aspect of the goji, rather than emphasize the other powerful nutritional aspects of this remarkable plant.

How soon should Himalayan Goji™ Juice be consumed after it is opened?
It is recommended that you consume Himalayan Goji™ Juice within 30 days after opening and refrigerating the bottle.

After Himalayan Goji™ Juice is opened, how long can it stay out of refrigeration and still remain effective?
For best-keeping qualities, keep Himalayan Goji™ Juice refrigerated after opening. It should not be left out for any more than a couple of hours, the same steps you would take for any food or beverage that must be refrigerated after opening.
