Goji berries are small juicy red fruits, are native to the Tibetan Himalayas and North China and are born from two plants: Lycium barbarum L. and Lycium chinense, both belonging to the Solanaceae family.

In Chinese they are called "gou qi" or "kei tze".

They have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for about 2000 years. It is mentioned in the oldest Chinese book on herbs, the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, which attributes therapeutic properties to these berries for their properties of keeping the body in shape and prolonging life and in particular, to combat the lack of "yin" of the liver and kidneys.

In English they are called "Wolfberry".

The plant, Lycium barbarum, withstands frost well and bears abundant fruit.

The most recent scientific literature has focused on the root of Lycium barbarum, which contains polysaccharides that can effectively combat certain diseases such as hyperlipidemia and diabetes (2).

This study found a relative correlation between the polyphenol content of a Goji extract and the antioxidant and antineoplastic activity against breast cancer (2).

A 12-month treatment with Goji has shown neuroprotective effect on the retina and may help to delay or minimize cone degeneration in Retinitis pigmentosa (3).
