Introduction to Wolfberries

What are wolfberries? Originally from Tibet, wolfberries are red fruits that resemble prolonged wild cherries.  Their main difference is that wolfberries, unlike cherries, have been recognised as the most nutritive fruit of the planet!

This small fruit was titled as “SUPERFRUIT” by “TIMES” magazine, one of the most popular magazines within the United-States of America, and read by more than 34 millions of people each month.

Wolfberries, especially the Lycium Barbarum specie, are officially the fruit containing the greatest amount of antioxidants.

    For thousands of years, Tibetans have used this fruit for traditional medicine. One must note that Tibetans have one of the highest life expectancy, and that those who live to be over a hundred are much more frequent then in other countries. Tibetans are renowned to live healthy lives, without liver problems, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, or even cancer! According to modern scientific studies, the good health Asians seem to all possess can be linked to one thing, wolfberries. This extraordinary fruit grows in abundance in Asia, even within their cities. If you don’t believe that a single fruit may be powerful, here are a few things that the Lycium Barbarum wolfberry contains:

400 times more vitamin C then oranges (gives energy)
13% more proteins then whole wheat (Regulates weight and strengthens muscles)
