After
rounding up goji samples from around the world, scientists used spectroscopic analysis—a molecular fingerprinting technique—to
single out the highest-quality, most nutrient-dense berries with the highest absorption in humans. This spectral signature
was then used to identify the ideal berry. It turns out that goji berries that originated from the Himalayan region consistently
possess the ideal spectral signature! But why?
The Himalayan mountain range has the highest peaks on the planet
and they are continuing to grow each year. According to Dr. Mindell, goji berries that originated from this area are special
for three reasons:
1) They contain the full spectrum of nutrients. These essential nutrients
are naturally chelated to fruit acids, which increases their ability to be absorbed into the body.
2)
Nowhere on earth is closer to the sun than the lofty Himalayas, and the higher a plant's ability to absorb the
sun's energy (also called the Schomberg effect), the higher its ability to facilitate the transfer of energy, thereby
keeping us healthier.
3) The goji of Himalayan origin contains astronomical levels of unique bioactive
polysaccharides, a family of complex carbohydrates bound to proteins that defends the body against illness, pollutants
and free radicals. These "master molecules" control many of the body's most important biochemical defense systems.
In fact, the goji of Himalayan descent may be the richest known source of glyconutrients.
Luckily, you don't
have to climb mountains to find berries with the same life-extending properties as the goji of legend. Berries that match
the spectral signature of gojis that originated in the Himalayas are available. Dr. Mindell suggests that you look for a readily
absorbable, all-natural 100 percent juice product that matches the excellent spectral signature, polysaccharide balance, and
high Schomberg effect of only the world's best berries. A one-liter bottle of a good high-quality goji juice should provide
the polysaccharide equivalent of more than two pounds of fresh goji berries.
