Goji Berries are an incredible superfood that are greatly in demand, however as a result Wolfberries from polluted areas in China are sometimes sold as Goji Berries. Wild-crafted Tibetan Goji Berry (Lycum Eleagnus Barbarum) are distinctly different from Chinese Wolfberries((Chinese Lycee or Lycium Barbarum) These two berries are two distinct berries with significant differences in a nutritional value.

Goji Berries have been harvested in Tibet for thousands of years and it is revered there as a potent medicinal food. It grows wild in Tibet and is a very popular fruit with many Tibetans lauding its benefits. Wolfberries are harvested in China. Unfortunately, China does not offer organic certification and questionable regulation regarding pesticides, herbicides, and DDT with regards to farming and cultivation. Chinese agricultural land is often compromised by over farming which leads to soil depletion and diminishes the nutrient quality of the produce and this holds true for Wolfberries.

Tibet is one of the most beautiful countries in the world with clean air and rich soils. Tibet's pristine environment is the optimal environment for growing the most nutritious and clean goji berries in the world. Goji berries' nutritional profile is rich in vitamins, minerals and immune enhancing polysaccharides. To ensure that the Goji Berries provide you with maximum nutritional benefits and are not compromised by environmental pollution choosing Goji Berries from Tibet is your best option.

To call a product Goji when in fact it is a Chinese grown fruit could be construed as a truth in advertising claim violation even though the claim fails to have legal implications. Our resources indicate there is some definable amino acid and trace mineral difference between Goji Berry and Wolfberry. The Goji is more nutritionally dense; it is the gold standard. Thus, wild-crafted Tibetan Goji Berry is original and highly superior to the Wolfberry.

The nutritional density, amount of polysaccharides, and antioxidant levels(ORAC units) in Tibetan Goji Berries are all higher than in Chinese Wolfberries. The amounts of those attributes of Tibetan Goji Berries have been all confirmed by certified USDA registered laboratory reports.
