Detailed description
Used for centuries in Chinese tradition, Goji is now classified as a superfruit due to its exceptional nutritional density. Its benefits are largely attributed to its specific polysaccharides (Lycium barbarum polysaccharides – LBP), which support innate and adaptive immunity.
Goji also contains flavonoids (quercetin, rutin), carotenoids – including a remarkable concentration of zeaxanthin – and vitamin C, which plays a key role in neutralizing free radicals and protecting against cell aging.
In vitro studies have demonstrated its immunomodulating and neuroprotective properties.
At the same time, its high fiber and micronutrient content helps support intestinal microbiota and metabolic balance.
In short, Goji is a versatile ingredient, perfectly suited to dietary supplements targeting tonus, antioxidant protection, vision and immune support.
