Most other companies do not offer this.

The issue of what is Certified Organic / Wild Crafted Tibetan Goji Berry (Lycum Eleagnus Barbarum) seems to plague marketers of this delicious fruit. There are blatant misrepresentations of its origins by sales efforts wanting to cash in on the fruits pristine regional origins while distancing themselves from the polluted background of the Chinese variety called Wolfberry (Chinese Lycee or Lycium Barbarum), which most provider's source as Goji.

The Wild craft Tibetan variety has been harvested for thousands of years as a medicinal food by Tibetan doctors and eaten freely as a wild fruit. Many generations ago Goji seeds were taken to China , cultivated, and called Wolfberry. The Chinese Wolfberry is suspect if it does not possess organic certification because of the lack of regulation regarding pesticides, herbicides, and DDT over the years in Chinese farming practices. It is a botanical given that soils with a history of repeat planting often suffer from mineral depletion, which can affect the nutrient quality of the produce, even in somewhat, similar climatic conditions.

The Tibetan regions provide pristine conditions that have contributed to the amazing nutritional complex of the Goji Berry because of the natural soils, air, and multiplicity of plant life, resulting in natural growing conditions that make wild-crafted botanicals so nutritionally rich. The Certified Organic / Wild Crafted Tibetan Goji Berry from Extreme Health USA is a botanical rarity. The extremely high levels of antioxidants contained in these Goji Berries, along with many vitamins, minerals and immune-stimulating polysaccharides, make this brand of Goji Berries one of the worlds most desired and beneficial whole natural foods available.

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, Certified Organic / Wild Crafted Tibetan Goji Berry is original and highly superior to the Wolfberry.

Extreme Health USA's Certified Organic / Wild Crafted Tibetan Goji Berry is the most superior berry because of the numerous third party certified USDA registered laboratory reports confirming the antioxidant levels (ORAC units) and health promoting polysaccharides in these Goji Berry, as well as the nutritional density.  

There are over 40 varieties of Goji berry or wolfberry on the planet. It is important to know what you are getting.  

Why is ORAC important?

An ORAC unit (oxygen radical absorbance capacity scale) is defined as a measure of the ability of antioxidants to absorb oxygen “free radicals” in the body. The ORAC assay integrates the strength and duration of antioxidant protection for a product into a single numerical value, and has been shown to highly correlate with the level and the time of protection in cells, body tissues and blood levels. There is a near perfect correlation between the ORAC value and the antioxidant and immune system protection in the body.

So ORAC is important because it is an indication of a food's ability to provide the body and blood with immune enhancing factors (antioxidants) that combat oxidizing (rusting) of the bodies cells, membranes, and tissues; in a word – anti-aging potency.
