The goji is actually considered both a fruit and a herb and is generally found in Asian and European countries. Celebrities such as Miranda Kerr and Madonna are touting its praises, so it must be amazing! Now we don’t add these little guys to any of our juices, however they are added to our delicious chocolate macaroons (see picture). So lets find out what all the fuss is about!

When it comes to your skin, the Goji berry cant be beat. Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, they contain everything you’ll ever need for healthy, glowing skin. Vitamin C is a biggy – we know this vitamin is imperative for skin protenctiom, healing and replenishing. There is also calcium, iron, potassium, selenium and zinc — this is the combo that will fight free radicals that cause cell damage. They will also boost elastin and collagen production, leaving you with smooth, firm skin. The goji also contains these enzymes called cartenoids. Cartenoids are what give your skin a natural glow! Hello amazing skin!

Goji berries are also great for the immune system, have amazing anti-ageing properties as well as containing essential fatty acids, minerals and enzymes. Traditionally, these berries have been used in the treatment of kidney problems, liver problems, to lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, cleanse the blood, eye problems, skin rashes, psoriasis, depression, allergies, insomnia, chronic liver disease, diabetes and tuberculosis.
