Goji Berry Powder – The King of Antioxidants, known as the ‘Happy Berry’ for How it Makes You Feel*
Freeze Dried Concentrate to Preserve Maximum Nutrition and Taste!
Goji berries have earned the reputation of being the “gateway herb” in that they’re an easy place to start for beginners yet they still pack a solid herbal punch, loaded with tons of nutrition.
For that reason some consider them the #1 herb in Chinese Medicine.
In the past five to ten years these have gone from virtually unknown to even being inside regular gas stations! They’re known as the “Happy Berry” for how they can make you feel, studies have even shown improvements in feelings of well-being.4
Antioxidant Powerhouse
The ORAC value (oxygen radical absorption capability, a process used to determine antioxidant levels) of goji berries is commonly stated to be over 25000. Contrast this to blueberries, often touted for their antioxidant levels, at around 7000.
Further organic goji berry powder assists the body in increasing supply of their internal antioxidants like glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD).1,2*
Amazing Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBPs)
Most of the studied effects of goji berries come from Lycium barbarum polysaccharide or LBP, of which there are a few different varieties.
LBP’s have been researched in their functions to support:
-
- Anti-aging2*
- Healthy Blood Sugar Levels2,3*
- Healthy Liver Function2*
- Healthy Eye Function2*
- Healthy Metabolic Function2,5*
- Healthy Immune System Function2,6*
- Neuroprotection2*
- Healthy Reproductive System Function2*
It should be noted that most of the human studies done have been with GoChi, a goji juice blend, that is sold through multi-level marketing and is standardized for LBP levels (though they don’t say what those levels are).
The cellular mechanisms by which LBP is shown to have this wide range of functions is explored in depth in An evidence-based update on the pharmacological activities and possible molecular targets of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides.

Organically Grown in China, Freeze Dried to Perfection
Previously, we sold a goji juice powder. This was good…but we’re always on the lookout for something better. One day we stumbled across a freeze-dried concentrate of goji and were blown away by the flavor. So much better!
You’ll notice the deep color and a strong goji flavor when you try it.
The Goji Berries are harvested at peak ripeness from secluded farms in China and freeze-dried then ground down into a powder. The freeze-drying process locks in the most nutrition possible.
In addition, this is done without any fillers such as maltodextrin at all.
Dosage
Goji berries are more of a food than a herbal antioxidant supplement so the dosage can vary wildly. Our recommended dose, to get beneficial effects, is one to two tablespoons per day. That being said feel free to take more or less.
Our goji berry powder can be combined with water, tea, smoothies, and even baked goods.
Each 250-gram bag contains approximately 26 tablespoon doses, so at the recommended dose it will last for almost about two weeks to a month.
NOTE: This is organic goji berry concentrate and not whole goji berries.
Contraindications
Goji berries are very safe with no known side effects or contraindications and are often used daily for long periods of time by many. However, they are in the nightshade family so some people may be sensitive to them.
As goji berries assist the body in varying capacities they may cause changes in drugs so ask your doctor if you’re currently taking blood pressure or diabetes drugs.

Lost Empire Herbs

Awesome taste!
Mark Chiaravalle (verified owner) –
I love this product and usually include it with any of the other products that I use in powder form from Lost Empire to make them taste better. I also love that Lost Empire has their products tested on the regular and show the test results for each of their products. Makes me feel more comfortable buying from Lost Empire knowing I am not getting watered down garbage with lots of unwanted harsh chemicals or metals in my product.

too expensive
Eddie –
Ive heard a few times this increases testicle size. True?
Zane Christopher –
Interesting. Never heard that one. Couldn’t find any studies on that but since it has been found to increase, “serum testosterone level, increased the expression of endothelial NO synthase, neuronal NO synthase, and cGMP, improved the oxidative stress marker, and decreased corporal fibrosis,” then it might have a small effect on the size of testicles. Study link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5419117/
I’ve certainly never noticed that effect but it could be cause I never paid attention. Let us know what you find if you do consume the goji.
Zabi –
Hi dear
Which ratio is ur Goji berry package,and can I add with Pine pollen and Mucuna seeds powder? Thanks
Zane Christopher –
Our goji berry is not an extract. It is a whole fruit powder. You can certainly add it with pine pollen and mucuna seed powder. Combining them is an excellent idea.

Since everything else I buy from you guys tastes simply dreadful (like Tongkat Ali and Phoenix Formula) this was really quite a surprise. It seems to me that it tastes a good deal like sweet potato! It’s pleasant, but I wouldn’t put it in my coffee! It seems to act for me as a mood enhancer/stabilizer and makes me just feel sort of good all around. Irksome customers at my store no longer drive me to want to strangle them, and that’s the most noticeable thing about this herb. Keeps me feeling peaceful and therefore cheerful. People around me notice the change, which really surprised me big time!

I take dry Goji everyday, its a great fruit. I boil soup with it, place some on fish before steaming, or on any other cooked foods. Your powder Goji is very convenience to use, as I just scoop a spoon into my soup, stirred well and it tasted better then the soup boiled with dry Goji. I was not fast enough to finish the package and by then about a quarter turn solid from powder and that make it difficult to dissolve in soup. That was the only problem.
Zane Christopher –
Interesting manthong, I asked if we had any other comments on the Goji doing this and Allyssa, our office manager has said she has never heard of it doing that or anyone bringing it. Maybe try storing it in a glass mason jar next time and see if that helps? We will look more into it. Thank you for the review! I will have to try it on fish since I’ve been eating a lot more, interesting idea.
