Goji Berries Can Protect Cells

Cell damage is closely related to aging and cancer. Cell protection effects from Goji Berries have been shown in many human studies in China.

In one study conducted by Ningxia Medical University, thirty healthy people between 60 and 80 years of age were given 50g of Goji Berry to chew every day. After 10 days, blood samples were drawn to measure the level of SCE (Sister Chromatid Exchange, a popular marker for genetic toxicity relating to aging and the cancer process. SCE levels are lower in young people than that in aging people) and lymph cell proliferation. The result demonstrated that after taking Goji Berries, the SCE declined and lymph cell proliferation improved.
