Over the years, many people have discovered that juicing some of their food offers a much higher absorption rate at the cellular level. Since most food has little nutrition due to depleted soils, this can make a significant difference in the nutritional health benefits…especially when the food items are juiced from their raw state vs. being in a cooked form.Goji berries are regarded by many nutritional experts as possibly the healthiest food source on the planet. Being in a juice form significantly increases the absorption rate. Much of the juice is metabolized through the capillaries in the roof of your mouth as well as sublingually and leading directly to our bloodstream. In a food form, the bile acids of the stomach destroy much of the nutrition before it ever enters the bloodstream. With so many health benefits in the goji berry, it only makes sense that we allow the maximum amount of the nutrition to reach and be absorbed by our cells.

Exercise can build you up, but it can also wear you down. Endurance exercise in particular can increase oxygen utilization from 10 to 20 times over the resting state, and this greatly increases the generation of highly reactive free radicals. Once formed, free radicals begin a chain reaction, attacking and damaging or destroying the cells of muscles, connective tissues, and joints.

To prevent free-radical damage, the body has a defense system of antioxidants. These special molecules interact with free radicals, terminating the chain reaction before healthy body cells are ireparably damaged. Many fruits contain antioxidants, and although they may show impressive antioxidant capacity in a laboratory beaker (also known as the ORAC test), they may perform poorly once inside the human body. In fact, many high-ORAC dietary antioxidants never leave the digestive tract.

The best antioxidant strategy is to optimize the body's production of its own highly active antioxidant enzymes. These circulate in the blood, offering protection for the whole body against the damage and fatigue that can be caused by unchecked free-radical activity.

The nutritional benefits of Goji juice are being corroborated and confirmed by research and clinical studies. Studies with elderly people and those suffering from general debility have shown that consuming Goji juice can lead to a three-time increase in the T-cell transformation functions and the white cell interleukin-2 count can double. This opens up the possibilities of extracting even greater benefits from this berry, particularly for fighting tiredness, improving the working of the immune system, preventing the growth of free radicals, etc.
