The Bovis Energy Scale and Goji Berries
perhaps what is most impressive about this new miracle berry, is the high level of amino acids that it has, 18 in total including the 8 essential amino acids, making it one of the amino acid richest foods in the world. Essential amino acids are so named because the human body can not spontaneously produce this enzyme; therefore, it must be supplied by the diet. And since animals can not synthesize most of these enzymes, they must be supplied via a plant source. Although all of the amino acids are important three of the more important ones found in goji berries include isoleucine, tryptophan, leucine.
