Anti Aging-
Goji Berries contain many amino acids. Two important ones are L-Glutamine and L-Arginine.

According to ForeverLookingGood.com L-Glutamine is known as a brain food and has many other benifits. L-Glutamine is used by the immune system, plays a key role in protein metabolism, and helps prevent muscle deterioration during workouts.

L-Arginine is widely used in supplements associated with rejuvenation and anti-aging. It is also used in weight control and muscle retention supplements.

Together, these two may boost growth hormone levels, and help you look and feel younger.

Goji Berries also contain high levels of potassium. Potassium is vital for the normal function of the pituitary gland which produces the growth hormone.

Why do we want to support the Human Growth hormone?
As we get older, the amount of the human growth hormone in our bodies decreases which results in higher levels of stored body fat, lower levels of energy, and deterioration of muscle.

Sports Enthusiasts-
Many sports enthusiasts have found aspects of goji berries that that can be beneficial to their performance. Goji berries have four times the amount of potassium as bananas-the athlete’s favorite cramp killer. Many of us who would consider a testosterone booster for stamina and endurance might want to consider the goji berry as it can help the body naturally produce a higher level of testosterone. The goji berry also contains Vitamin B2 which is not found in many fruits. Vitamin B2 helps convert carbohydrates into fuel.
