Recent years have seen the increasing popularity and consumption of goji berries in western countries such as US, Japan, Canada and Europe. I myself have bought a few from www.gojiking.co.uk, and like it very much. I have done some research on goji berries on Internet, and would like to write it down in my blog.
1) Extends life, protecting your body from premature aging through its powerful antioxidant action
2) Increases your energy and strength, especially when fighting disease
3) Makes you feel and look younger. Goji Berries stimulates the secretion of hGH (human growth hormone), the "youth hormone."
4) Maintains healthy blood pressure
5) Reduces cholesterol
6) Promotes normal blood sugar in early adult-onset diabetes
7) Enhances sexual function and treats sexual dysfunction
8) Helps you lose weight
9) Relieves headaches and dizziness
10) Relieves insomnia and improves quality of sleep
11) Supports eye health and improves your vision
12) Strengthens your heart
13) Improves disease resistance
14) Builds strong blood, enhancing production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
15) Supports healthy liver function
16) Treats menopausal symptoms
17) Prevents morning sickness in the first trimester of pregnancy
18) Improves fertility
19) Strengthens your muscles and bones
20) Improves your memory and recall ability
21) Supports normal kidney function
22) Helps chronic dry cough
23) Alleviates anxiety and stress

The last property explains why goji is called the 'happy berry'. In fact, it has been noted that the only known side effect of wolfberries is that continued consumption may make it impossible for you to stop smiling!
