How many pounds of goji
berries are in a bottle of
your Goji Juice, and why are
fresh berries better than
dried berries?
One litre of our Goji
Juice contains the
polysaccharides equivalent
of 2.2 pounds of fresh goji
berries. As an alternative,
we suppose that one could
simply eat dried goji
berries. However, our
research indicates that the
quality of
commercially-available
dehydrated berries can vary
tremendously, and there's
also a high probability that
the polysaccharides in dried
berries may have oxidized
and degraded. Ingesting
dried goji berries are not
recommended until it can be
scientifically proven that
they can deliver a
consistent benefit.
Is your Goji Juice
organic?
Although produced to high
standards of ecological and
environmental
responsibility, our Goji
Juice is not organic. We are
working toward a cooperative
program of organic
certification for our
network of growers, but the
process is slow. Until then,
our Goji Juice is certified
to be free of pesticide
residues. Also, our Goji
Juice contains no added
sugar, artificial colours,
sweeteners, or flavours.
Why not emphasize the
vitamins and 18 amino acids
that are in goji?
Our Goji Juice is a
high-tech functional food,
specifically designed to
preserve the content and
balance of the goji berry's
delicate and highly
protective polysaccharides.
It is standardized to a
consistently high level of
polysaccharides, in perfect
balance. Dozens of published
scientific studies have
confirmed that these
polysaccharides are the most
important bioactive
components, and are
responsible for much of the
benefit of the goji berry.
That is why we have chosen
to focus on this aspect of
the goji, rather than
emphasize the other
nutritional aspects of this
remarkable plant.
Are there preservatives
in your Goji Juice?
Yes. Freshness
preservation is required to
keep this chill-blended
product from spoiling. We
use less than one-tenth of
1% of naturally-derived
sodium benzoate and
potassium sorbate in
Himalayan Goji Juice.
Potassium Sorbate is the
potassium salt of sorbic
acid. Sorbic acid is a
natural constituent of many
fruits and vegetables.
Sodium benzoate is the
sodium salt of benzoic
acid. Benzoic acid is a
natural component of
berries. Both ingredients
are safe; they are even on
the FDA GRAS (Generally
Recognized as Safe) list.
The only way to avoid
preservatives would be to
hot-fill the product in
glass bottles. Hot filling
would destroy our delicate
active ingredients-the
bioactive polysaccharides.
Why are other fruit
juices added to your Goji
Juice?
Our proprietary recipe
incorporates a small amount
of other fruit juices to
ensure uniformity, and to
help bring out the best
flavour from the goji berry.
How soon should your Goji
Juice be consumed after it
is opened?
It is recommended that
you consume the Goji Juice
within 30 days after opening
and refrigerating the
bottle.
After the Goji Juice is
opened, how long can it stay
out of refrigeration and
still remain effective?
For best-keeping
qualities, keep the Goji
Juice refrigerated after
opening. It should not be
left out for any more than a
couple of hours, the same
steps you would take for any
food or beverage that must
be refrigerated after
opened.
Is it okay for
children to drink Himalayan
Goji™ Juice?
Yes,
Himalayan Goji™ Juice
is great for the entire
family.
Is Himalayan Goji™
Juice only made with goji
berries from the Himalayas ?
Although
they grow in the wild,
goji
berries are not cultivated
in the Himalayas in
sufficient quantity for
large-scale distribution.
The berries used in
Himalayan Goji™ Juice
are selected from the
world's best-known growing
regions. These include Inner
Mongolia, as well as Ningxia
and Xinjiang in the pristine
Heavenly Mountains of
western China . We use only
those berries that conform
to the precise Spectral
Signature fingerprint and
balanced polysaccharide
profile of the original
Lycium barbarum (goji)
of the Himalayas .
Will FreeLifeŽ have
difficulty sourcing goji
berries?
We have
several sources of supply
for goji berries
and we have no concerns
about difficulty in sourcing
them.
Are the 4
polysaccharides unique to
Himalayan Goji™ Juice?
The 4
polysaccharides are unique
to goji, but can vary in
quality depending on the
ancestry of the plant and
the growing conditions for a
particular region in a
particular year. FreeLife is
the only company that has
developed a Spectral
Signature to ensure that you
always receive the same high
potency polysaccharides in
exact balance when you drink
Himalayan Goji™
Juice.
What's all the fuss
about ORAC?
ORAC (Oxygen
Radical Absorbance Capacity)
is a non-official,
non-governmental, private
for-pay service that puts a
product through a simple
test that results in a
number that represents what
they call "total antioxidant
power." There are many
different classes of
antioxidants, however, and
they each work differently.
To a scientist, the ORAC
number means little because
it does not give specific
information about what kinds
of antioxidants are present.
Because the test is so
limited in what it measures,
we have never done an ORAC
test on Himalayan
Goji™ Juice.
How much Himalayan
Goji™ Juice should someone
drink on a daily basis?
FreeLife
recommends 1-3 ounces daily.
How does FreeLifeŽ
ensure the quality of
Himalayan Goji Juice?
FreeLife has
a Seven-Step Quality
Manufacturing Program to
ensure that you receive the
same consistent,
standardized quality in
every liter of
Himalayan Goji™ Juice.
Our Spectral Signature is
your assurance of potency,
purity, and authenticity in
every bottle.
How do I measure an
ounce of Himalayan Goji™
Juice?
An ounce of
Himalayan Goji Juice
is about 2 tablespoons.
How do I become a
marketing representative for
FreeLife so that I can
market Himalayan Goji Juice
myself?
Becoming a marketing
representative is easy and
is just a matter of
