The Herb Of Longevity
Deep in the remote highlands of China, Mongolia and Tibet grows a little red berry called goji. The dried fruit is neither as tart as the cranberry nor as sweet as the raisin, but possesses a delightful flavor all her own. A hardy plant that can survive for hundreds of years—even in the harshest of climates—she was believed to transfer her gift of longevity to all those who consumed her tasty berry.
And consume they did. In ancient times, the goji berry was used to make soup, stew, tea and wine, or just chewed as a snack. Later, she found her place in traditional Chinese medicine, where she’s been used for 2,000 years to promote health, wellness and longevity. Women of Chinese nobility tapped into the powers of the goji too, eating the berries to look younger and be more beautiful.
Now, through the efforts of fearless fruit explorers, the secrets of the delicate goji are being offered to the West.
Introducing Goji Zen, an optimized whole fruit blend of purees and juices from Pure Fruit Technologies featuring the treasured goji berry. Drink just an ounce a day for better health.
Goji to the Rescue
Scientific research has borne out the goji berry’s reputation as "the herb of longevity". Studies in test tubes, animals and real human beings have shown it has a high capacity for absorbing super-oxide free radicals. That means it fights the natural effects of aging.*
The goji berry’s "live long" reputation may also stem from its ability to support the liver and kidneys. According to traditional Chinese Medicine, these two organs are to blame for many age-related problems.
And finally, drinking the juice of the little red berry just makes people feel good. In the language of Chinese medicine, goji nourishes the “chi” (or vital energy) and brightens the “shen” (or spirit).
Goji Zen is made from the whole fruit of the goji and artfully blended with a symphony of other healthful juices. May you live long and prosper, with Goji Zen.

The most potent bioactive constituents in this fruit blend, polysaccharides are powerful antioxidants that give the goji her free radical scavenging and immune-enhancing kick.

Vitamins & minerals

A Toast to Your Good Health
To optimize the flavor and nutritional punch of Goji Zen, we combined the delicious goji berry with rosehips and seabuckthorn berries — two other traditional medicinal foods — and blended them with juices of apple, pear, grape, cranberry and aronia. And to add a little extra antioxidant zing, we included some grape seed extract too.
