Lycium fruit has been considered a major anti-aging herb for over 2500 hundred years. As an Essence herb, it nourishes and strengthens the lower body, helping to correct sexual deficiencies.

Lycium fruit contains polysaccharides which have been demonstrated to strongly fortify the immune system. Lycium is also very rich in vitamin C and B vitamins. Furthermore, it is the richest source of carotenoids, including beta carotene, of all known plants on earth and is thus a powerful antioxidant. It is believed to fortify the system against disease and to provide the energy to overcome difficult obstacles.

Lycium contains 18 kinds of amino acids, of which 8 are indispensable amino acids for the human body (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). 50% of Lycium's amino acids are free amino acid. Lycium contains numerous trace elements, of which the main ones are zinc, iron and copper.
