FreeLife International GoChi

Made from Himalayan goji berries, GoChi juice contains one of a kind polysaccharides, which are believed to support the immune system and cardiovascular health and boost energy. Unique to goji berries, the Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) in GoChi are believed to work with the body to activate its own antioxidant enzymes, which can then circulate freely to help protect every cell in the body. According to the FreeLife website, in research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, the LBP found in a four-ounce daily dose of GoChi improved 13 key aspects of health and well-being, including energy, sleep quality, stress and the immune system. A four-ounce serving provides 64 calories and is preservative-free and certified kosher and halal.
