The Authentic Tibetan Goji Berry (Lycium Barbarum), grown in the Himalayan Mountains of Tibet, has been used for thousands of years by the Tibetan people and in Tibetan Medicine, which is considered by many to have had a major influence on the development of modern Western medicine.

The Tibetan Goji Berry was taken to other provinces of Western and Northern China, but none of those places has the unique and harsh conditions experienced by the authentic Tibetan Berries, which grow at altitudes in excess of 4000 meters in the Himalaya Mountains. None of the berries grown outside of Tibet consistently display the characteristics that make the Tibetan Goji Berries so unique and special and many contain chemicals and other pollutants that are common in these areas.

Until now, the Authentic Tibetan Goji Berry has not been available outside of Tibet and China as the Tibetan Autonomous region remained largely inaccessible for trade with the western world. Now that has all changed, thanks to a small group of Australian businessmen who have spent two years working with the Chinese and Tibetan Governments to bring the products of Tibet to the western world through their Australian owned company Tibet Authentic.


What Makes the Tibetan Goji Berry So Special?

The Tibetan Himalayas experience some of the most harsh and extreme climatic conditions on earth. January temperatures fall below -40C and summer days often rise to 30C. The thin atmosphere at over 4000 meters (one third less oxygen than at sea level) and long sunny days, result in a very high level of solar energy. To survive and thrive in these harsh conditions, the Goji Berry has developed some unique characteristics and properties.

The soil of the Himalayas is also rich in minerals, and the Tibetan Goji contains 21 trace minerals, including manganese, zinc, iron, copper, nickel, chromium, magnesium, calcium, kalium, cobalt, selenium, cadmium, phosphorus and germanium.

The Tibetan Goji Berry is also rich in antioxidants that can protect skin and cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. It contains 18 amino acids, fatty acids, more Beta Carotene than carrots, and 500 times more Vitamin C by weight than oranges! It also contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E.

The Tibetan Goji contains numerous polysaccharides, including several not previously identified, which were named Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP’s). These LBP’s represent a key element in the benefits attributed to Goji berries.

Finally, the Tibetan Goji Berry is wildly grown and dried naturally in the sun at altitudes above 4000 meters.
