Anti-aging
Goji berry contains a variety of trace elements, the main nutrient of the resistance to aging in goji berry is the goji berry polysaccharide (LBP). According to the modern theory of aging, The main cause of the deterioration of the body’s immune function during the aging process is the thymus atrophying with age. The thymus is the major part of aging. LBP on major role in the T cells in the thymus, and LBP can promote the increase in the number of mature cells. It also causes the increase of peripheral metastasis of thymus cells and can reverse the aging thymus degeneration. LBP can also enhance hematopoietic function of bone marrow.
Anticancer effect
LBP is also an effective component of anticancer and regulating immunity. After many years of clinical observation, California AIDS prevention and control center proved that the immune function of the goji berry polysaccharide can ravil the current international drug for the treatment of AIDS. At the same time, as a kind of biological response modifier, it has obvious anticancer effect. It enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunity by enhancing the body’s immune system. LBP can increase host tolerance to chemotherapy and play a role in adjuvant treatment of cancer.
Western scientists found that the trace elements Germanium contained in the goji berry is 124ppm, is 28 times the rice, is 3 times the Korea ginseng. Germanium is a kind of anticancer element. The clinical application, Ge not only on liver cancer, lung cancer and genital cancer have better therapeutic effect, but also has a supplementary role for cirrhosis, asthma, prostatitis, gastric ulcer, myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and schizophrenia. According to biomedical analysis, the human body has a kind of interferon, can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and make it die. Germanium into the human body, can induce the production of interferon in vivo, thus increasing the effect of interferon on cancer cell inhibition and clearance.
