The Wolfberry comes from Northern China. In China, the Wolfberry has been declared a “National Treasure.” Many athletes who have been in the Olympics credit the Wolfberry “for quick recovery from injuries and sore muscles.” Many Chinese Herbalists prescribe the Wolfberry to their patients who have deficiencies of liver, kidney, diabetes and vision problems.
The Wolfberry contains over 21 essential mineral, 18 amino acids & substantial amounts of Chromium. (All data following is per 100 grams). There is high levels of Thiamin (B1)- 67 x of brown rice. Thiamin (27.0) is essential for proper energy production, carbohydrate metabolism & thyroid function.

Our bodies can’t manufacture minerals on their own and without minerals; our body cannot use and absorb vitamins. Minerals help with nerve conduction, muscle contraction, heart action, blood clotting, protein metabolism & bone & teeth formation. Every process of our body is dependent upon minerals. Some of the most important minerals the Wolfberries have are (all data per 100 grams); *Calcium (110) helps in building bones & reduces body fat. *Magnesium (130) lowers risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It also helps with depression & headaches. *Potassium (1600) is the single most important mineral to human health & longevity. It helps to normalize electrolyte & PH balance within the cells.
Protein (16%) can contribute to muscle loss in the body. Experts estimate that the average person after the age of 30 loses 6-7 lbs of muscle per decade. After the age of 45 it’s even faster. Arginine (0.93), which is an amino acid, reduces blood pressure, boosts immunity, and improves circulation to combat diabetes. The Wolfberry has one of the highest percentages of fiber ((21.0) than any other whole food. High intake of fiber lowers risk of cancer and heart disease and helps control blood sugar levels. Protein (15.6%) is the vital building block of white blood cells & antibodies. Chronic lack of protein shrinks the thymus gland and results with impaired immune response. Zinc, which is 5x more then Brussels sprouts is also critical for healthy immunity.
