The Wolfberry Superfruit
Ningxia Wolfberry Comes to The Modern World
Ancient Legend
The many Wonders & Benefits of Ningxia Red are extraordinary- lasting for over 5,000 years. Frequent references to wolfberries in early Chinese medical texts extolled wolfberries for strengthening the eyes, liver, and kidneys, as well as fortifying the 'qi' (chi) or lifeforce. A woman who reportedly lived over three hundred years during the Tang Dynasty (A.D.618-907) claimed her secret to longevity was the wolfberry.
In the 1950's a story was published about a great herbal master Li Quingyun who lived over 200 years and died in 1930. In his life account, he revealed the secret to his longevity was taking 5 grams of wolfberries everyday. "From then on, I became healthy and agile. I can walk a hundred li (which equals a kilometer) and not feel tired. I became better in strength and stamina than the average person. "
The Chinese national census recently reported that the number of Ningxia residents living more than 100 years exceeds the national average by an amazing 400 percent. Ningxia locals freely admit their health secret lies in the locally grown wolfberries.

The Huang He (Yellow) River originates in the Himalayan Mountains and flows through the Ningxia Province. For centuries, the river has created a unique, mineral-rich, super fertile silt-water flood plain found nowhere else on earth. It is the perfect place to grow wolfberries. Locals call it, "China's herbal medicine valley" and protect it.The Ningxia variety of Lycium barbarum " is far superior to ordinary Chinese wolfberry in both tonic effects and economic results. Interestingly, many medical studies done on the wolfberry have specified the use of the Ningxia wolfberries.

Gary Young in search for the ultimate Superfruit
D. Gary Young, Founder of Young Living was dedicated to searching the globe for the best that Mother nature offered humanity. He traveled the world seeking the secrets of longevity, energy, wellness and vitality. Gary was introduced to Dr. Songqiao Chao, a Chinese scientist, who introduced him to the remarkable Ningxia wolfberry. Gary learned from the Ningxia Institute of Nutrition how the Ningxia wolfberry was found to be one of the most nutrient-dense foods on this planet.
This superfruit has one of the highest percentages of fiber of any whole food and contains zeaxanthin - a carotenoid important to maintaining healthy vision. It also contains polysaccharides, amino acids, and symbiotic vitamin mineral pairs that when present together promote optimum internal absorption. By using whole wolfberry puree - juice, peel, seeds, and fruit - Young Living is able to maintain more of the desired health-supporting benefits in every bottle of Ningxia Red.
In fact, the Ningxia wolfberry is the richest known whole-food source of natural vitamin B1 or thiamine, which is essential for proper energy production, carbohydrate metabolism, and thyroid function.
PROTEIN
Ningxia wolfberry contains as much protein as raw oats, one of the richest known sources of plant protein. The wolfberry is also rich in the essential amino acid leucine, as well as the semi-essential amino acid L-arginine. Protein is also a vital building block of white blood cells and antibodies, which are some of the most prolifically reproducing cells in the body.
A healthy thymus gland is vital for optimum cell-mediated immunity, since it acts as a training camp to physically condition and train SWAT teams of T-lymphocytes to recognize and wipe out disease-causing infections or growth-crazed cancer cells. Research has revealed that a chronic lack of protein shrinks the thymus gland, thereby impairing immune response.

Vitamin and Minerals- Key to Long Life
There is more about the Nutritional Profile:
*Potassium:
Did you know that by increasing your intake of potassium can potentially slow the age-related decline of GABA and growth hormone. The Ningxia wolfberry is the highest known whole-food source of potassium.
*Zinc:
The Ningxia wolfberry is a rich vegetarian source of zinc, a mineral critical for healthy immunity. The dried berry has five times as much zinc as Brussels sprouts and more zinc than raw eggs.!
Zinc plays an essential role in the production of natural killer cells, IgG, gamma interferon, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Zinc also enhances the microbe-killing activity of macrophages and increases levels of CD4 cytotoxic lymphocytes while lowering levels of CD8 immune-suppressing lymphocytes. Zinc deficiencies have been shown in both animal and human models. Zinc deficiencies become more pronounced with advancing age as stomach acid declines, making it more difficult for the body to absorb zinc. In one study by Wayne State University, a group of 180 randomly selected elderly subjects showed a mean dietary zinc intake of only 9 mg per day, which is 40 % less than the recommended dietary allowance of 15 mg per day set by the Food and Nutrition Board.

*Fiber
With over 21 percent fiber by weight, the Ningxia wolfberry has more fiber than oat bran and double the fiber of buckwheat. In fact, the Ningxia wolfberry has one of the highest percentages of fiber of any whole food.
The Ningxia wolfberry is also rich in soluble fiber, which is highly efficient in removing triglycerides and cholesterol from the blood and lowering the risk of heart disease.
A diet high in fiber has been directly linked to a lower risk of cancer, increased stability of blood sugar levels and a lowered risk of heart disease.
*Carotenoids
Ningxia wolfberry is more than just a whole food high in minerals and vitamins, it also contains many unique phytonutrients that have been shown to protect the liver, eyes, heart, and cellular DNA from age-related degeneration and disease. Some of these carotenoids have been identified to stimulate immunity without provoking inflammation: cryptoxanthin, alpha carotene, zeaxanthin ( a pigment concentrated in the eye), and lutein. As one of the richest sources of carotenoids, the Ningxia wolfberry can provide significant immune-boosting potential.
