Increased Mental Sharpness Reported in Clinical Study

Do you think you have a problem making decisions? Well, you may not know it, but you actually make tens of thousands of decisions daily, and each one, even the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, relies upon the awesome computing power of the human brain. Like all supercomputers, the brain is powered by electrical energy. Instead of batteries and wires, however, your mind is equipped with complex circuits of neurons (brain cells), neurochemicals (electrical conductors), and nerves (pathways). When they’re working together in harmony, you feel mentally sharp. Unfortunately, many factors can decrease the optimum functioning of the brain’s complex circuitry. These include:

High homocysteine levels – An amino acid found in the blood of people with cardiovascular disease, homocysteine kills brain and nerve cells.

Hypertension – Blood vessels are damaged in the brain, reducing its supply of nutrients and oxygen and disrupting nerve circuits that control decision-making, memory, and verbal skills.

Diabetes – Too much insulin encourages inflammation and oxidative stress. Both contribute to cognitive loss.

Free-radical damage – This damage contributes to the premature aging and death of brain cells. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is widely regarded as the body’s most toxic free radical, and it is the one that is most often implicated in loss of brain and nervous system function.
What can you do to protect your cherished memories and your brain’s computing power? Here are some tips to sharpen your mental abilities:

1. Exercise your mind. Keeping your brain active is important for retaining full mind power. Reading books, listening to the radio, or doing puzzles are great calisthenics for the brain.
2. Be socially engaged. Having lots of friends and acquaintances and participating in many social activities is associated with reduced cognitive decline and decreased risk of dementia in older adults. In the NIA-funded Chicago Health and Aging Project, a high level of social engagement was associated with a significant reduction in cognitive decline.
3. Get your health issues under control, especially if you have diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure. Discuss a wellness plan with your doctor, and your brain will thank you.
4. Be physically active. Aerobic exercise, even walking, supplies brain cells with blood, oxygen, and nutrients, and clears toxins. One 8-year study on 6000 women 65 years and older found that those who were more physically active experienced far less cognitive decline.
5. Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day!

---

In a recent human clinical trial reported in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significant improvement in mental sharpness in as little as 14 days. In yet another controlled human study, GoChi was found to significantly reduce free-radical damage by malondialdehyde (MDA) in just 30 days! These groundbreaking clinical studies demonstrate FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.Be sharp!Your FreeLife Science Team

Are you getting enough quality sleep? Many experts recommend 7 to 9 hours daily, and even more for growing kids. And yet, more than 60 million people in the United States experience sleep-related complaints.

“People who sleep well, in general, are happier and healthier,” said National Sleep Foundation CEO Richard Gelula in a 2005 interview. “But when sleep is poor or inadequate, people feel tired or fatigued, their social and intimate relationships suffer, work productivity is negatively affected, and they make our roads more dangerous by driving while sleepy and less alert.”Poor sleep can also have serious long-term health consequences. An important recent U.S. Government study has established a link between inadequate sleep and the development of chronic diseases and conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression.

How can you help yourself to better sleep quality? Experts recommend the following:

1. Avoid large meals, caffeine, or alcohol within 2 hours of bedtime.
2. Get regular exercise to reduce stress hormones, but not within 3 hours of bedtime.
3. Sleep at a regular time every night and try to avoid late-afternoon naps.
4. Stop working at any task at least 1 hour before retiring to calm mental activity.
5. Minimize light and noise in the bedroom to facilitate the body’s natural release of the sleep hormone melatonin.
6. Drink 2-4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day!

GoChi – Clinical Study Participants Report Better Quality of Sleep

For countless generations, the goji berry has been helping the people of Asia find healthful, restful sleep. No goji product is more potent than FreeLife’s GoChi, and now its benefits for sleep have been clinically demonstrated. In a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial, participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported significant improvement in sleep quality in as little as 14 days! This groundbreaking clinical study has been published in the highly regarded Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), and it can also be viewed on the U.S. Government’s encyclopedic PubMed website at www.pubmed.gov. The acceptance of our study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Sales industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.

Sleep well!

Have you ever wondered about why so many immigrants through the years have risked so much to come to America. It’s because of the great opportunity it represents to create wealth and build a better life. That’s why we have such an illegal immigration. Legal immigration through the proper channels is what has made America great. Unchecked illegal immigration has the potential to undue so much of the good created by all the legal immigration This story is not about the debate over illegal immigration. This is about the story of one family who immigrated from Eastern Europe past the Statue of Liberty in New York to make a better life for their family. They certainly did just that.

However, because of this story Americans are now enjoying the incredible health and otherwise benefits of Himalayan Goji - GoChi Juice.

This is the story of Ray Faltinsky’s Family.

On Liberty Island, in New York Harbor, stands one of the largest statues in the world. The statue represents a proud woman dressed in a loose robe. Her right arm holds a great torch, raised high in the air. The left arm grasps a tablet bearing the date of the Declaration of Independence. A crown with huge spikes, like sun rays, rests on her head. At her feet is a broken shackle, symbolizing the overthrow of tyranny.The torch she holds rises 305 feet above the base of the pedestal. At night, it gleams with a powerful light as a symbol of liberty lighting the entire world. In 1903, a poem was inscribed on a tablet at the base of the pedestal. Lady Liberty speaks these words to the world:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

And so they came. The homeless, the tempest-tost. The freedom lovers, the dreamers. They left everything they had, said goodbye to families and cultures and began their flight to freedom.

In December 1955, on a refurbished, creaky old American Army boat, the General Langfitt, 400 people set sail from Bremerhaven, Germany. Their destination: Harbor of New York City. During World War II, this boat was used to carry American soldiers to Europe. Now it was used to carry the poorest immigrants from Europe to America. On this trip were Germans, Poles, Romanians, Hungarians, Czechs, and other immigrants from Europe looking for freedom in America. Many on the boat had waited for more than five years for this opportunity to leave their homeland. None of them spoke English or had more than $100 with them.

The conditions were primitive. Husbands and wives slept in different quarters. No one was allowed to bring any personal belongings other than clothing with them on the boat.

The boat was painfully slow. For more than two weeks it was rocked by stormy waters. Nearly every immigrant was seasick to the bone. At one point, the General Langfitt had to stop in the middle of the Atlantic for nearly three days because the waters were so treacherous. Many thought this was the last trip of their lives. But while the immigrants were filled with weakness, fear, and uncertainty, they did not complain because they knew this was but a small price to pay for what lay ahead in America.

That boat was of particular interest to me. Below is a photograph of a family on that boat. The man sitting at the table is my father, Nikolaus. The woman is my mother, Martha. The little boy is my older brother, Ron, and the little girl is my older sister Gabrielle. The year was 1955.

Ten years ago, in 1998, on the occasion of my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, I told this story at our annual Convention and in our previous monthly publication called the FreeLife Times. This summer, it is my privilege, on the occasion of my mom’s 80th birthday and my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary, to once again say thank you to my mother and father. Thank you for having the dream and vision of coming to America. Thank you for the sacrifice and courage to leave your culture and your country behind, because you felt we had a better opportunity in America. Thank you for years of sacrifice and hard work that has enabled all your children to grow up and prosper in this great country.

I learned many lessons from my parents, like the value of hard work and being honest. But the most important lesson I learned from them was how important it is to practice the Golden Rule: treating others the way you would like to be treated. This single rule alone has had a more positive impact on the record growth of FreeLife all around the world than any other principle we practice. It is the cornerstone of our business, and it will be the primary reason we will continue to grow and prosper as we become a bigger force for good around the world than any other Direct Sales company in history.

Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your flight to freedom and the life lessons that have made a difference in so many lives around the world.

Love,
Ray

People have often asked me what other nutritional products we carry - check out this list of health and nutritional products - click here!

I received a phone call yesterday from someone who just 4 days earlier had tried Himalayan Goji (GoChi Juice) for the very first time. Her problem she said was that she was out of it and needed more and didn’t want to wait several days for it to be shipped to her. She was trying to find someone from whom she could get more in her local area. Unfortunately I was unable to help her locate a local distributor. She kept saying how much she had fallen in love with the GoChi Juice in that short time.

Her story while slightly different is not that unusual. I’m constantly hearing from people saying how much they love the GoChi goji juice drink.

It’s no wonder professional athletes love it, even when they’re not being paid to endorse it. After all a recent double-blind placebo controlled peer reviewed study showed in increased athletic performance. Here is the story of one professional football player that loves the product.

Robert Meachem

Professional Football Player

Rookie Wide Receiver Robert Meachem was selected as the 27th pick in the 2007 draft by the New Orleans Saints.

A graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Meachem was named a high school All-American by Parade and SuperPrep reporting services. Meachem went on to attend the University of Tennessee in the South Eastern Conference (SEC), where he garnered rave reviews, and had what was considered his breakout year in 2006, earning an all SEC, consensus All-American selection.

In 2007, Meachem decided to skip his senior season and enter the pro football draft.

“As a professional football player, I need to keep my body in top condition for Sunday games. That’s why I drink Himalayan Goji Juice just before I go to sleep and just after I wake every day. I feel great and I have more energy.”

So there you go -one Professional Athletes opinion on Goji - GoChi Juice.

Here is an abstract from the recent GoChi study published in Pubmed.gov. A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Study of the General Effects of a Standardized Lycium barbarum (Goji) Juice, GoChi.

Amagase H and Nance DM.

FreeLife International, LLC, Phoenix, AZ.

ABSTRACT Background: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is the first study reported from outside China that has examined the general effects of the orally consumed goji berry, Lycium barbarum, as a standardized juice (GoChi(); FreeLife International LLC, Phoenix, AZ) to healthy adults for 14 days. Methods: Based upon the medicinal properties of Lycium barbarum in traditional Asian medicine, we examined by questionnaire subjective ratings (0-5) of general feelings of well-being, neurologic/psychologic traits, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular complaints as well as any adverse effects. Also, measures of body weight, body-mass index, blood pressure, pulse rate, and visual acuity were assessed before and after consuming 120 mL of GoChi/day or placebo control solution. Data were statistically analyzed for changes between day 1 and day 15. Results: Significant differences between day 1 and day 15 were found in the GoChi group (N = 16) in increased ratings for energy level, athletic performance, quality of sleep, ease of awakening, ability to focus on activities, mental acuity, calmness, and feelings of health, contentment, and happiness. GoChi also significantly reduced fatigue and stress, and improved regularity of gastrointestinal function. In contrast, the placebo group (N = 18) showed only two significant changes (heartburn and happiness). No significant changes in musculoskeletal or cardiovascular complaints were observed in either group. All parametric data (body weight, etc.) were not significantly different between groups or between day 1 and day 15 for either group.

Conclusions: These results clearly indicate that daily consumption of GoChi for 14 days increases subjective feelings of general well-being, and improves neurologic/psychologic performance and gastrointestinal functions. The data strongly suggest that further research is indicated to confirm and extend knowledge of the potential effects of Lycium barbarum upon human health.

Another First in the Direct Sales Industry for GoChi and Goji Juice.

We were the first company to bring the goodness of the goji berry to the world. Finally, we are the first company to offer peer-reviewed, published scientific research demonstrating the health benefits of our own product. In fact, today Kevin and I are proud to announce yet another first that no other company in Direct Sales has ever been able to offer.

PubMed.gov is a U.S. government sponsored search engine for accessing abstracts of biomedical research articles. It is run by the United States National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. We encourage you to go to PubMed.gov and enter “GoChi” or “FreeLife” in the search engine. Up will pop the latest study published on the goji berry titled, “A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Study of the General Effects of a Standardized Lycium barbarum (Goji) Juice, GoChi.” Yes, PubMed.gov, the U.S. government sponsored scientific research database, has accepted our latest GoChi study for publication! No other Direct Sales company that we know of has ever had a positive human study accepted on PubMed.gov regarding any of their products. To our knowledge, we are the first company in our industry ever to have achieved this scientific validation.

Our hat goes off to our Scientific Team for this incredible accomplishment. We have stated many, many times that the scientific validation of GoChi is unparalleled in the nutrition industry. No other product in our industry has this clinical science backing up their product. And I will also state that we have just scratched the surface of our scientific journey. We have in the pipeline further research on GoChi which, when announced, will quite frankly, boggle your mind and make you want to drink GoChi for the rest of your lives.

Don’t you love it when the guy who’s been knocked around, the underdog rises to the top, gets the girl and generally makes you feel good about life? You know the kind of story, it’s the kind that gets made into a movie. In fact the more the hero had to overcome the better the story, and the more we tend to admire, even love that individual when they finally succeed at something. Especially that person whose been knocked down and bullied so often they have to look up just to have poor self-confidence. Well this is just such a story. In fact when you’re done take a look at the YouTube videos referenced in the story. They’ll make the hair raise on your arms and give you goose bumps.

No matter how beaten up you may be, how much debt you might be in, how much you owe on your credit cards, how many rejections you have faced, how far away you are from your goals, I’m here to tell you…

Don’t give up. Success lies just around the corner!

Let me share a moving story about someone who never, ever gave up. In spite of great obstacles, he kept his dream alive.

Paul Potts was raised in Bristol, England, by his father, a bus driver, and his mother, a supermarket cashier. He developed a love of singing in his school choir, but he was shy and because he stayed out of the spotlight, his talents were overlooked.

Young Paul had a bit of a weight problem and he had been badly bullied in school, to the point that he had no self-confidence whatsoever.

“It was pretty bad,” he said. “They used to beat me up. I even thought of throwing myself down some stairs one day—not to kill myself, but to make people feel sorry for me.”

Growing up in a tough urban neighborhood, Paul did not dare disclose his growing love of opera for fear of being bullied even more. His passion became public only because he accepted a dare from friends to enter a local karaoke competition dressed as Luciano Pavarotti. His friends thought it would be funny to see him fumbling on stage, but the laughter stopped as soon as Paul opened his mouth.

Gaining a little confidence from his performance, Paul began to sing and even entered a local television talent contest. Although he didn’t take first place, he won enough money to pay for more voice lessons in Italy, where he actually got to sing in front of his idol, Pavarotti. The great tenor was impressed with Paul, and urged him to continue his studies, but unfortunately, fate had other plans.

Shortly after returning from Italy, Paul was stricken with a ruptured appendix and during emergency surgery, doctors found a tumor on one of his adrenal glands. They wanted to remove it right away, but Paul had no insurance and little means to pay. Although he was now singing opera with local companies, he was unpaid for these performances. He sang in the truest meaning of the word “amateur”—for the pure love of singing.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to have the surgery, and he had to sell his car to pay for it. This meant he now had to bicycle 15 miles to his “day job” as a salesman at Car Phone Warehouse, and work 13 hour days just to put food on the table for himself and his new bride.

In 2003, as if he had not had enough bad luck, Paul was knocked off his bicycle by a careless motorist and suffered a badly broken collarbone and severe whiplash.

The long and painful recuperation was made even worse by extreme financial difficulty, and Paul was so desperate that he even stopped singing for the next four years. By 2007, he was 30,000 pounds in debt, living on the brink of poverty. One day, while surfing the Internet, he came across “Britain’s Got Talent” website by accident.

It was a pop-up and he meant to close it, but instead, he maximized it. Paul filled out the application form <b>but when he reached the bottom where he could either submit or cancel, he could not decide. Was he too old? Did he have enough talent? He had not sung in four years! And so, in the end, he literally got a 10-pence piece out of his pocket and flipped it. He decided if it landed on heads, he’d go for it, and if it landed on tails, he wouldn’t. It landed on heads.</b>

With his best $35 suit, he dragged himself to the audition. Here’s a quote from Paul regarding that night: “I remember getting to the edge of the stage, and I seriously considered walking out onstage, waving to Simon Cowell, and walking off again. I didn’t know what I was doing there. It was a big risk, and I’ve never been much of a risk-taker. I just think it’s easier to think that you might have gotten something than to know that you didn’t.

You can see what happened that night by going to youtube.com and entering “Paul Potts.” It’s an incredible scene.

Paul went on to win that program and 100,000 pounds. He announced his retirement from Car Phone Warehouse, took his wife on a luxury vacation, paid off his 30,000-pound debt, and got his teeth fixed. “I’d wanted to deal with the teeth because I felt very self-conscious about them,” he said.

He went on to sing in front of the Queen of England and appeared on news programs around the world, including Oprah. He signed a million-dollar worldwide record deal and his album became number one in 17 countries, selling over two million copies.

Paul now sings around the world and is regarded as one of opera’s greatest Cinderella stories. “I still can’t believe it,” said Paul. “I keep waiting for someone to pinch me and say, ‘Wake up, Paul. It’s time for work—you’re late again!’”

If Paul Potts never gave up on his dream, why should you?

Are you tired of rejection? So was Paul.

Are you insecure about yourself? So was Paul.

Are you in debt? So was Paul.

Do some people laugh at your dreams? They laughed at Paul.

Do you have some health challenges? So did Paul.

Are you a bit overweight? Paul was.

Are your teeth a little crooked? Paul’s were.

Are you too busy working a JOB? Paul was.

The bottom line is that none of that matters, not even a little bit. All that matters is that you never give up on your dream.

Maybe we can’t sing like Paul but each of us, everyone of us has a unique and special talent that we can share with the world. What is yours? Are you afraid to let the world see it? Look how close Paul and the rest of the world was to losing out on being blessed by Paul’s incredible talent - the simple flip of a coin. My God I hate to think of how much poorer each of us would be now if Paul had not taken that risk, if he had simply decided to play it safe and not sing.

I’m often asked how much GoChi Juice or Goji to take. Well I typically
respond with take 2- 4 ounces and taking it in two doses instead of all at once is preferred.
However, here is a technique recently discovered and recommended by Chief Product Officer Rick Handel.

his technique is to take 2 ounces of GoChi mixed with 4- 6 ounces of water. Then drinking this over the next 1 - 10 minutes.

We’ve found that mixing the GoChi Juice with water seems to greatly enhance the effectiveness of the GoChi Goji Juice. In fact in the words of one gentleman “it makes the GoChi Juice like Liquid Rocket Fuel”.

What I personally have noticed is that mixing it in the water seems to work better than immediately drinking the water after drinking the GoChi Goji juice straight.

Your body tends to readily absorb water upon drinking so what we think is happening is that the GoChi juice somehow is mixing with the water in such a way that more of it is being absorbed by the body. And it is being absorbed faster.

Personally I noticed more of the following when taking it in this fashion:

• A sense of quiet calm.
• More sustained energy throughout the day - feeling less tired.
• More ability to focus mentally.
• Even better sleep.

This is no real surprise as these are results documented in the first GoChi Juice
Peer Reviewed study. The one that will be publised in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM) this summer. Check out this GoChi Juice Goji study - Click Here.

We continue to get questions about our new GoChi Juice the next generation of goji juice. We will continue to bring you answers to these questions to educate you concerning GoChi and goji juice.

Q. Are all goji juice products made from fresh berries?
A. No, while our new GoChi and original Goji Juice is made from fresh berries, other cheaper brands you might see use dried berries. These dried berries are in effect put into liquid to get them to basically re-absorb the liquid, then pureed and made into a juice. That’s a simplification of the process, but when you start with a dried product, you’re right away starting with a product that has lost much of it’s nutritional value.

Q. What makes GoChi and Himalayan Goji Juice unique or special?
A. Goji is the only plant that contains complex glyconutrients called Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) - the Master Molecules that are so important to your body’s defense systems. But these important nutrients can vary in quality and potency, depending on where they are grown and the growing conditions for a particular region in a particular year. FreeLife is the only company to develop a Spectral Signature LBP Process™ to standardize our juices, ensuring that you always receive the same high potency and balance of LBP, every time. And unlike other juices, there is never any added sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, or flavors in GoChi or Himalayan Goji Juice. Preservative-free GoChi is also the world’s first clinically studied goji juice product.

Q. How does FreeLife ensure the quality of GoChi and Himalayan Goji Juice?
A. FreeLife’s goji juice products are produced under strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), a total quality system that meets or exceeds the requirements of every country in which we do business. Our juices are thoroughly tested at every step of manufacturing to guarantee that each bottle delivers a pristine, high-quality product with a full potency and precise Spectral Signature balance of goji’s highly bioactive Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP).

Q. How are GoChi and Himalayan Goji Juice different from other “juices”?
A. GoChi is the only goji product we know of that is backed by clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness. Additionally, our goji juices are made exclusively from ultra-premium berries that conform to our Spectral Signature balance and potency of the all-important Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). Our Spectral Signature LBP Process delivers a cleaner, fresher taste and enhanced aroma without harming our precious LBP.

Q. I read that you have a quality assurance guarantee. What does this mean?
A. We believe every product you receive from FreeLife has to be the absolute best quality available and exactly what you expect. If you are not completely satisfied with the condition or quality, we offer a 90-day, money-back guarantee. Just return the unused portion to FreeLife for a full refund.

Q. Has an ORAC test ever been conducted on GoChi or Himalayan Goji Juice?
A. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a non-official, non-governmental test that claims to measure “total antioxidant power” in a laboratory beaker. This test is controversial because it cannot predict how an antioxidant will work inside the human body. In fact, many high-ORAC juices may perform very poorly when ingested because their antioxidants remain trapped in the gastrointestinal tract. Conversely, the bioactive Lycium barbarum polysaccharides in our goji juices work with your body to activate its own antioxidant enzymes, which can circulate freely to help protect every cell in your body. Clinical studies have proved that FreeLife’s new GoChi is the real antioxidant powerhouse!

Q. Are GoChi™ and Himalayan Goji® Juice classified as “raw” foods?
A. Within the raw food community, there appears to be much debate as to the definitions of “raw” and “cooked.” However, every step of our proprietary Spectral Signature Process is focused on one thing – maintaining the potency and balance of goji’s key nutrients, the polysaccharides. Pre- and post-sterilization testing has shown that our aseptic process never damages the delicate bioactive LBP in our juices.

Q. Are GoChi™ and Himalayan Goji® Juice classified as “live” foods?
A. Our juices are founded on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which places a special emphasis on the vital life force, or chi. The chi in our juices is found in its bioactive LBP complex, which can only be found in the goji berry. Every step of our manufacturing process is designed to preserve and protect these vital polysaccharides, and the results of our studies, combined with the great results that are experienced by our Customers around the world, are showing that we have designed our product very well indeed. And so, we very much consider our juices to be “live foods,” and we have many friends in the raw/live food community that agree with us.

Q. Did FreeLife use employees for the antioxidant and immune studies?
A. No. Our goal is to conduct GoChi research around the world, and therefore, we sponsored these studies at a prestigious medical institute in Asia that is not affiliated with FreeLife. None of the participants of these studies had ever tried Himalayan Goji Juice or GoChi, and were not even familiar with FreeLife.

Q. Will FreeLife be doing additional GoChi™ studies?
We’re committed to research, product development and process improvement. These three studies are just the beginning. We’re going to be around for a long, long time and we will never relinquish our leadership position as the number one goji company in the world.

Q. Since there is grape juice in GoChi™, can dogs drink it?
A. There have been reports in the veterinary literature of adverse events in dogs following ingestion of grapes and raisins. A small amount of red and white grape juice is added to enhance the flavor of GoChi, and we have estimated that a 10-pound dog would have to drink nearly a full bottle of GoChi (30 oz.) per day to reach the minimum reported safety threshold for grape exposure. However, it would be best to consult with a veterinarian prior to allowing your pet to try GoChi, as animals may react differently depending on their size and nutritional needs.

Q. Can the results of the tests that were conducted on GoChi™ be applied to other goji juices on the market?
A. The randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials were conducted on GoChi. As such, those results apply to GoChi only and not to any other goji juices, dried berries, or any other product on the market today. To our knowledge, no other goji product can even begin to approach the high potency of full-spectrum LBP found in GoChi, and that is why our studies have shown such spectacular results in such a short time.

Q. Do we still have the Spectral Signature?
A. Yes. The Spectral Signature is the proprietary electromagnetic fingerprint that identifies our berries and our finished product. As no two substances can share the same fingerprint, GoChi™ and Himalayan Goji® Juice each have their own unique Spectral Signature graph. The Spectral Signature that is featured on our labels and in our literature is an artistic representation. The actual fingerprints are kept under lock and key.
