In three recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials, GoChi™ proved extremely effective for human health in 19 key areas. In the initial groundbreaking study, participants drinking just 4 ounces daily saw positive results in multiple categories of health and well-being in as little as 14 days! Two subsequent studies showed that drinking 4 ounces of GoChi on a daily basis significantly improved the body’s immune system and antioxidant capacity within just 30 days! The 19 benefits identified in FreeLife’s three GoChi studies are no coincidence. They are all interrelated, and have been collectively termed The GoChi Effect™.

In addition to the beneficial study results, GoChi features special qualifications, standards, and certifications that make it suitable for vegans and vegetarians, keep it free from detectable pesticides, and ensure that it is gluten-free. Additionally, GoChi is not genetically modified or irradiated, contains no added sugar, artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. It has a natural flavor that tastes great! We’ve enhanced our original juice blend, which now features a small amount of pomegranate to round out the color and taste!

GoChi’s benefits start working the moment the alarm sounds each morning. The study showed that people in the GoChi group reported awakening easier and feeling more refreshed. The placebo group, on the other hand, reported no significant improvement in awakening.

Awaking easier helps jump-start the day and sets the tone for higher energy levels. In the study, the placebo group experienced a slight decrease in energy levels, while the GoChi group experienced an energy boost throughout the day. This finding is significant indeed, as GoChi contains no caffeine or added stimulants.

In the study, the placebo group noticed a slight increase in their fatigue level, as compared to how they felt at the start of the study. However, the GoChi group showed a significant improvement in the level of fatigue they experienced. Less fatigue means more stamina and endurance, and when you add that to the increased energy people found in the GoChi group of the study, it’s an unbeatable combination!

Why Consider Trying GoChi Juice -Because of These 7 Reasons

We are constantly hearing from people getting great results with GoChi Juice and Himalayan Goji Juice. Here are several of those stories.

“A little over two years ago, I was inundated with personal and health crises. My mother passed away, I moved three times, and I experienced an extreme reaction to sprayed pesticides, leaving me bed-ridden for nearly a year. I had been an Olympic trained athlete all my life, but my body hadn’t bounced back fully from the stress I endured. Recently, a good friend introduced me to Himalayan Goji Juice. Soon after, I felt well-rested and my energy improved. I keep feeling better each day! I have found my life’s purpose, helping others regain the quality of life they want.”

~Carol DeGoff California

“I am an over-50, fairly healthy lady. I started drinking Himalayan Goji Juice in March 2007. I’ve noticed that I have more energy, especially in the evenings. I used to doze off while watching the 6:00 p.m. news, but now I am wide awake and energized until 11:00 p.m. Himalayan Goji Juice is a great product and I will drink it well into my ‘old age’ - I will drink it forever!”

~Rena Bassit, Alberta, Canada Accountant

“At work, I am constantly walking back and forth to the warehouse. A supervisor told me about Himalayan Goji Juice and gave me a bottle to try. Within a week, I noticed my energy level increasing and now after drinking Himalayan Goji Juice for a month, I feel great! I am amazed and tell everyone about Himalayan Goji Juice”

~Ruth Gray, Ohio

“I received a call from an old friend and she told me about Himalayan Goji Juice. I was familiar with goji berries but not the juice. Within a week, I had more energy, and after two weeks, I felt like a new person. Himalayan Goji Juice has made eating healthier easy - I crave veggies!”

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!

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!

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.

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.
