Studies on GoChi Juice, Taislim Weight Loss Jiaogulan Tonic

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Here’s one of those obligatory blog posts you want to save in the event you’re having trouble sleeping at night. Spend 5 minutes reading this and you’ll be sawing logs with the best of them. You may even be awarded an official Lumber Jack of the Year Award.

I’m just trying to liven up a pretty boring subject – scientific studies. While they do have all the excitement of watching paint dry they do perform a very worth while service showing just how while these Freelife products of Gochi (Goji) Juice, Taislim for weight loss and Jule of the Orient Jiaogulan Tonic work.

Here is what Chief Product Officer Rick Handel has to say about these studies.

People new to FreeLife will sometimes ask why we believe that our products are the most effective and innovative in the industry. After all, many companies talk about the superiority of their products. But the FreeLife difference is that we actually back our claims with rigorous science. To illustrate our strong and ongoing commitment to scientific and clinical research, here is a current list of FreeLife’s peer-reviewed published studies and of the numerous presentations given by our Science Team at important scientific meetings around the world.

Scientific Studies Jule of the Orient Jiaogulan – Miracle Herb

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009


The more I see, hear and experience Jule of the Orient the Premier Jiaogulan Tonic it continues to greatly impress me more than any other health and nutritional product I’ve ever seen in my 14 years and 7 months experience marketing nutrition products. During this time I’ve evaluated countless other products I choose not to market.

The bottom line is this product rocks – I don’t believe you will find a nutritional health product on the market that even approaches the effectiveness of this product. Plus it has over 300 scientific studies documenting a number of health benefits. And here’s the thing. I’ve taken other nutritional products that had scientific studies behind them documenting specific health benefits. However, when you take the product you’re left wondering how much do I have to take because to be honest I can’t tell if the product is working or not.

Such is not the case with the Jule of the Orient. I can feel and know it’s working.

Here is part of a letter from Ray Faltinsky talking about the development of this totally remarkable new product!

Ever since my mom was healed of a crippling case of osteoporosis in 1980, I’ve been a student of the nutrition industry. My passion in life became to share the “good news” of nutrition with as many people around the world as I possibly could. Since our launch in 1995, we have done that quite effectively. We now have more than 60 scientifically based, world-class nutritional products that our customers love.

But our brand new product, Jule of the Orient, launched on September 11, 2009, is the most compelling product that I have seen in my 30 years in the nutrition industry. It has all the elements for unprecedented and “once every 6-8 years” success in our industry.

First, the story of Jule of the Orient and its main ingredient, jiaogulan, is compelling. In China it is called the “Immortality Herb,” because people within certain villages in the Southern provinces of China, where jiaogulan tonic is consumed regularly, are said to have a history of living to a very old age in extremely good health. They also refer to it as the “Miracle Herb” because of the amazing health benefits that the locals have seen for those who drink jiaogulan tonic on a regular basis.

Second and most important, is the compelling science. In the past 30 years, extensive research has been carried out around the world, and more than 300 scientific papers on jiaogulan have been published in respected journals. This makes jiaogulan one of the world’s most well-researched herbs. No other plant has been scientifically demonstrated to have broader applications for the betterment of human health and wellness. Today this miracle herb is used by health practitioners in China to support virtually every aspect of human health. In all my years in the nutrition industry, I have never, ever seen anything that has more diverse benefits for the human body than jiaogulan. I believe you will be absolutely astonished with the results you will be hearing from those who begin to drink Jule on a regular basis. I get goose bumps when I think of how many people around the world will benefit from this precious gift.

Third, jiaogulan is virtually unknown outside of China and a few other Asian countries. Because most of the research on jiaogulan has been done in Asia, many of the studies have only recently been translated into English. So that means we will be the first to bring jiaogulan to the market in a big way.

Fourth, we have partnered with the leading researcher in the world on jiaogulan, the man referred to as “The Father of Jiaogulan,” Dr. Jailiu Liu, MD and Professor of Pathology at Guiyang Medical College in China. Dr. Liu was appointed by the government to head a team of 16 scientists in a 10-year investigation of the amazing benefits of jiaogulan. As the newest member of our Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Liu was instrumental in formulating Jule. Here is a wonderful quote from Dr. Liu from a letter he wrote to us:

“I am humbled that the Chinese government has chosen to honor me for my work, but what is even more pleasing to me is to be able to share my years of research experience to help FreeLife to formulate and bring to you the most complete and effective jiaogulan tonic in the world – Jule of the Orient.”

Our relationship with Dr. Liu gives us an unduplicable edge in developing the most effective jiaogulan tonic in the world. On a personal note, let me also say that I have spent quite a bit of personal time with Dr. Liu and I have never met a more humble and wise professor. And even at age 80, he looks like a 60 year old and still has a mean tennis game!

Fifth, while our success will eventually bring many “imitation” jiaogulan products to the market, our patent pending formula cannot be copied by anyone. Our proprietary jiaogulan blend provides a high level of bioactive gypenoside saponins along with the entire spectrum of health-promoting nutrients from the freeze-dried whole herb and juice pressed from the leaf, stem, and root. We are not just providing one component of jiaogulan. By combining the entire spectrum of jiaogulan nutrients, even juice from the leaf, stem, and root, we are ensuring that you are getting the very best results possible with Jule. There is no other jiaogulan product like it in the world.

Sixth, we are entering a new category of liquid nutritional products called “tonics.” A tonic is a liquid preparation of herbs and nutrients formulated to promote a long, healthy, and vibrant life. While there are many “super-juice” products on the marketplace, there are very few tonics. And, there is only one Jule of the Orient.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, individual herbs are rarely used alone. Therefore, our patent pending jiaogulan is formulated with a proprietary blend of 21 synergistic Chinese herbs and phytonutrient-rich superfoods. Each ingredient was specifically chosen by our Science Team for its unique ability to dramatically enhance the powerful antioxidant and body-balancing adaptogenic properties of our full-spectrum jiaogulan. Together, they give Jule of the Orient a synergistic effect that is far greater than would be obtained by taking each of these supernutrients separately.

Seventh, the results we are already seeing are remarkable. While our 25-ounce bottles have just started shipping, we gave out sample bottles at our Convention. Over the next few days, we already started hearing from people who noticed some dramatic improvements in their health. I can confidently tell you that based on everything we have seen, read, and heard about jiaogulan, particularly as it relates to its current use in China’s clinics for a wide range of health benefits, the results you will be hearing about with Jule will be greater than anything you have ever seen with any nutritional product. Many people notice a clear, calm feeling of focus and energy within 30-40 minutes of consuming just 2 ounces. In fact, there have been studies done on athletes who consume jiaogulan about an hour before competition with tremendous results. So jiaogulan benefits are short-term and mid-term as well as long-term.

When you combine all seven of these elements, I think it becomes self-evident that there has never been a more compelling product story in the Direct Selling or nutrition industry.

If you’re currently reading this I strongly urge you to try this incredible product. You will not be disappointed. And then contact me about how I can help you share this product with others.
