Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) For thousands of years, Chinese healers used the fruit from the Wolfberry bush to strengthen the eyes, liver, kidneys, and build healthy circulatory and immune systems.

Wolfberry is a commonly used Chinese herb considered to have a tonic effect on various organs. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, wolfberry nourishes and tonifies the liver and kidneys and improves eyesight. Chinese physicians also use wolfberry for treatment of infertility. In fact, in vitro results have shown a protective effect against testicular degeneration, thus providing a scientific basis for the traditional use of this plant. Pharmacological and clinical research also indicate that wolfberry imparts a protective effect on the liver, and raises serum levels and macular density of zeaxanthin, which may decrease the risk for age-related macular degeneration—wolfberry is a good dietary source of zeaxanthin. Recent in vitro and animal studies show that wolfberry polysaccharides demonstrate antioxidative and immunomodulation activity, and have been shown to inhibit the growth of and induce apoptosis (cell death) in human leukemia cells. In addition, wolfberry polysaccharide given to mice provided a significant adaptability to exercise load, improved resistance and accelerated elimination of fatigue following strenuous exercise.
