iron per 100 grams, beta-sisterol (an
anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid
(a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids
(cyperone, solavetivone),
tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin),
and betaine (0.1%).
Goji berries contain polysaccharides
which fortify the immune system. A
polysaccharide found in this fruit has
been found to be a powerful
secretagogue (a substance that
stimulates the secretion of
rejuvenative human growth hormone by
the pituitary gland).
