Full Spectrum Goji Berry 700 mg
Planetary Herbals
Overview
The product provides a substantial 700 mg of Lycium Fruit Extract per capsule, with a suggested use of three times daily, totaling 2100 mg. This dose falls within the range used in some clinical studies, which often vary widely (e.g., 10-30g of dried fruit or equivalent extract daily). While the extract has demonstrated promising effects on cardiovascular health, lipid metabolism, and antioxidant capacity in meta-analyses and systematic reviews, the 'full spectrum' aspect is not quantified, and direct comparisons to specific standardized extracts are not available. The overall effectiveness is supported by traditional use and preliminary research, but more rigorous long-term studies on this specific formulation are needed.
The Good
Traditional Use and Historical Efficacy: Goji berry has been revered in traditional Asian medicine for centuries for overall health and longevity.
Antioxidant Support: Rich in antioxidants, contributing to reduced oxidative stress.
Potential Cardiovascular Benefits: Research indicates positive effects on lipid profiles (total and LDL cholesterol) and blood pressure.
The Bad
Potential Drug Interactions: May interact with blood thinners, blood sugar medications, and cholesterol/blood pressure medications.
Limited Specific Clinical Evidence for Formulations: While general Goji berry research is promising, specific clinical trials on this exact 'Full Spectrum' extract are lacking.
Vague 'Full Spectrum' Labeling: Nutritional content of the extract is not standardized to specific bioactive compounds, making potency comparison difficult.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking antioxidant support, general wellness, traditional herbal benefits
