Planetary Herb Treasures   Product Detail Product ID: HBG110    Category: Energy and Blood Formulas Premium Lycii Fruit Description: Fructus LYCII (GOU QI ZI; English: Chinese Wolfberry) is an important herb used to nourish the Blood and Essence. Lycii is used for fading or poor eyesight, eyes that are sensitive to bright light, backache and weakened sexual energy. It is considered beneficial to help increase reproductive secretions. In Chinese Medicine, it is said to brighten the eyes, and modern Western research indicates that this fruit has an abundance of vitamin A as well as zeaxanthin, potent antioxidants which help in the proper functioning of the eyes. The Lycii berries are sweet and tasty, particularly the variety from Ning Xia province in China where the best Lycii comes from. Beware of Lycii which is old and dried, for it has little value. Some Lycii is also dyed a red or red-orange color to try to hide its poor quality, so buyer beware! Ours is never dyed; it is the natural red color of the fruit. Our Lycii is plump and succulent as well as being very tasty since it comes from the Ning Xia Province. Usage: 3-15 grams.
