Goji Splash - Now Reasonably Priced But Still Over Hyped!

Goji splash is typically a combination of Goji or Lycium berry juice plus apple, pear, and/or grape juice. Often sold as a concentrate, the mix aims to balance the natural tartness of Goji.

Many people prefer the delicate tasting Goji juice to the more robust fresh berry. The juice is also a welcome solution to those who cannot find sources for fresh Lycium berries in their area.

Although recent events have revealed commercial Goji juice to be grossly overpriced, a significant number of online marketers have since adjusted their prices. The splash used to be available at only $40 per bottle, but may now be purchased for as little as $8 per bottle, the amounts varying between 16 oz. and 32 oz. depending on the pharmaceutical company or brand.

Goji Splash Advantages

Researches have been made on the effects and contraindications of pure Lycium berry extracts. But it would be assuming too much to transfer the benefits and reactions observed in these studies to Goji juice since it is far from being 100% pure.

However, this also means that manufacturer claims of nutrients found in the splash are more likely to be true, even if their medicinal benefits may not have necessarily been proven thus far. Following are some of the advantages of Goji in splash form:

1. Vitamin C packed – The splash typically contains more Vitamin C than oranges, although not all of it may natural occur in the Lycium berry.
   
2. Vitamin A rich – Some splash products claim to contain more Beta-carotene than carrots, and it may well be true if the natural doses were supplemented. However, NATURALLY OCCURING Beta-carotene in the berry cannot be said to be more than in carrots. What is accurate is that the carotenoid Zeaxanthin is indeed present in the greatest concentration in Goji than in any other plant food. Zeaxanthin is a proven antioxidant that protects the retina and enhances vision.
   
3. Multiple B vitamins – Unless the splash product contains Vitamin B supplements, the only B vitamin that naturally occurs in Goji in large concentrations is Riboflavin (B2).
   
4. Vitamin E – This claim is really unnecessary (unless the manufacturer added a large dose of it) since Goji is packed with enough NATURALLY OCCURING antioxidants to really improve a person's skin. It also has enough energy boosting minerals, such as Riboflavin and Iron, to improve endurance. Moreover, the high levels of natural polysaccharides have been scientifically proven to improve the body's immune system.
   
5. Weight loss and appetite suppression – The only proof comes by way of testimonials that have not, so far, been verified by scientific or clinical research. However, the natural micronutrients found in Goji splash (especially when 100% pure), such as Iron, Riboflavin, and Potassium has indeed been shown to improve metabolism.
