Wholesale Tibetan Goji Berries - Better in Bulk?

Wholesale Tibetan goji berries are probably better buys – provided you know where to source your products. If you were looking for wholesale commercial products, such as Goji berries or Goji juice, your best bet would be to check out any of the online nutritional supplement stores.

In general, these online stores charge less for products similar to the ones found at online natural or organic wholesalers, or even Chinese herbal websites.

There is this tacit understanding it seems that "natural" or "organic" products, brands, claims, and whatnot, give the proprietors the right to charge more dollars.

Although many of these so-called organic wholesalers do indeed carry organic produce, they also carry the same food supplements found in less-natural, pharmaceutical-sounding websites.

Wholesale Tibetan Goji Berries - The Catch...

Charging more for organic produce is understandable, perhaps even if the price point of the commercial food supplements, sold alongside the produce, registers the same jacked-up levels that come from the burdensome "organic" label.

However, what is truly misleading and dishonest is that many of these sites use organic produce as nothing more than a hook to lure customers in to buy, for example, commercial Goji juice at $49.99, when the same bottle of juice is available in so many other not-so-organic-sounding websites at $10 to $12!

What is even worse is that many of these Goji product sites put on the appearance of a public information site, a forum discussion, or even a scholarly web page! Moreover, there are more disreputable Goji sites than there are genuine scientific or, at the very least, lucid-sounding ones.

Also, the marketing practices associated with Goji products are notorious for being multilevel or pyramiding scams, so that even if a seller gives you a "wholesale" price you cannot really be sure if he is telling you the truth.

It seems as if the FTC seems powerless to regulate the hundreds of thousands of stores and affiliate websites that populate the Internet. Even the FDA has long ago resorted to being content at having these food supplements labeled as having "No Approved Therapeutic Claims".

A good idea before buying into any of the hype associated with Goji, or any fad food for that matter (still remember Noni juice?), would be to consult actual scientific studies. The best source would be PubMed, a federal government database, which contains over a hundred articles on Lycium (the species to which Goji belongs), half of which are on Goji (Lycium barbarum L.).

Also, if you can buy fresh Goji produce from a market or reputable organic grocer, or if you can just grow them yourself, you will definitely be better off. If you intend to hunt down a grocer that offers the produce try asking for wolfberry, Chinese boxthorn, or matrimony vine.

No matter what the marketing hype says, ALL Lycium berries, provided they are sulfur- and pesticide-free, probably give about the same benefits. Although if you can find Lycium barbarum, then buy it for your satisfaction.

But the best advice when it comes to looking for wholesale Tibetan goji berries sources is still, caveat emptor.
