Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.), also known as wolfberry, is a deciduous shrub belonging to the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Native to China, it has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a functional food and herbal remedy. The bright red-orange berries are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, carotenoids (especially zeaxanthin), polysaccharides (LBPs), flavonoids, amino acids, and essential minerals. These bioactive compounds contribute to the fruit’s strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-supporting properties.
