i second the Navitas recc - all of their products - including goji - are high quality

smart shopping tip --> go to amazon.com and do a search on Navitas - pretty much cheaper then anywhere else i've looked

I use the navitas raw cocoa powder.

It's great stuff. I add soy and stevia for a great drink.

It's probably both of those plus the magnesium content. Mg assists in bronchial dilation as well~

Just all around a great deal for those with asthma.

I haven't used a rescue inhaler since I figured this one out!

:)

in my readings,gojis and wolfberries r closely related but not the same.and i have read disputing info on the origins of both...however its true that certain regions produce different nutrient profiles..i deduce that they started northerly and were distributed south..the original strain originating in what some people call china but used to be tibet

"People who buy the wolfberry for its health benefits should be sure to get only those grown in the Ningxia province of China, an area certified as "green" by the government, something similar to U.S. organic standards. The Ningxia wolfberry is the variety with the reputed benefits."




Pesticide use

Organochlorine pesticides are conventionally used in commercial wolfberry cultivation to mitigate destruction of the delicate berries by insects. Since the early 21st century, high levels of pyrethroid insecticide residues (including fenvalerate and cypermethrin) and fungicide residues (such as triadimenol), have been detected by the United States Food and Drug Administration in some imported wolfberries and wolfberry products of Chinese origin, leading to the seizure of these products.[22] Due to the demand for organic products in the West, some Chinese growers are beginning to experiment with integrated pest management and to explore the possibility of obtaining organic certification, something that does not yet exist in China.

Some Western resellers may state that their wolfberries are organically grown when in fact they are not. The Green Certificate claimed by some wolfberry marketers to be the equivalent of the United States Department of Agriculture's "USDA Organic" seal[23] is in actuality simply an agricultural training program for China's rural poor.[24] China's Green Food Standard,[25] administered by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture's China Green Food Development Center, does permit some amount of pesticide and herbicide use.[26][27][28]

Despite some claims that wolfberries sold in Europe, the United States and Canada meet organic standards[citation needed], there is no public evidence for standardized organic certification of wolfberries from the regions where they are grown. Often, these berries are marketed as Tibetan or Himalayan Goji Berries that have been "wild crafted" or "wild harvested". No organic certification of such berries has been proved.
