Description: The Chinese wolfberry (known
as Lycium barbarum by botanists and as Gou Qi by native Chinese)
is more than just a complete food: It is a vitamin- and mineral-filled
antioxidant that contains over 15% protein by weight.
With more protein than bee pollen, more vitamin C than
oranges and almost as much beta carotene as carrots, the
wolfberry contains 21 essential amino minerals, including
calcium, chromium, copper, magnesium, potassium and zinc.
The wolfberry is also rich in vitamin B1, Vitamin B2,
vitamin B5 and biotin. Eight ounces of wolfberry contains
over 40 times the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of
vitamin B1 and over 10 times the RDA of niacin. (source:
