Goji berry extract concentrates the active compounds of Lycium barbarum fruit, including polysaccharides and zeaxanthin. Capsule and liquid forms provide a standardized dose in a shelf-stable format. Taking it with food often improves absorption of its carotenoid and polysaccharide content.
Polysaccharides in goji berry support immune cell signaling and antioxidant defenses. Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid deposited directly in the retina, helps maintain macular pigment density and filter blue light. Regular intake also promotes skin hydration and resilience through antioxidant pathways.
Goji berry can interact with anticoagulants like warfarin and with diabetes medications. Talk to a healthcare professional before use if you take any of these drugs.
