Himalayan Goji Juice:
Secrets They Don't Want Us to Tell You


Our "Open Air Challenge"

Millions of dollars are spent on Himalayan Goji Juice - at peak price points - all on a promise that specific LBP-1, LBP-2. LBP-3, and LBP-4 polysaccharides are in the juice.

But where's the proof?


Scientific Claims Require
Scientific Evidence

To date, we have not seen any evidence that shows how many of these polysaccharides, if any, actually make it into the bottle.

In fact, the more the distributors tell us how heat-sensitive and delicate these "Master Molecules" are, the more we doubt how many might survive into the juice (see True Confessions, a previous page).


Full potency?

FreeLife guarantees that:

Laboratory testing guarantees that each bottle delivers the full potency and precise balance of these highly bioactive polysaccharides. (Source: gojiexpress.com - yellow highlights ours)

What does "full potency" mean?

Vitamin manufacturers list the potency of their vitamins on the label. Himalayan Goji Juice lists nothing. What good is a guarantee of potency if you don't know how potent it's claimed to be?


Precise balance?

And what does "precise balance" mean? If some polysaccharides fail to survive the heat process, couldn't the relative "balance" of any remaining polysaccharides stay the same?


What is FreeLife really claiming?

Is FreeLife really claiming that 100% of the natural LBP-1, LBP-2. LBP-3, and LBP-4 polysaccharides found in fresh goji berries actually make it into the final bottle in nondegraded form after juicing, drying, reconstituting, and heat sterilization? That sounds like a tall order to us.

Much of the goji berry is thrown away and never ends up in the bottle, so bottled juice could never match all the nutrients of fresh goji fruit.

We'd like to see the laboratory analysis which shows that ANY of the four polysaccharide LBPs exist in the bottled juice. Because scientific claims require scientific evidence.

Our "Open Air Challenge" to all distributors is to show us the proof.


Sound Advice for Consumers: Demand Proof

Our advice applies to all consumers when dealing with any company that makes scientific claims related to natural health; we are not singling out FreeLife here.

When a company makes a scientific claim to you, demand to see their scientific proof. And don't be shy to ask.

If they are unwilling to show you the proof, then why should you believe their claims?

Don't settle for promises. Don't settle for secrets. Do not be afraid to question. Just raise up your voice to them and declare:

If truth is your aim,
you must back up your claim!

Amen.
