Hormonal Balance
In traditional Chinese medicine, many menopause symptoms are ascribed to a deficiency of kidney yin. For ages, wolfberry has been the yin tonic of choice to restore hormonal balance, which is the main ingredient in our NingXia Red!
Maintain Healthy Gums
The main goal of periodontal treatment is to control infection. This is best accomplished when leukocyte function is at its peak. Wolfberry can increase the number and activity of all types of leukocytes, and it can help fight gum issues by promoting the production of cytokines. Studies also showed that wolfberry’s polysaccharides could improve the attachment and growth of periodontal tissue.
Enhance Immune System
The immune system is your body’s armed forces. More than 40 years of research have revealed wolfberry’s ability to regulate immunity by commanding and controlling many of the body’s important defense functions. Wolfberry polysaccharides enhance and balance the activity of all classes of immune cells, including T cells, cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, lysozymes, necrosis factor-alpha and the immunoglobulins IgG and IgA and interleukin-2 (IL-2). IL-2 has been under study since 1983 and has been used for some immune system issues.
Build Strong Blood
Wolfberry is a renowned blood builder and rejuvenator. In one study, the berry caused the blood of older people to revert to a markedly younger state. Wolfberry has also been used in a number of recent clinical trials for treating low production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Cognitive Function
Wolfberry is the premier “brain tonic” in Asia. It contains betaine, which is converted in the body into choline, a substance that enhances memory and recall ability.
Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
Wolfberry has been used in China for years and its polysaccharides have been shown to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It also contains betaine, which may help with liver issues and the vascular system. NingXia Red is low on the glycemic index.
Respiratory Support
Wolfberry is used by Chinese herbalists, either alone or combined with other herbs for respiratory support.
Improve Lymphocyte Count
A lymphocyte is any of a group of white blood cells important to the adaptive part of the body’s immune system. The adaptive portion of the immune system mounts a tailor-made defense when dangerous invading organisms penetrate the body’s general defense. Wolfberry helps increase lymphocyte count and helps activate the system when the body is under attack.
Ease Morning Sickness
In China, wolfberry in the form of a hot tea is commonly used by first-trimester mothers to prevent morning sickness. Drinking this tea is a quick and effective remedy. It can be duplicated by combining 2 ounces (60ml) of high-quality wolfberry juice with hot water.
Alleviate Stress
As an adaptogen, wolfberry helps the body adapt and cope with stress. It provides the energy reserves to help you handle just about any difficulty.
Inhibit Lipid Peroxidation
Accumulation of sticky lipid peroxides in the blood can lead to cardiovascular system issues. Wolfberry increases levels of an important blood enzyme that inhibits their formation.
Optimize Cardiovascular Health
Wolfberry contains sesquiterpenes that benefit the vascular and cardiovascular systems. Its anthocyanins help maintain the strength and integrity of coronary arteries.
Restoring Yin/Yan Balance
In traditional Chinese medicine, headache and dizziness are often said to be caused by deficiencies in kidney yin (the vital essence of substance) and yang (function). Wolfberry is among the most frequently used herbs for restoring yin/yang balance.
Support Vision Health
Since ancient times, wolfberries have been popular in China for their vision-improvement properties. Modern Chinese scientists found that wolfberry is able to reduce the time it takes for vision to adapt to darkness. It also improves vision under subdued light, and blind spots were reduced in some patients taking wolfberry. Its powerful antioxidant carotenoids may also protect against macular degeneration and cataracts.
Enhance Fertility
Wolfberry has long been used by Asian physicians in treating infertility in both men and women. In women, wolfberry is said to have an unmatched ability to restore jing (reproductive essence). In men, wolfberry polysaccharides have been found to extend the life of sperm cells and were shown to be potent inhibitors of stress-induced structural degradation and testicular cell death.
Support Digestive Health
Wolfberry has long been used in the treatment of atrophic gastritis, a weakening of digestion caused by reduced stomach cell activity. Wolfberry itself is easily digested, especially when taken in its highly bio-available juice form in NingXia Red.
Suppress Seasonal and Environmental Irritants
A study noted that wolfberry reduced antibodies associated with seasonal-type reactions, presumably through the mechanisms of promoting CD8(+) T cells and regulating cytokines. Wolfberry’s master molecule polysaccharides also enhance cell-mediated and humoral immune responses, increasing the normal activity of T cells, cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells.
Protect Children’s Health
One of the most beneficial uses of wolfberry is its ability to strengthen the immune system to protect children from harmful health issues. As an adaptogen, wolfberry has the rare ability to help children adapt to adverse conditions.
Improve Disease Resistance
The free radical Superoxide has been implicated as playing an important role in the onset and progression of human disease. Superoxide is neutralized in the body by the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). You produce less SOD as you age. At any age, the stress of everyday life can overwhelm your body’s ability to produce enough SOD to ward off illness. Wolfberry has been shown to result in a remarkable 40 percent increase in the important SOD enzyme.
Support Normal Kidney Function
Wolfberry has a reputation as a kidney supertonic, influencing both yin and yang.
Strengthen Muscles and Bones
Wolfberry facilitates the secretion and release of HGH, responsible for many of the body’s important maintenance, repair and development functions. These include the production of lean muscle and incorporating calcium into bones and teeth.
Protect DNA
DNA is the most important chemical in your body, ensuring that your 100 trillion cells are faithfully reproduced as healthy duplicates. Exposure to chemicals, pollutants, and free radicals cause DNA damage and breakage, leading to genetic mutations, and even death. Wolfberry’s betaine and master molecule, polysaccharides, can help restore and repair damaged DNA.
Restore Healthy Sexual Function
The wolfberry is revered as one of the premier sexual-tonic herbs in all of Asian medicine and is legendary for helping spark passion. An old Chinese proverb cautions men traveling far from their wives and families: “He who travels 1,000 kilometers from home should not eat wolfberry!” Modern scientific studies have shown that wolfberry markedly increases testosterone in the blood, thereby increasing libido for both men and women. I guess that means a daily glass of NingXia Red can help in the bedroom
Improve Quality of Sleep
Wolfberry has enjoyed long use throughout Asia in the natural treatment of sleep issues. In several medical study groups of elderly people, nearly all patients taking wolfberry reported better sleep quality.
Support Healthy Liver Function
Wolfberry contains a novel cerebroside that was shown to protect liver cells, even from highly toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Provide Antioxidant Protection
Oxidative stress or damage caused by reactive oxygen species, such as free radicals and peroxides, are implicated in a number of the diseases and conditions that plague us. Our bodies are in a constant state of trying to balance the rate of oxidative damage; wolfberry contains a complete spectrum of antioxidant carotenoids, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin that neutralize free radicals.
