Frequently Asked Questions - Himalayan Goji(R) Juice

Frequently Asked Questions - Himalayan Goji® Juice Q. Is Himalayan Goji Juice only made with goji berries from the Himalayas? A. Although they grow in the wild, goji berries are not cultivated in the Himalayas in sufficient quantity for large-scale distribution. The berries used in Himalayan Goji Juice are selected from the world's best-known growing regions. These include Inner Mongolia, as well as, Ningxia and Xinjiang in the pristine Heavenly Mountains of western China. We use only those berries that conform to our precise Spectral Signature. Q. Will FreeLife have difficulty sourcing goji berries? A. We have several sources of supply for goji berries. Q. What makes Himalayan Goji Juice unique or special? A. Polysaccharides are unique to goji, but can vary in quality depending on the ancestry of the plant and the growing conditions for a particular region in a particular year. FreeLife is the only company that has developed a Spectral Signature to ensure that you always receive the same high potency polysaccharides in exact balance when you drink Himalayan Goji Juice. Q. How much Himalayan Goji Juice should someone drink on a daily basis? A. FreeLife recommends 2 ounces daily. An ounce of Himalayan Goji Juice is about two tablespoons. There are no known side effects from drinking more than that (other than smiling too much!). Recent research is showing 4 ounces per day provides even greater health benefits. Q. When can I expect to see results when drinking Himalayan Goji Juice? A. Everyone will receive benefits with different time periods depending upon their body's nutritional needs; however, most people will begin to see noticeable results within the first month. Q. How does FreeLife ensure the quality of Himalayan Goji Juice? A. Our Spectral Signature is your assurance of potency, purity, and authenticity in every bottle. Q. How is Himalayan Goji Juice different from other "juices"? A. There is never any added sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors or flavors in Himalayan Goji Juice, and goji is the only plant that has unique polysaccharides - the Master Molecules that are so important to your body's defense systems. Q. How is Himalayan Goji Juice manufactured? A. We produce our Himalayan Goji Juice using a proprietary, germ-free aseptic manufacturing process. This breakthrough technology guarantees a sterile product without the prolonged application of heat commonly used in pasteurization, hot-filling, and other traditional bottling methods. Our Spectral Signature LBP Process™ delivers a cleaner, fresher taste and enhanced aroma without harming our all-important Lycium barbarum polysaccharides. Laboratory testing guarantees that each bottle delivers the full potency and precise balance of these highly bioactive polysaccharides. No other goji product can boast this revolutionary technology. Q. Is Himalayan Goji Juice organic? A. Although Himalayan Goji Juice is not certified organic, it is produced to the highest standards of ecological and environmental responsibility. We are working toward a cooperative program of organic certification for our indigenous Asian growers. Himalayan Goji Juice is certified to be free of detectable pesticide and herbicide residues. Also, Himalayan Goji Juice contains no added sugar, artificial colors, sweeteners, or flavors. Q. Why does FreeLife not emphasize the vitamins and 18 amino acids that are in goji? A. Himalayan Goji Juice is a high-tech functional food, specifically designed to preserve the content and balance of the goji berry's delicate and highly protective polysaccharides. It is standardized to a consistently high level of polysaccharides, which are the most important bioactive components and are responsible for much of the benefit of the goji berry. Q. Does Himalayan Goji Juice contain preservatives? A. Yes. Freshness preservation is required to keep this chill-blended product from spoiling. We use less that one-tenth of 1% of naturally-derived sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in Himalayan Goji Juice. Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a natural constituent of many fruits and vegetables. Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a natural component of berries. Both ingredients are two of the safest preservatives that can be used in food products. They are so safe that they are even on the FDA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list. The only way to totally avoid preservatives would be to hot-fill the product in glass bottles. Hot filling would destroy our delicate active ingredients the bioactive polysaccharides. Q. Why are other fruit juices added to Himalayan Goji Juice? A. Our proprietary recipe incorporates a small amount of other fruit juices to ensure uniformity, and to help bring out the best flavor from the goji berry. Q. How soon should Himalayan Goji Juice be consumed after it is opened? A. It is recommended that you consume the Himalayan Goji Juice within 30 days after opening. The juice should not be left out for any more than a couple of hours, the same steps should be taken for any food or beverage that must be refrigerated after opening. Q. Can children drink Himalayan Goji Juice? A. Yes, Himalayan Goji Juice is great for the entire family. Q. I read that you have a quality assurance guarantee. What does this mean? A. We believe every product you receive from FreeLife has to be the absolute best quality available and exactly what you expect. If you are not completely satisfied with the condition or quality, we offer a 90 day money back guarantee. Just return the unused portion to FreeLife for a full refund. Q. Can I obtain sample packages of the Himalayan Goji Juice? A. We have received many requests for this type of packaging, while it is an excellent suggestion, a sample would only allow someone to sample the great taste, but would lack the tremendous benefits from taking the product over a period of time. That is why we offer a 90 day money back guarantee for anyone who tries our product. And since our rate of return is incredibly low, we have discovered this process is a great way to have people sample, experience, and stay on the life changing product. Q. Can I purchase smaller bottles or travel sizes of Himalayan Goji Juice? A. We currently do not offer this; however, our marketing team is researching this option. Q. Has an ORAC test ever been conducted on Himalayan Goji Juice? A. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a non-official, non-governmental, private for-pay service that puts a product through a simple test that results in a number that represents what they call "total antioxidant power." There are many different classes of antioxidants, however, they each work differently. To a scientist, the ORAC number means little because it does not give specific information about what kinds of antioxidants are present. Because the test is so limited in what it measures, we have never done an ORAC test on Himalayan Goji Juice. Q. How do I contact FreeLife? A.
