Goji Berries
Modern chemistry and science are steadily confirming the ancient repute of goji berries in Asia, where goji have long been used in tea, medicine, or food, for longevity and health.
In particular, among common foods, goji berries have the highest concentration of melatonin known, so they can improve sleep; and they are in the top 3 for for antioxidant capacity within the already super-ranked food family of berries — so they’re even better at quenching the pro-aging fires of oxidation and inflammation, and protecting our cells from daily damage, than more common berries.
