Wolfberryクコの実 · Kuko no mi · เก๋ากี้

Wolfberry contains Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs), which clinically demonstrate strong anti-oxidative and neuroprotective properties by reducing systemic inflammation. Its exceptional Beta-carotene content ($24,000\mu g$) is a direct precursor to retinol, essential for preventing macular degeneration and enhancing dark adaptation. Metabolic studies suggest its inclusion in the diet may improve insulin sensitivity and support liver detoxification pathways by modulating lipid metabolism.
