Abstract EN
Goji berries (Lycium fruits) are usually found in Asia, particularly in northwest regions of China.
Traditionally, dried goji berries are cooked before they are consumed.
They are commonly used in Chinese soups and as herbal tea.
Moreover, goji berries are used for the production of tincture, wine, and juice.
Goji berries are high antioxidant potential fruits which alleviate oxidative stress to confer many health protective benefits such as preventing free radicals from damaging DNA, lipids, and proteins.
Therefore, the aim of the review was to focus on the bioactive compounds and pharmacological properties of goji berries including their molecular mechanisms of action.
The health benefits of goji berries include enhancing hemopoiesis, antiradiation, antiaging, anticancer, improvement of immunity, and antioxidation.
There is a better protection through synergistic and additive effects in fruits and herbal products from a complex mixture of phytochemicals when compared to one single phytochemical.
