Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Goji berries (Lycium barbarum), also known as wolfberries, have a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, where they are believed to promote longevity and general well-being. In recent years, scientific interest has focused on their antioxidant properties and potential anti-aging effects. Laboratory studies have shown that goji berries are rich in bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, carotenoids (notably zeaxanthin), and flavonoids, which may help combat oxidative stress—a factor implicated in the aging process. Animal studies suggest that goji extracts can reduce markers of oxidative damage, support mitochondrial function, and even extend lifespan in certain models. Limited human clinical trials have shown improvements in antioxidant status, immune function, and general feelings of well-being after goji supplementation; however, these studies are generally small, short-term, and sometimes funded by companies with vested interests. There is currently insufficient large-scale clinical evidence to confirm significant anti-aging benefits in humans. Therefore, while there is some scientific basis for the potential of goji berries in aging prevention, the evidence is preliminary and not conclusive. More rigorous, long-term human studies are needed to establish their efficacy for this purpose.
