Ningxia Goji ™ - Goji Seed Oil Capsules
The fruit of Lycium barbarum L contains 20-25% of seeds, while the lycium seeds contain 13-18% of oil. Lycium seed oil contains as much as 68.3% of linoleic acid and 2600 mg/kg of β—carotene, the highest compared with some other famous health care vegetable oils. Linoleic acid is an important essential fatty acid found in Goji seed Oil, corn, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and soybeans.
Linoleic acid is an Omega-6 fatty acid. The body converts Linoleic acid to gamma linoleic acid (GLA) and ultimately to prostaglandins, hormone like molecules that help to regulate inflammation, blood pressure, blood clotting, arteriosclerosis, as well as heart, gastrointestinal and kidney functions.
Researchers say linoleic acid may help to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke (stroke caused by blood clots) because it can lower blood pressure and improve circulation in small blood vessels, says lead author Hiroyasu Iso, M.D. Ph.D., M.P.H., professor, Department of Public Health Medicine, Institute of Community Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki-ken, Japan.
Goji seed also contains 19.1% Oleic acid. Oleic acid is an Omega-9 fatty acid. Oleic acid is associated with reducing atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), reduced insulin resistance and, thus, improved glucose (blood sugar) maintenance, improved immune system function, and for possible protective effects from some cancers.
In addition Goji Seed Oil is used for cosmetics made of natural vegetable oil. It is known for its superior moisturizing and skin conditioning properties, with a veritable treasure trove of enriching essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, and oleic acid.

Uses of Goji Seed Seed Oil
1. Treatment of diseases:
The lycium seed oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, linolenic acid and oleic acid which is as high as 87%. It also contains phosphor fat which can help reduce the cholesterol in plasma, preventing cholesterol from clogging on the walls of arteries and thus avoid Atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which fatty material is deposited along the walls of arteries. This fatty material thickens, hardens, and may eventually block the arteries
Because Lycium seed oil contains such a high level of linoleic acid it may help to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke (stroke caused by blood clots) by a variety of potential ways, such as lowering blood pressure, improving glucose tolerance, lowering cholesterol levels, and improving blood circulation in small blood vessels.
2. Improves and nourishes your skin:
The main component of Goji berry seed oil is lineolic acid, which is 68.3%; another is oleic acid, which is 19.1%. it is about like 87% made up of oil acids. Goji seed oil is known for its superior moisturizing and skin conditioning properties, with a veritable treasure trove of enriching essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, and oleic acid.
If Goji seed oil is applied topically, it may improve the function of inner organs, promote blood circulation, invigorate the cells, help the metabolism of the skin, reduce the oxygen free radicals, prevent the skin from aging and improve the hydration function of the skin to make it soft, elastic and fair thus preventing wrinkles.
