How is FreeLife's Himalayan Goji Juice different from other "juices"?
There is never any added sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors or flavors in Goji Juice, and goji is the only plant that has the 4 unique polysaccharides - the Master Molecules that are so important to your body's defense systems.

Is Himalayan Goji Juice organic?
Although produced to high standards of ecological and environmental responsibility, Goji Juice is not yet certified as organic. We are working toward a cooperative program of organic certification for our network of growers, but the process is slow. Goji Juice is certified to be free of pesticide residues. Also, Goji Juice contains no added sugar, artificial colors, sweeteners, or flavors.

Are there preservatives in Himalayan Goji Juice?
Yes. Freshness preservation is required to keep this chill-blended product from spoiling. We use less than one-tenth of 1% of naturally-derived sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in Goji Juice. Both ingredients are safe; they are even on the FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list. The only way to avoid preservatives would be to hot-fill the product in glass bottles. Hot filling would destroy our delicate active ingredients-the bioactive polysaccharides.

Why are other fruit juices added to Himalayan Goji Juice?
FreeLife's proprietary recipe incorporates a small amount of other fruit juices to ensure uniformity, and to help bring out the best flavor from the goji berry.

How soon should Himalayan Goji Juice be consumed after it is opened?
It is recommended that you consume Goji Juice within 30 days after opening and refrigerating the bottle.

After Himalayan Goji Juice is opened, how long can it stay out of refrigeration and still remain effective?
For best-keeping qualities, keep Goji Juice refrigerated after opening. It should not be left out for any more than a couple of hours, the same steps you would take for any food or beverage that must be refrigerated after opened.

Is Himalayan Goji Juice pasteurized?
Goji Juice is never pasteurized.  That is precisely why so many feel the benefits.  It is one of the world's nutrient rich foods kept in its raw form:  alive.

Is FreeLife's Himalayan Goji Juice only made with goji berries from the Himalayas?
Although they grow in the wild, goji berries are not cultivated in the Himalayas in sufficient quantity for large-scale distribution. The berries used in Goji Juice are selected from the world's best-known growing regions. These include Inner Mongolia, as well as Ningxia and Xinjiang in the pristine Heavenly Mountains of western China. .

Will there be difficulty sourcing enough goji berries?
FreeLife has several sources of supply for goji berries and has no concerns about difficulty in sourcing them.

Are the 4 polysaccharides unique to Himalayan Goji Juice?
The 4 polysaccharides are unique to goji, but can vary in quality depending on the ancestry of the plant and the growing conditions for a particular region in a particular year. FreeLife is the only company that has developed a proprietary Spectral Signature to ensure that you always receive the same high potency polysaccharides in exact balance when you drink Goji Juice.

Are preservatives necessary in Himalayan Goji Juice and, if so, are they natural? 
Yes. Freshness preservation is required to keep this chill-blended product from spoiling. We use less than one-tenth of 1% of naturally-derived sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in Himalayan Goji Juice. Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a natural constituent of many fruits and vegetables. Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a natural component of berries. Both ingredients are two of the safest preservatives that can be used in food products. They are so safe that they are even on the FDA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list. The only way to totally avoid preservatives would be to hot-fill the product in glass bottles. Hot filling would destroy our delicate active ingredients - the bioactive polysaccharides.

What are the 7 steps of exclusive Proprietary technology in the production of FreeLife's HIMALAYAN GOJI JUICE?

1. Selection Criteria
 Vine-ripened, Himalayan-quality berries are carefully harvested and sorted according to FreeLife's strict selection criteria.

2. Purification & Inspection
 Berries are gently washed at a licensed, government-inspected juicing facility.
  
3. Juicing Process
 Berries are juiced to a puree by cold pressing through a micro-fine screen to remove seeds and stems.
  
4. Analysis & Testing
 Goji puree is subjected to complete nutrient and microbiological analysis, and tested for absence of pesticide residues.
  
5. Proprietary Chill-Blending
 The puree is combined with natural ingredients utilizing FreeLife's exclusive recipe and proprietary chill-blending methods to preserve the balance and content of the active polysaccharides.
  
6. Cold-Fill Process
 HIMALAYAN GOJI JUICE is cold-filled into costly, plasticizer-free pharmaceutical-grade bottles. This provides superior protection as compared to glass with no possibility of 'leaching'.
  
7. Final Testing
 Finished HIMALAYAN GOJI JUICE is subjected to an exhaustive battery of tests, including Spectral Signature, polysaccharide analysis, and full microbiological   testing.
