According to this site,

http://ancienthealer.virtualave.net/Wolfberry.html, the Wolfberry has

the following nutritional make-up:

Contains over 18 amino acids (that is six times higher in proportion

than bee pollen), including the 8 essential amino acids

21 trace minerals

more beta carotene than carrots

an astonishing 500 times more vitamin C by weight than oranges.

Also packed with vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B6 and vitamin E.

Other names for the Wolfberry: Goji Berry, desert thorn, squawberry,

Gou Qi Zi, Fructus lycii, Lycee, lycii

Origin Native to southern Asia. Sometimes cultivated as an

ornamental, and for fruit. A similar species (L. fremontii) is native

to the western part of The United States.

Apparently they cite a study done by the Beijing Nutrition Research

Institute conducted in 1988, that detailed the chemical analysis

and nutritional composition of the dried wolfberry fruit.

Since this website is trying to sell something I am dubious about

these claims until I can find a more reputable source. However, I am

unable to locate the research cited. Does anyone know how to get it?

Or find actual scientific analysis on this fruit?
