It is rich in trace elements such as zinc and selenium, which can enhance the anti-cancer ability of human body.
5. it is also rich in vitamin c and soluble fiber, which not only has a health care effect on the skin, but also makes the skin white and tender.
6. Okra is also rich in calcium. Its oxalic acid content is low, so the absorption and utilization rate of calcium is higher, which is better than milk. It is a good source of calcium for vegetarians and developing children.

Sexual taste: Lycium barbarum: sweet and flat. Lycium barbarum leaves: bitter and sweet; Cold sex.
Function: Lycium barbarum: nourishing liver, kidney and lungs. Lycium barbarum leaves: tonifying deficiency and essence, clearing away heat and improving eyesight.
Efficacy-immunomodulation
Lycium barbarum is rich in Lycium barbarum polysaccharide, which is a water-soluble polysaccharide. Consists of arabinose, glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and rhamnose. It has physiological activity, can enhance nonspecific immune function, improve disease resistance, and inhibit tumor growth and cell mutation.
Efficacy II Anti-aging
Immune aging is closely related to apoptosis. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can obviously improve the phagocytic function of phagocytes and the proliferation ability of lymphocytes.
Efficacy III anti-tumor
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide is not only a biological response regulator to regulate immune response, but also can play an anti-cancer role through nerve-endocrine-immune regulation network.
Efficacy four anti-fatigue
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can significantly increase the storage of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen in mice, and improve the total activity of blood lactate dehydrogenase before and after exercise; Reduce the increase of blood urea nitrogen after strenuous exercise in mice and accelerate the clearance rate of blood urea nitrogen after exercise. This shows that Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has a very obvious effect on eliminating fatigue.
Efficacy five radiation injury
Lycium barbarum L. has the functions of radiation resistance and body protection. It can be used as an auxiliary drug to cooperate with radiotherapy and other anti-tumor treatments, reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy, improve the curative effect and protect the immune function of the body.
Efficacy six regulates blood lipid
Lycium barbarum can effectively reduce the contents of triglyceride and cholesterol in serum of hyperlipidemia rats, and has obvious effects of lowering blood lipid and regulating lipid metabolism, which has a positive effect on preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Efficacy 7 lowers blood sugar.
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can obviously enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase in damaged islet cells, improve the antioxidant capacity of islet cells, reduce the damage of peroxide to cells and reduce the production of internal dialdehyde, which shows that Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has a certain protective effect on islet cells.
Efficacy eight lowers blood pressure
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can reduce blood pressure in rats (both systolic and diastolic blood pressure are effective); Reduce the contents of malondialdehyde and endothelin in plasma and blood vessels, increase the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide and prevent the formation of hypertension.
Efficacy nine protects the reproductive system
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can increase the level of serum sex hormones in rats with testicular injury; Improve the organ coefficient of testis and epididymis, increase SOD activity of rat testis, reduce MDA content, and restore the damaged testis to near normal level.
Efficacy 10: Improve eyesight.
Human retinal photoreceptors are composed of retinol and opsin. The abundant B- carotene in Lycium barbarum can be converted into vitamin A in human body, and vitamin A can produce retinol, thus improving vision and preventing macular diseases.
Efficacy 11: Improve the resistance to respiratory diseases.
Lycium barbarum is rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in human body, and has the function of maintaining the normal growth and differentiation of epithelial tissues. When sufficient, it can prevent respiratory tract infections such as nose, pharynx and larynx and improve the disease resistance of respiratory tract.
Efficacy 12 beauty beauty, moisturize skin.
Skin aging is mainly caused by free radical oxidation. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide and b-carotene contained in Lycium barbarum are powerful antioxidants, and the synergistic effect of selenium and vitamin E contained in Lycium barbarum constitutes a powerful antioxidant. In addition, vitamin A can also maintain the growth and differentiation of epithelial tissue, prevent dry skin and keratinization of hair follicles, thus playing a role in beauty beauty and moisturizing the skin.
