What is Lycium Barbarum Extract?
The fruit extract of Lycium barbarum is the dried and ripe fruit of Lycium barbarum in Ningxia, Solanaceae, as a raw material. After extraction, concentration, refining, drying, crushing, sifting, and mixing, it obtains the brownish-red to brownish-yellow powder product.
Lycium Barbarum, also known as Goji Berry, is a small, bright red fruit that grows in the mountainous regions of China. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years for its numerous health benefits.
Goji berry is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help boost immune function, improve vision, support healthy skin, and enhance overall health and well-being. Lycium Barbarum Extract contains a higher concentration of the beneficial nutrients found in the fruit, including polysaccharides, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals, making it a more potent and effective form of the superfood.

Core Ingredients
Different from the transdermal absorption rate of flavonoids that are emphasized in cosmetic applications or the overall medicinal properties emphasized in traditional Chinese medicine, the quality control core of dietary supplement Lycium Barbarum Extract consists of the following three types of ingredients:
- Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBPs): Protein polysaccharide complexes with a molecular weight distribution of 50-300 kDa, with a dietary supplement grade requirement of ≥ 30% (detected by UV method)
- Carotenoids, especially zeaxanthin dipalmitate, are crucial for eye health support. A 2022 study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry confirmed that their bioavailability reached 23.7%
- Betaine: As a methyl donor to support liver health, dietary supplement standards require its content to be ≥ 2.5%
Is Lycium Barbarum Extract Effective? How Does It Work?
1. Boosts Immune Function
Lycium Barbarum Extract is rich in polysaccharides, which are known to enhance immune function and promote healing. Studies have shown that regular consumption of goji berry extract can help to increase the number of white blood cells in the body, which play a crucial role in fighting off infections and diseases.
2. Supports Healthy Skin
Lycium Barbarum Extract is also beneficial for the skin. It contains a high amount of antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamin C, which can protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and UV radiation. Regular consumption of goji berry extract can help to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance.

3. Promotes Vision Health
Lycium Barbarum Extract contains high levels of zeaxanthin and lutein, two carotenoids that are essential for eye health. These compounds help to protect the eyes from oxidative damage, UV radiation, and age-related degeneration, which can lead to vision loss and other eye problems.
4. Improves Overall Health and Vitality
Lycium Barbarum Extract is an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals vital to overall health and well-being. It contains vitamins A, C, E, and B, along with calcium, magnesium, and iron, which can help to support healthy bones, muscles, and organs. Regular consumption of goji berry extract can help boost energy levels, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall quality of life.
What Are the Applications of Lycium Barbarum Extract?
Core Dietary Supplement Formulations
- Hard capsule: the most mainstream form, filled with spray-dry powder. Each pill contains 400-500 mg of Lycium Barbarum Extract (standardized to contain 30% LBPs), with a recommended daily intake of 2 pills.
- Tablets: Wet granulation and compression are used, and disintegrants (cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose sodium) and lubricants (magnesium stearate) need to be added. Suitable for high-dose formulations (800 mg per tablet), but the disintegration time should be controlled within 30 minutes.
- Oral solution: 10-20% solid content aqueous solution, with a small amount of erythritol added to adjust taste, needs to be sterilized at 121 ℃ for 15 minutes. The advantage lies in rapid absorption, suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
- Solid beverage (powder): Encapsulated with microencapsulation technology (wall material: octenyl succinate starch ester) to improve solubility and stability, it can be added to functional foods. In 2023, LWT Food Science and Technology confirmed that the retention rate of microencapsulated LBPs after 6 months of storage at 40 ℃ and 75% RH was>90%.

Extended Application of Functional Foods
- Sports nutrition: Add to energy bars (each containing 300 mg extract) to utilize their antioxidant properties and delay exercise fatigue.
- Elderly nutrition: Used in combination with vitamin E and selenium for elderly formula milk powder.
- Eye protection jelly: It is compounded with lutein ester to make a sugar-free gel jelly to meet the eye protection needs of children and young consumers.
Target audience and usage scenarios
- Immunocompromised population: Take 300 mg LBPs daily on an empty stomach in the morning
- Long-term eye users: Extract containing 15 mg of zeaxanthin equivalent, taken with meals
- People at risk of metabolic syndrome: 600 mg per day, taken in two doses
- Middle-aged and elderly population: Compound with Coenzyme Q10, 400 mg per day
