lycium barbarum fruit extract

Lycium barbarum fruit extract, commonly known as goji berry or wolfberry extract, is a botanical extract derived from the fruit of the *Lycium barbarum* plant. It is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and as a dietary supplement due to its high concentration of bioactive compounds, including *Lycium barbarum* polysaccharides (LBP), carotenoids (zeaxanthin), flavonoids, and betaine. Research indicates potential therapeutic benefits in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease, where it may protect neurons by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and dopamine levels. It also demonstrates anticancer properties, particularly in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, by modulating estrogen metabolism. Additionally, it is valued for its antioxidant, anti-aging, and immunomodulatory effects.
