Is black wolfberry health care a gimmick of merchants or is it true?

People are now open-minded and willing to spend money to protect their health and buy a lot of health food and medicinal materials. The wind of medlar is very strong. The advertisement says that it has anti-cancer effect and is a popular health care product in recent years. The price is very expensive, 20 times or even higher than that of red wolfberry. It is said that Lycium barbarum has many functions. Women can use it to beautify their faces and remove toxins and moisture. Men can tonify kidney and strengthen yang, the elderly can enhance their physique, and children can improve their immunity. The most important thing is that it is famous for its anticancer effect.

Black wolfberry is not as effective as advertised. It can be regarded as a capital game, but it is rich in anthocyanins. There is no experimental evidence of other effects. It is not a Chinese medicine, and it is not in the Pharmacopoeia. Lycium barbarum has anti-cancer effect. It is believed that Lycium barbarum contains a lot of anthocyanins, which can scavenge free radicals in the body.

Although anthocyanins in Lycium barbarum have the function of scavenging free radicals, whether anthocyanins have anti-cancer effect is still in the research stage, that is, there is no scientific basis to prove that anthocyanins can fight cancer. At present, the anticancer effect of anthocyanins is being studied, so the anticancer effect of Lycium barbarum is still uncertain. In other words, the anti-cancer effect of black wolfberry advertisement is irresponsible advertising words, which can't fight cancer. It should also be noted that if anthocyanin is used blindly, it will excessively scavenge free radicals in the body and affect the metabolic function of the human body, which is not worth the candle.

If you just want to supplement anthocyanins, Lycium barbarum is not the best choice. The price of black wolfberry is relatively expensive, about five or six thousand yuan per kilogram. Those cheap black Lycium barbarum on the market are all dyed with Nitraria fruit. If you accidentally buy these dyed black Lycium barbarum, it doesn't even contain anthocyanins. This is a waste of money. If you want to supplement anthocyanins, you can eat blueberries, grapes and so on. The anthocyanin content of these fruits is also relatively high, and the price is relatively suitable.
