Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) are the key bioactive components of Lycium barbarum (also named Gouqizi or Goji berry or wolfberry), a widely used Traditional Chinese herb for more than 2000 years. Believed to balance “yin” and “yang” within the body, Lycium barbarum is consumed for general health benefits. Besides, it also “nourishes” the eyes, kidneys, lungs, and liver. Indeed, Lycium barbarum has been considered as a “superfruit”, an inexpensive supplement for many oxidative stress-related diseases. It is currently included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People\'s Republic of China.
