Increased Mental Sharpness Reported in Clinical Study
Do you think you have a problem making decisions? Well, you may not know it, but you actually make tens of thousands of decisions daily, and each one, even the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, relies upon the awesome computing power of the human brain. Like all supercomputers, the brain is powered by electrical energy. Instead of batteries and wires, however, your mind is equipped with complex circuits of neurons (brain cells), neurochemicals (electrical conductors), and nerves (pathways). When they’re working together in harmony, you feel mentally sharp. Unfortunately, many factors can decrease the optimum functioning of the brain’s complex circuitry.These include:High homocysteine levels – An amino acid found in the blood of people with cardiovascular disease, homocysteine kills brain and nerve cells.Hypertension – Blood vessels are damaged in the brain, reducing its supply of nutrients and oxygen and disrupting nerve circuits that control decision-making, memory, and verbal skills.Diabetes – Too much insulin encourages inflammation and oxidative stress. Both contribute to cognitive loss.Free-radical damage – This damage contributes to the premature aging and death of brain cells. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is widely regarded as the body’s most toxic free radical, and it is the one that is most often implicated in loss of brain and nervous system function.What can you do to protect your cherished memories and your brain’s computing power? Here are some tips to sharpen your mental abilities:1. Exercise your mind. Keeping your brain active is important for retaining full mind power. Reading books, listening to the radio, or doing puzzles are great calisthenics for the brain.2. Be socially engaged. Having lots of friends and acquaintances and participating in many social activities is associated with reduced cognitive decline and decreased risk of dementia in older adults. In the NIA-funded Chicago Health and Aging Project, a high level of social engagement was associated with a significant reduction in cognitive decline.3. Get your health issues under control, especially if you have diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure. Discuss a wellness plan with your doctor, and your brain will thank you.4. Be physically active. Aerobic exercise, even walking, supplies brain cells with blood, oxygen, and nutrients, and clears toxins. One 8-year study on 6000 women 65 years and older found that those who were more physically active experienced far less cognitive decline.5. Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi™ every day!GoChi – Sharper Mental Acuity And Reduced Free-Radical Damage Reported in Human Clinical StudiesIn a recent human clinical trial reported in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significant improvement in mental sharpness in as little as 14 days. In yet another controlled human study, GoChi was found to significantly reduce free-radical damage by malondialdehyde (MDA) in just 30 days!These groundbreaking clinical studies demonstrate FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.Be sharp!REFERENCES:*National Institute on Aging Website http://www.nia.nih.gov**Amagase H, Nance DM.

In three recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials, GoChi™ proved extremely effective for human health in 19 key areas. In the initial groundbreaking study, participants drinking just 4 ounces daily saw positive results in multiple categories of health and well-being in as little as 14 days! Two subsequent studies showed that drinking 4 ounces of GoChi on a daily basis significantly improved the body’s immune system and antioxidant capacity within just 30 days! The 19 benefits identified in FreeLife’s three GoChi studies are no coincidence. They are all interrelated, and have been collectively termed The GoChi Effect™.In addition to the beneficial study results, GoChi features special qualifications, standards, and certifications that make it suitable for vegans and vegetarians, keep it free from detectable pesticides, and ensure that it is gluten-free.Additionally, GoChi is not genetically modified or irradiated, contains no added sugar, artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. It has a natural flavor that tastes great! We’ve enhanced our original juice blend, which now features a small amount of pomegranate to round out the color and taste!Benefit #1GoChi’s benefits start working the moment the alarm sounds each morning. The study showed that people in the GoChi group reported awakening easier and feeling more refreshed. The placebo group, on the other hand, reported no significant improvement in awakening.Benefit #2Awaking easier helps jump-start the day and sets the tone for higher energy levels. In the study, the placebo group experienced a slight decrease in energy levels, while the GoChi group experienced an energy boost throughout the day. This finding is significant indeed, as GoChi contains no caffeine or added stimulants.Benefit #3In the study, the placebo group noticed a slight increase in their fatigue level, as compared to how they felt at the start of the study. However, the GoChi group showed a significant improvement in the level of fatigue they experienced. Less fatigue means more stamina and endurance, and when you add that to the increased energy people found in the GoChi group of the study, it’s an unbeatable combination!

GoChi™ delivers at least 30 percent more Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) than Himalayan Goji® Juice. We were able to increase the polysaccharides in GoChi due to our improved proprietary manufacturing processes. GoChi also contains 20 percent fewer calories and 1 gram less of total natural sugars per ounce than Himalayan Goji Juice. GoChi was developed as a direct result of FreeLife’s worldwide research efforts. It contains all the goodness of our original juice and much more! We’ve engineered scientific advances into GoChi as part of our commitment to constant and never-ending improvement. That is why GoChi is truly the next generation of Himalayan Goji Juice!GoChi is preservative free. What does this mean? Through our advanced aseptic process, we are able to ensure that only the microbes are killed, not the beneficial polysaccharides.
