The GoChi Effects: The Double Blind and
Randomized Clinical Studies
The 19 benefits identified in FreeLife’s GoChi™ study are no coincidence. Combined, they have been described as “The GoChi™ Effect,” as the benefits are all interrelated.
Study 1. This 14-day study examined the effects of GoChi™ on 13 key aspects of health and well being. Thirty-five test subjects were divided at random into two groups. The first group received 4oz daily of GoChi™. The second group received 4 oz daily of a placebo (a similar-tasting juice that did not contain any goji). The GoChi™ group experienced significantly better results than the placebo group in all 13 categories. Since the study was double-blind, neither FreeLife¡¯s scientists who conducted the study, nor its employees, who served as the study¡¯s participants, knew if they were drinking the real GoChi™ or the inactive placebo.
Study 2. This 30-day antioxidant study was conducted by a prestigious medical center in Asia. Fifty healthy adults were divided at random into two groups, a GoChi™ group and a placebo group, who received 4oz daily servings of either GoChi™ or the inactive placebo, respectively. The test subjects were not associated with FreeLife and had never consumed Himalayan Goji Juice or GoChi™. After 30 days, the GoChi™ group showed highly significant increases in blood levels of two key antioxidants, and also showed a significant decrease in a key marker of toxic free radical activity. No significant improvements were seen in the placebo group.
Study 3. This 30-day immune study was conducted by a prestigious medical center in Asia. Sixty healthy adults were divided at random into two groups, a GoChi™ group and a placebo group, who received 4oz daily servings of either GoChi™ or the inactive placebo, respectively. The test subjects were not associated with FreeLife and had never consumed Himalayan Goji Juice or GoChi™. After 30 days, the GoChi™ group showed significant improvement in the body¡¯s immune system, as evidenced by increased levels of three key immune markers. No significant improvements were seen in the placebo group.

Immune Enhancements:
Lymphocytes*: White blood cells necessary for immune defenses.
Interleukin 2 (IL-2)**: An important cell-signaling molecule.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG)***: A powerful and essential antibody.
Increased Antioxidant Power:
Superoxide dismutase (SOD): The body’s primary antioxidant defense against in ammatory free-radicals.
Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px): Important antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes.
* Most, but not all large granular lymphocytes are more commonly known as the natural killer cells (NK cells). The small lymphocytes are the T cells and B cells. Lymphocytes play an important and integral role in the body’s defenses.
** A recombinant form of IL-2 has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancers (malignant melanoma, renal cell cancer), and is in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic viral infections, and as a booster (adjuvant) for vaccines. The role of IL-2 in HIV therapy remains to be fully determined.
*** This is the only isotype that can pass through the human placenta, thereby providing protection to the fetus in utero. Along with IgA secreted in the breast milk, residual IgG absorbed through the placenta provides the neonate with humoral immunity in its first weeks of life before its own immune system has developed.
It can bind to many kinds of pathogens, for example viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and protects the body against them by complement activation (classic pathway), opsonization for phagocytosis and neutralization of their toxins.
