Himalayan Goji Juice Opinions

Goji Juice Scam – The Misinformation and Lies

FreeLife, the MLM (multi-level marketing) company is the maker of the so-called Himalayan Goji Juice. While the juice in the bottle is 100% pure goji, it comes nowhere near the Himalayan Mountains. The small, red fruit that is the sole ingredient in the juice is grown is western China that happens to be far away from the famous mountain ranges. There are some species closely related to the goji berry in that part of the world, and in all likelihood, that is where people first discovered its healing properties. Unfortunately, the neither the climate nor the soil is suitable for cultivating the berry there. So, why did FreeLife made their product appear like it was from the Himalayas? It is a deliberate marketing ploy to make more sales. Hence it is a goji juice scam.

It has also peaked the interest of the authorities in New Zealand and other countries the way the product has been marketed. Some marketers have been known to make false claims in an attempt to increase sales. This is not necessarily the manufacturer and distributor of the product, but the ‘downline’ (this is what the people are often referred to who decide to sell the product themselves after they have been consumers in an MLM setup). If you want more accurate information on goji juice, make sure that you are careful what you invest your hopes in.

There are a lot of unsolicited testimonials that report results that sometimes borderline on the miraculous. This doesn’t mean that they amount to goji juice scam. This only means that these claims have not been independently confirmed in a so-called peer-reviewed study. Anecdotal evidence can be quite real, but it is up to one’s self to decide how much faith and their money they want to invest in these stories. You can’t be sure how much the people who are writing these testimonials can really attribute to goji juice and how much to other factors, such as their prescribed medication, their change of attitude or the placebo effect.

In conclusion, by and large, goji as a beneficial herb seems to be quite real. The goji juice scam factor enters into the equation only when in comes to the deceptive marketing practices of certain marketers of the product. It is highly recommended that you ‘do your homework’ before you invest your money and ,perhaps more importantly, your hopes onto this product.
