• Wolfberry species, including Lycium berlandieri's close relative L. barbarum, have been traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support immune function and overall health. A daily dose of dried berries or a decoction may help bolster the body’s defenses.

  Lycium species contain polysaccharides that stimulate immune cells such as macrophages and T-cells, enhancing their activity against pathogens. However, specific compounds in L. berlandieri are not fully characterized.
