ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM
Ningxia wolfberries rank as powerful antioxidants and as the most nutritious fruit, and provide an array of nutrients and protein. Ever so slightly tart in flavor, use Ningxia wolfberries in cooking (not at too high heat though), as an added nutritional boost in cereals, salads and other foods, or snack on them right out of the bag (far more nutritous than raisins and no added sugar!).
The NingXia Wolfberry is different than other wolfbrries, this species rates the highest in antioxidants. To get more info on the NingXia Wolfberry and the delicious tasting NingXia Red juice click on this link:

It has a low glycemic index rating, making it ideal for diabetics, hypoglycemics, dieters, and athletes, as well as those who wish to avoid sucrose or artificial sweeteners. Use it in recipes by reducing the amount of liquid called for, just as with honey. There are about 189 servings per 8 oz. bottle.

How to use Organic Blue Agave: It is much sweeter than sugar, but with a glycemic index of only 11 (sugar has a glycemic index of 68-85). In recipes, use 1/2 to 3/4 cup in place of 1 cup sugar. You may also need to reduce the amount of liquid, just as you would for honey. Use like honey in beverages or on cereal, bread, etc.

The anti-inflammatory effects of both omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been demonstrated in many studies, in particular in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. However this only occurs when these fats are consumed in roughly similar amounts, such as what is found in hemp oil.
What is particularly interesting about hemp oil is that the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fat is 3:1, which is generally the ratio recognized as being ideal for optimum health. Most North Americans consume a ratio of 10:1 as a result of a heavy reliance on oils and products that contain significantly more omega-6 fat (e.g. soybean/vegetable oil).
