1. Extend Your Life
Your body’s ten trillion cells are under constant attack by free radicals. These harmful environmental agents can accelerate aging by destroying vital body cells faster than they can be replaced. Goji is known as the “longevity fruit.” Its unique master molecule polysaccharides and powerful antioxidants defend against premature aging, fighting free-radical damage throughout the body.

2. Increase Your Energy and Strength
Ranked as one of Asia’s premier adaptogens, goji increases exercise tolerance, stamina, and endurance. It helps to eliminate fatigue, especially when recovering from illness.

3. Look and Feel Younger
Goji stimulates the release by the pituitary gland of hGH human growth hormone), the youth hormone. The benefits of hGH are extensive and include reduction of body fat, better sleep, improved memory, accelerated healing, restored libido, and a more youthful appearance.

4. Lower Your Blood Pressure
Nearly one in four U.S. adults has high blood pressure (hypertension). Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure and/or kidney failure. This is why high blood pressure is often called the "silent killer." A 1998 research study showed that increased blood pressure could be prevented significantly by goji’s master molecule polysaccharides.

5. Prevent Cancer
Goji is one of the only plant species on earth that contains the anti-cancer mineral germanium. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Some scientists believe that goji may be an especially good supplement to prevent liver cancer because it exerts liver protection and anti-cancer effects at the same time. This is important, as the liver is the body’s primary detoxifying organ.

6. Maintain Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Goji contains beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. Its antioxidants keep cholesterol from oxidizing and forming arterial plaques. The flavonoids in goji help to keep your arteries open and functioning smoothly.

7. Balance Blood Sugar and Manage Diabetes
Goji has been used in China for the treatment of adult-onset diabetes for many years, and its polysaccharides have been shown to help balance blood sugar and insulin response. It also contains betaine, which can prevent fatty liver disease and vascular damage often seen in diabetics.

8. Enhance Libido and Sexual Function
The goji berry is revered as one of the premier sexual tonic herbs in all of Asian medicine, and is legendary for helping to spark the passions. In fact, an old Chinese proverb cautions men who are traveling far from their wives and families: "He who travels one thousand kilometers from home should not eat goji!” Modern scientific studies have shown that goji markedly increases testosterone in the blood, thereby increasing libido in both men and women.

9. Lose Weight
In an Asian anti-obesity study, patients were given goji each morning and each afternoon. Results were excellent with most patients losing significant weight. In another study, goji polysaccharides were shown to reduce body weight by enhancing the conversion of food into energy instead of fat.

10. Relieve Headaches and Dizziness
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, headache and dizziness are often said to be caused by deficiencies in kidney yin (vital essence) and yang (function). Goji is among the most frequently used herbs for restoring yin/yang balance.

20. Reduce the Toxic Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation
In one study, goji was shown to enhance the effects of radiation in combating lung cancer, allowing a lower dose to be used. Other research indicates that goji can protect against some of the noxious side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

21. Build Strong Blood
Goji is a renowned blood builder and rejuvenator. In one study, the berry caused the blood of older people to revert to a markedly younger state. In another trial, vital red blood cells were protected against free-radical damage by goji’s flavonoids. Goji has also been used in a number of recent clinical trials for treatment of bone marrow deficiency conditions (low production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets).

22. Improve Your Lymphocyte Count
A lymphocyte is any of a group of white blood cells of crucial importance to the adaptive part of the body's immune system. The adaptive portion of the immune system mounts a tailor-made defense when dangerous invading organisms penetrate the body's general defenses. Goji increases lymphocyte count and helps to activate them when the body is under attack.

23. Fight Inflammation and Arthritis
Extensive scientific research over the past 20 years has shown that, in acute and chronic inflammation, the free radical superoxide is produced at a rate that overwhelms the capacity of the body’s SOD enzyme defense system to remove them. Such an imbalance results in pain and damage to joints and tissues. Goji can restore the balance of the important anti-inflammatory SOD enzyme.

24. Support Your Liver
Goji contains a novel cerebroside that was shown to protect liver cells, even from highly toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons.

25. Treat Menopausal Symptoms
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, many menopause symptoms are ascribed to a deficiency of kidney yin. For ages, goji has been the yin tonic of choice to restore hormonal balance.

26. Prevent Morning Sickness
In China, goji in the form of a hot tea is commonly used by first trimester mothers to prevent morning sickness. Drinking this tea is a quick and effective remedy. It can be duplicated by combining two ounces of high-quality goji juice with hot water.

27. Improve Fertility
Goji has long been used by Asian physicians for the treatment of infertility in both men and women. In women, goji is said to have an unmatched ability to restore jing (reproductive essence). In men, goji polysaccharides have been found to extend the life of sperm cells, and also were shown to be potent inhibitors of stress-induced structural degradation and cell death in testicular cells.

If you have health coverage, try to to a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist to have your homrone levels checked. Heavy and frequent bleeding many indicate problems wih the levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in your system.

There may be an underlying problem like PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome. Do you also have cysts on your ovaries? Skin problems like bad adult acne? DO you tend to gain weight arund your hips and abdomen? Have excessive hair growth or are you losing scalp hair? Do you have problems with high blood sugar or high blood pressure? If you have any of those symptoms in addition to the menstrual problem, it's likely you have PCOS and you need to trry to see an ednochrinologist is at all possible. A GP could technically diagnose PCOS, but they often don't know how to effectively treat it. Most GPs will just put you on more birth control, which is not that effective of a treatment.

If you think you have PCOS and need more info let me know. I have PCOS myself, and I ahve a lot of info if you need it.

How does your abdomen feel? Can you push into it or does it stick out and is firm? If it does stick out and you are not pregnant, then you are definately having some reproductive issues, possibly from ovarian cysts or some type of infection which GN can diagnose. No one should be having periods every 14 days. 21 is even a bit on the short side.

Although ... i also found out a couple yrs ago that i have PCOS. I havent been to the gyno since then or followed up with thier recommendations - which was to take BC pills. I despise those lil pills nad refuse to take em. I did get a tincture recipie from Trilian thats a womens wonder tincuture but i have yet to start it. Funds have been rather low for me and the high quality herbs that are required are quite pricy ... but someday in the near future i will give that a try.
