Evidence Summary

In vitro studies suggest goji berry extract and its carotenoid components (lutein, zeaxanthin) may offer cytoprotective effects against certain toxins in neuroblastoma cells (PMID: 32387444), and ethanol extract showed anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activity against breast cancer cells in culture (PMID: 26525080). A rat study found that oral GBE improved dry eye disease symptoms in a dose-dependent manner, potentially via polysaccharides and betaine reducing oxidative stress and inflammation (PMID: 29115477). Taurine in goji berry extract may activate PPAR-γ pathways relevant to diabetic retinopathy in cell models (PMID: 21820420).
