What is NingXia Red?

Experience the Power of NingXia Red

Infused with Lemon, Orange, Yuzu, and Tangerine essential oils, NingXia Red® is a delicious beverage that includes juices and extracts from superfruits such as aronia, plum, blueberry, pomegranate, and—best of all— whole fruit pulp from exotic Ningxia wolfberries.

This powerful little berry gets its name from the Ningxia region of China, where Young Living Founder D. Gary Young first learned of its unparalleled nutritional profile. It’s commonly called the wolfberry, though it’s also known as goji berry, an adaptation of its original Mandarin Chinese name, gǒuqǐ.

NingXia Red packs a punch, offering benefits that include support for normal eye health, cellular function, and energy levels. By enjoying 2 ounces twice daily, you can make NingXia Red a vital part of your journey to transformed wellness.*

Antioxidants

Antioxidants, why are they important? Because they are the antidote to oxidative stress!

Step 1

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress or damage is caused by free radicals latching onto healthy atoms and stealing their electrons in an attempt to stabilize, which causes oxidation. An example of oxidation is visible when a sliced apple exposed to the air turns brown.

Oxidation has been implicated in the origin of more than 100 human diseases and in the aging process.

Step 2

The molecules that lost their electrons to oxidation then try to stabilize themselves by taking what they need from other molecules, triggering a chain of free radical reactions.

This chain reaction has been implicated in the pathology of several human diseases, including cancer, atherosclerosis, malaria, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Step 3

Antioxidants to the Rescue!

Antioxidants bind to free radicals by sharing their available electrons and safely helping the body eliminate them. Antioxidants act at the levels of prevention, interception, and repair to oppose the free radical activity, neutralizing the damage caused by free radicals.

NingXia Red, a Seed to Seal Story

Young Living works directly with vendors at the Ningxia Wolfberry Farm and Distillery to grow wolfberries in a pristine location that is rigorously tested for pesticides, heavy metals, and other potential contaminants. Once the wolfberries are harvested, they’re cleaned and sent off to be pureed.

Reasons to love NingXia Red®:

Naturally sweetened with stevia

Stevia is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener that’s 300 times sweeter than sugar.

Contains no high-fructose sweeteners and no added sugar

Free from additives

Preserved with natural sodium benzoate

This is a safe and effective preservative that extends NingXia Red’s shelf life while maintaining product integrity. It ensures a 24-month shelf life but makes up less than 0.001 percent per serving.

Flash pasteurized for only 30 seconds and cooled right away to preserve nutrients

Standard pasteurization can involve several minutes of heat exposure and has been shown to highly degrade both the nutritional aspects of the juice and its appealing flavor and color.

We also take extra steps to keep the juice moving through a closed system that allows the process to be extremely monitored and prevent any part of the juice to remain hot for too long. Lastly, we employ a cooling tunnel right after pasteurization that cools the juice as quickly as possible. This step is not required, but reduces cooking time and preserves nutrients.

NingXia Red Timeline

1368

The legendary Ningxia wolfberry has long been sought after for its rich nutritional content. With documented use dating back to the Ming Dynasty, it’s one of the earliest known superfruits used in ancient eastern health practices. Residents of the Ningxia region of northern China have enjoyed the wellness-supporting benefits of the wolfberries that grow in the area.

Step 1

Adversity Produces Exceptional Results

A myriad of unique growing conditions combines in this region to produce a berry that is superior in nutrient concentration and hardiness when compared to its cousin species grown in milder climates.

The harsh, arid climate of Ningxia is essentially a desert, with the Yellow River bringing mineral-rich hydration to the goji plants.

Scorching summers, bitter winters, and an almost complete absence of rainfall all contribute to the pressure on this region's wolfberry plants. These factors cause the plants to store up a treasure of vital nutrients that sustains them through the difficult growing seasons.

The Ningxia plain produces what is widely accepted as the highest quality goji berries in the world.

Step 2

Gary Young meets Dr. Songqiao Chao

1993

Young Living Founder D. Gary Young was traveling the world seeking the secrets of longevity, energy, and vitality when he met Dr. Songqiao Chao.

Dr. Chao told Gary about how the residents of the Ningxia region of Northern China enjoyed the astonishing wellness-supporting benefits of the unique wolfberries that grow in the area. However, due to the Ningxia region’s physical and political isolation, knowledge of this superfruit remained relatively hidden from other cultures.

Step 3

A Miracle of Nature

Biochemists at the Ningxia Institute of Nutrition analyzed the wolfberry and found it to be one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. The wolfberry is revered for its unparalleled nutritional profile, which includes fiber, zeaxanthin, critical amino acids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, and a distinctive ratio of trace nutrients.

To ensure you’re not missing any of these transformative wolfberry benefits, we use wolfberry puree as the core ingredient in NingXia Red instead of juice. That way, NingXia Red retains the goodness of the whole berry, including the skin, juice, and pulp.
