Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine Accepts Freelife Study!

We are pleased to announce that our recent GoChi Effect study has been accepted for publication by the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM)*. The study will be published in the journal’s July/August 2008 issue.

Before a clinical study is accepted for publication by a peer-reviewed medical journal such as JACM, it must first pass the scrutiny of a panel of independent experts, who review it on a blind basis (i.e., without knowing the author’s identity). These judges will not approve a study for publication unless they have ruled that its design is sound, its methods are consistent with good clinical practice, its data and calculations are accurate, and its findings are valid.

The publication of our study in this highly-regarded journal sets a new standard in our industry for the scientific validation of a product. This clearly demonstrates FreeLife’s commitment to provide you with the most effective, evidence-based and clinically-supported product available in the juice industry, GoChi™.

Entitled: “A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Clinical Study of the General Effects of a Standardized Lycium barbarum (Goji) Juice, GoChi™”, this ground-breaking study shows that GoChi can improve health and well-being in 13 key areas, through a daily serving of just 4 ounces, in as little as 14 days.
