Black wolfberry is a plant of the same family, genus, and different species as red wolfberry. Most of the ingredients of the two are similar, but black wolfberry is not used for medicinal purposes, so red wolfberry is better for medicinal purposes.
Lycium barbarum has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years. It is a variety that has the same origin as medicine and food, that is, it can be used as medicine and as food.
The fruit colors of black wolfberry and red wolfberry are different, mainly because black wolfberry contains more anthocyanins . At the same time, black wolfberry should not be eaten with greasy food.

The most suitable people to eat wolfberry are those with weak constitution and poor resistance. Moreover, they must persist for a long time and eat a little every day to achieve the effect.
