Resumen

El Lycium barbarum (Goji Bery) es una planta perteneciente a la familia Solanaceae, se utiliza como alimento funcional en diversos países de Asia Oriental, Europa y América del Norte, es altamente nutritivo, con ocho aminoácidos esenciales, minerales, como hierro, cinc y selenio y la acción antioxidante. El objetivo del artículo es investigar las posibles propiedades nutricionales del Goji Berry y sus beneficios a la salud humana. Se trata de una revisión integrativa, tras el levantamiento de los artículos siguiendo los criterios de inclusión preestablecidos, se obtuvieron un total de 13 estudios publicados en los últimos diez años. La gran mayoría (78%) de los estudios experimentales demuestran efectos positivos para el uso del Goji berry. Sin embargo, los efectos adversos existen y dependiendo del uso, puede considerarse un riesgo para la salud pública, por lo que debe tenerse precaución y orientación profesional en cuanto al consumo seguro de ese alimento, a fin de evitar efectos adversos, toxicidad, alergias y consecuencias su consumo en demasiado, principalmente en mujeres embarazadas, ancianos y niños.
