SUMMARY Dereza fruits (Goji Berries) have a long tradition of medicinal and nutritional use in East Asian countries. In this work, an
attempt is made to objectify the data of traditional oriental medicine on the medicinal properties of wolfberry fruits from the
standpoint of modern scientific concepts (based on the results of phytochemical, toxicological, pharmacological and clinical
studies published in the open press). An analysis of the results of phytochemical studies made it possible to establish that the
main groups of biologically active substances responsible for the pharmacotherapeutic effect can be considered
polysaccharides, carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins.
