Why Our Family Drinks NingXia Red Every Day (And Think You’ll Love It Too!)

Christopher Opfer • April 29, 2025

Let’s talk about one of the tastiest and most powerful daily wellness habits in our home: drinking NingXia Red®. If you’re part of the Young Living community, chances are you’ve heard the hype—and let us tell you, it’s 100% real.

We call it our “liquid gold” (or “liquid multivitamin” if we’re being practical), and it’s something our whole family enjoys every single day—yes, even our boys, Oliver and Owen, who happily drink their shot of NingXia with breakfast like champs. In fact, if Ashley or I forget one morning, our boys are happy to remind us!

 

So, What Is NingXia Red?


NingXia Red is a delicious, antioxidant-rich drink made from the wolfberry (also called the goji berry), sourced from our Young Living farm in the Ningxia region of China—an area known for its super-fruit longevity and wellness traditions.


This powerhouse blend also includes plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices, along with a dash of Lemon, Orange, Yuzu, and Tangerine essential oils to make it both nutritious and delicious.


What Does It Do for Your Body?

You mean besides make you feel like a superhero in juice form?


Here’s what NingXia Red supports when you drink it daily:

  • Immune Support: Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C.
  • Energy & Focus: Provides steady, natural energy without the jitters.
  • Cardiovascular Health: Supports healthy blood sugar levels and circulation.
  • Skin & Hair: Fights oxidative stress for healthier skin and hair.
  • Overall Wellness: Acts like a liquid multivitamin loaded with nutrients and amino acids.


Oliver & Owen’s Favorite Part of Breakfast


Every morning, Oliver and Owen line up at the fridge like it’s their favorite juice bar. They each get their own NingXia shot glass and take it down with breakfast.


They love the taste (no added sugar or artificial junk), and we love knowing they’re starting their day with a nutrient-dense drink that supports their immune systems, brain, and growing bodies.


Why Ashley and I Love It Too


As parents, we’re constantly juggling schedules, work, school, and everything in between. NingXia Red is one of those simple daily wins that makes us feel like we’re taking care of ourselves and our kids in one easy shot.


We like to mix it up:

  • Add it to smoothies
  • Sip it with ice and a drop of Lime Vitality
  • Mix with Mineral Essence or Sulfurzyme® powder for an extra wellness punch


Honestly, it feels like a reset button in a bottle.


How Much Should You Drink?


Young Living recommends 1–2 ounces per day. That’s it! Some people take more when they’re feeling under the weather, want an energy boost in the afternoon, or as part of a reset / cleanse.


You can pour it in a little shot glass or fancy it up in a mocktail—the choice is yours.


Final Thoughts: One Little Red Drink, Big Family Benefits


NingXia Red is more than just a wellness product—it’s part of our family’s rhythm. It’s how we show up for our health each day, from our kids to us parents, in a way that’s easy, consistent, and yes—super tasty.


So if you haven’t added NingXia Red to your routine yet, this is your sign. Give your body a daily dose of goodness—it deserves it.


To happy mornings, strong immune systems, and that sweet red energy,
