中國傳統醫學及本草文獻記載：枸杞具有滋陰補腎、清熱解毒、養肝、明目、久服抗衰延年等功效，並經臨床經驗予以證實。枸杞的果實、莖、葉對人體癌細胞的生長，有顯著的抑制作用。枸杞子中含有礦物質微量元素「鍺」／124ppm，鍺是一種抗癌分子。根據生物醫學分析：人體有一種干擾素，可以抑制癌細胞的生長，並使其死亡。而鍺進入人體內，可誘發體內干擾素的產生，因而增加了干擾素對癌細胞的抑制和清除的作用。
豆漿是將大豆浸泡磨成後做成的飲料，所以豆漿中營養物質來源於大豆，大豆營養是非常豐富的，營養學家發現豆漿中含有大豆蛋白質、豐富的不飽和脂肪酸、大豆卵磷脂(soy lecithin)、大豆異黃酮(soy isoflavones)、大豆皂素(soy saponins)、大豆纖維(soy fiber)、維生素和礦物質，鐵、鈣等物質。近年來學者研究豆漿對人體的影響包括血脂肪的調節、增加骨質密度、改善停經後婦女的更年期症狀及減低癌症的發生率，例如乳癌、前列腺癌等等。現代科學更證明，豆漿不僅含有容易消化的優質植物性蛋白質，而且還含有許多有益於人體健康作用的物質被稱為「綠色牛奶」，歐洲稱它為「植物性牛奶」。
