Maqui Berry News

The petite, purple Maqui Berry has impressed nutritionists, prompted millions of dollars in scientific research, and has driven every day people like you and me to take action to improve our immune system, metabolism, burn fat, and help prevent future diseases.

The Maqui Berry is not a new fad.  For centuries it’s been a staple in the diet and medical kits of the Mapuche Amerindians, who live in the Patagonia region of Argentina and Chile.  The reason why North Americans and Europeans are taking notice now is because our lifestyles, stress levels, and environments are becoming toxic to us.  Preventable and serious diseases are more common than ever, and it turns out we didn’t have to look very far to learn how to turn it around.

In recent years the term “super berry” was coined to describe berries that possessed particular traits that promote healing and detoxifying properties for the human body.  Richly coloured blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries have long been celebrated for the positive health affects that result from the high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients that are packed into these little berries.  More recently pomegranates, goji berries, and acai berries have moved into the “super fruit” spotlight and debuted in products such as juice and supplements.  But when it comes to power, effectiveness and unprecedented health benefits, the rich, purple Maqui Berry is the No.1 Super Fruit in the world.

Of all the super fruit, Maqui berries have the highest levels of anthocyanins (among other things, it causes the rich, dark pigments of the fruit), and as such can claim to have the highest level of antioxidants.  Maqui berries have an ORAC-H (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity — a scientific measurement of antioxidant levels) value of 27,000 units, which is double that of Acai berries, triple that of Pomegranates, and five times that of Blueberries! Your body requires a minimum of 3,000-5,000 ORAC units per day from food, but the average person only consumes 1,200 units per day.  Maqui berries are not a one-trick pony, however; they also contain high levels of nutrients and minerals such as Vitamins A and C, and iron, calcium, and potassium.  Berries are also high in fiber, which is an essential factor for a healthy diet.  So, if you want to take measures to improve your health and promote weight loss, opt for foods nature intended for our bodies, such as Maqui Berries.
