Discover Youth and Health Through The Maqui Berry.

Packed with more antioxidants than acai, mangosteen, goji, noni or even chocolate, Maqui (Aristotelia Chilensisa), is the ultimate super berry. In fact, according to independent studies (Brunswich labs), this tasty little berry boasts the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value of any botanical.

The maqui berry is found in Patagonia in South America, in particular central to southern Chile. They have been used extensively for centuries by the native Mapuche Indians. The Mapuche Indians found the health benefits of the maqui berry helped them to maintain their good health and somewhat slowed down the aging process.

Acai berries have amazing health giving properties because they are full of anthocyanins and antioxidants that benefit the consumer in many ways. However the health benefits of the maqui berry outweigh those offered by the acai berry because they contain far more antioxidants and similar amounts of anthocyanins.

The Maqui Berry has the highest antioxidant level of not only all berries, but all botanicals (Brunswick laboratories). This deep purple colored berry grows in the remote forests of Patagonia, the South American region that extends to the southern most tip of the continent through Chile and Argentina.

Maqui berries have double the ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods, as acai berries and 3 to 4 times the amount as pomegranates and blueberries.

Antioxidants play a significant part in the free radical theory of aging so higher amounts in our bodies can have a positive anti aging effect on us.

In North America this super berry's power available in various vitamin like supplements, and it provides the base of a whole food liquid supplement (called AVIA) formulated by Dr. Kenneth Kroll, a Harvard M.D board certified in anti-aging. However it is used, the Maqui Berry is an amazing example of the hidden botanical treasures being discovered on our planet.

By considering the weight-loss properties of these dietary supplements, soon these supplements will become the superior weight-loss dietary supplement in the world. Mapuche Indians have used the maqui berry as a traditional food; however, it has aroused as one of the best super-foods in Western market.
