By now, most of us have heard of the acai berry and its extraordinary antioxidant properties. Well, there is a new berry in town! Actually, the maqui berry is not “new,” it has been found in the fertile Patagonia region (in Argentina and Chile) for thousands of years. But the dark-purple maqui berry is reported to have an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) 4-10 times higher than that of the acai berry.
Both acai and maqui berries include phytochemicals, chemicals produced by the plant to protect itself from infection. These phytochemicals are rich in antioxidants that promote cardiovascular health and immune system functioning. Antioxidants also help protect your body against free radicals (unstable molecules) that are created during normal cell function.
Maqui Superberry Juice has the highest ORAC value, anthocyanins and polyphenols compared to any known berries. Novelle, the Maqui Superberry™ producer, uses only the highest quality natural ingredients, harvested by the Mapuche Indians. So move over acai …the maqui berry is the clear winner!
