What is a Maqui Berry?
Wild Maqui Berry has been developed to offer the medicinal properties of the small berries of this evergreen shrub. Its scientific name is Aristolochia chilensis, but it is more commonly known as maqui.
Indigenous to South America, this shrub has been used for many centuries in traditional Chilean and Peruvian medicine, where its leaves and berries are used for treating a wide range of illnesses. The therapeutic virtues of maqui berries are due to their antioxidant potency.
Maqui berries are recognized for their antioxidant properties, and with good cause, since they have one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values. With a value higher than that of goji or acai berries, maqui berries are particularly effective at eliminating free radicals, the highly reactive elements that cause considerable damage in the body.

Alongside their high antioxidant content, maqui fruit also boast a nutrient-rich composition, including several vitamins and minerals, hence their reputation as super berries, superfruits, or indeed superfoods. Maqui berries' antioxidant potency gives them many medicinal virtues.
