Native to South America, our Organic Maqui Berry Powder is considered the highest antioxidant wholefood on the planet with an ORAC value of 319,265 per 100g. That is three times higher than Brazilian Acai.

The freeze-drying process retains maximum nutrients meaning that it is a true wholefood supplement. With the highest antioxidant quantity of any fruit, Maqui is reported to stimulate weight loss, delays the ageing process and detoxifies and cleanses the body.

The intense red colour of the aqueous extract of its fruit is due to the presence of anthocyanin pigments causing it to be used as a natural dye. The leaves and fruits are astringent and have been used in Chilean folk medicine as anti-diarrhoeic, anti-inflammatory, anti-haemorrhagic and febrifuge.

The Mapuche Indian tribe is the only tribe in the Americas (northern and southern continents) that were not conquered by any European Countries. According to the Conquistadors, the Mapuche warriors ate very little solid food and drank a fermented beverage made from Maqui Berries several times a day, which may have contributed to the extraordinary strength and stamina that the warriors exhibited.

Organic Maqui Berry is ideal to consume any time but pre and post workout would be perfect to help neutralise free radical activity.
