Species: Aristotelia Chilensis (Molina) Stuntz

Family: Elaeocarpaceae

Growing Region: Patagonia - Chile

Plant Characteristics: MAQUI grows wild on a short tree between 4-5 m tall. One tree may contain several hundred berries that are individually hand-picked. Smaller than a blueberry (4-6 mm in diameter) MAQUI is mostly comprised of 4-8 angular seeds.

MAQUI (pronounced mock-ee) studies have found them to be the best berry in the world.

Yields Higher ORAC value than any other berry discovered in the world - contains an extra molecule of oxygen.

High in both anthocyanins and polyphenols

Antioxidant levels 4 times higher than Acai Berry (reported by BRUNSWICK Labs): twice the strength while using half the product.

Beneficial for Weight Loss - Human Studies has shown it to be one of the MOST SUCCESSFUL weight loss supplements.

NO Side Effects Found, 100% Natural - grown naturally and sustainably without chemicals.

Demonstrates exceptional antioxidant performance against each of the 5 radicals

Delivers especially powerful protection against:

• Hydroxyl - the most volatile and reactive of radicals, it can cause the broadest damage and cannot be defended against by endogenous antioxidants
• Superoxide anion - known as "the mother of radicals" because it is the precursor to other radicals such as hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl

Outperforms Acai powder against each radical

Outperforms antioxidant standards vitamins C and E in 3 of 5 radicals

Outperforms cocoa powder in 3 of 5 radicals

Maqui Berry can be specially formulated to provide a number of important health benefits.

MAQUI and Total ORAC - How does Maqui Berry stack up?

• MAQUI powder delivers a Total ORAC value of over 6,100 per gram - but what does this really tell us about its antioxidant credentials? More than you think... EXTROADINARILY POWERFUL.
• MAQUI demonstrates exceptional broad-spectrum antioxidant performance using Total ORAC: the next-generation antioxidant testing method from Brunswick Labs.

Total ORAC is an important advancement in antioxidant analysis:

• The most comprehensive, broad-spectrum antioxidant method available
• Brings a whole new level of understanding to the radical protective properties of products

Total ORAC does not just measure against Peroxyl, it measures broad-spectrum performance against the known top 5 radicals:

• ORAC - Peroxyl
• HORAC - Hydroxyl
• NORAC - Peroxynitrite
• SOAC - Singlet oxygen
• SORAC - Superoxide anion

Understanding Antioxidant performance against individual radicals is important:

• These radicals are formed, behave, and are defended against differently
• They all contribute to ´oxidative stress´ or cellular damage and broad human health concerns caused by inflammation, DNA and protein damage.
• They are each implicated in serious health problems like cardiovascular disease

Total ORAC provides valuable measurement of a product´s broad-spectrum antioxidant capacity:

• No one radical is ´more important´ than another
• Every product has a unique ´fingerprint´ against each radical
• Each product´s fingerprints compare to other product´s results for the same radicals

• Combats free radicals and before harming human health
• Helps control inflammation and overall joint pain
• Reduces LDL levels (bad cholesterol)
• Supports low blood pressure
• Aids in cancer prevention
• Aids in maintaining eye health
• Reduces allergic reactions
• Helps prevent micro vascular damage caused by diabetes and high blood sugar
• Prevents diabetes induced retinopathy (blindness)
• Reduces micro vascular problems that lead to heart attack and strokes
• Neutralises certain enzymes that cause inflammation and pain.
• In one study, MAQUI reduced the expression of the COX-2 enzyme, which is one of the main enzymes that causes pain and connective tissue issues
• Increases strength and stamina
• Treats ailments such as sore throat, diarrhoea, ulcers and fever; also detoxifies the digestive system
