Maqui
Berry, the fruit with the highest antioxidant index [ORAC] and diverse health
benefits, has taken Asia by storm. Enquiries are growing as news of this purple
color fruit spreads rapidly throughout Asia including Malaysia, Singapore,
Philippines, Hong Kong and Thailand.
These
super berries, which have been harvested by the Mapuche Indians for thousands
of years from jungles of Patagonia region of South America, are celebrated for
its medical values.
Studies
show that its ORAC value is higher than goji berries and blueberries
respectively by 3 and 15 times. The berry with antioxidants level that is
closest to Maqui Berry is Acai Berry. The ORAC value of the latter is only one
third of the former.
The
beneficial effects of Maqui Berries on human health may be wide ranging as it
is packed with anthocyanins, polyphenols and other phytonutrients. As the most
potent fruit, naturally it is effective in preventive oxidative stress,
reducing allergic reactions, reducing oxidized LDL (bad) cholesterol,
protection against cellular, and protection against inflammation damage.
