This brilliant berry has been a powerful health secret of the Mapuche Indians of Southern and Central Chile, who utilized its possible natural healing abilities and medicinal qualities in various conditions.The Mapuche Indians are known as having one of the longest life spans of any ethnic group on the planet. Many feel it is possibly due to their continuous use of the Maqui Berry. There are legendary stories of Mapuche warriors who drank a sacred Maqui beverage several times a day to give them superior strength and stamina during battles.

The Mapuche remained the only Native American tribe unconquered for over 300 years in their land, sustaining victory against anyone who challenged them. They defeated the Incas, English colonists, and Spanish conquistadors, who all believed it was due to this phenomenal Maqui drink. It was only through treaties of the 19th century that the Mapuche ultimately blended into the Spanish culture established in their homelands. The Maqui Shrub, which means “benevolence and peaceful intention,” was one of the three sacred plants of the Mapuche people adorning the ceremonial altars of their festivals. It remains a symbol of health, strength, and healing of this renowned tribe.

Once used as an indigenous remedy, today, the Maqui berry is praised as the most potent botanical antioxidant on Earth due to its vast amount of anthocyanins, polyphenols, and bioflavonoids which may protect our bodies from harmful free radicals. Plants produce anthocyanins for self-protection from the sun and other dangerous biological elements. These anthocyanins are what give the Maqui Berry its rich, deep color.

Anthocyanins have been known to possibly neutralize harmful enzymes that can destroy tissue, promoting tissue regeneration and repairing damaged proteins in the blood vessel walls. Anthocyanins may also support healthy eyesight, support healthy cardiovascular function, and blood sugar levels. Documented studies have revealed that Anthocyanins may have various benefits that may support a healthy inflammation response and thermogenic qualities, which may support healthy weight loss. Maqui berry is a natural source of vitamins A, C, calcium, iron, and potassium and may provide some of the most potent physiological effects of any individual plant compound.
