Maqui Berry

Scientific Name: Aristotelia chilensis

Maqui Berry is rich in antioxidants and promotes mitochondrial health. It is widely used for its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.

🔬 Phytochemical Composition

Maqui berries contain high levels of anthocyanins, particularly delphinidin-based anthocyanins, which provide strong antioxidant properties. They also contain polyphenols such as quercetin, myricetin, and catechins, which contribute to their anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects.
