Maqui berries contain astonishing levels of antioxidants, including anthocyanins, delphinidin, malvidin, petunidin, cumarins, triterpenes, flavonoids, and cyanidin. They are also a good source of vitamin C, calcium, potassium, and iron. Maqui berries have traditionally been used to promote strength, endurance, and overall health. The antioxidants in Maqui berries aid normal function of the body's cells, and may help maintain healthy levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.

The Maqui berry is a treasure from the mighty Mapuche Indians of South America, the only indigenous people in the Americas who have never been conquered by an invading force. The Mapuche have used the Maqui berry for both food and medicine for centuries to give strength and stamina and to treat health complaints.Invading Europeans reported that the Mapuche drank heavily of a berry tea. The Maqui berry tea drinking Mapuchessuccessfully resisted many attacking armies, including the Spanish conquistadors, the Mayans and the Incans!

Whether the astounding strength and stamina of the Mapuche Indians can be attributed to Maqui or not, who can say? But what we do know is that Maqui has been proven to have a remarkable amount of antioxidants and may be very helpful to the body in a number of ways.
