The Battle of the Super Berries: Maqui or Acai

 

The epic challenge posed by two relatively new berries presenting themselves on the market is a serious one. On one side is the reigning title holder, the Acai berry, which burst into the international scene via the endorsement of no less an exalted personage as talk show queen Oprah Winfrey. The challenger is the newcomer the Maqui berry. How do they compare in qualities and essential characteristics?
    Both were virtually unknown by the free world 10 years ago. The Acai is native to the Brazilian forests and lands. Consumed for centuries by the indigenous people, Acai goods now proliferate in many societies due to its vaunted health and medicinal properties.   
    The Maqui berry originated in the hinterlands of Chile. Discovered by the West later than the Acai, it has a lesser following. The Maqui can be called an infant in terms of its experimental development and marketing. This is what has made it come second in popularity to the Acai.
In quality, the Maqui berry far outdoes the Acai. This fruit carries the topmost values of antioxidants.  It exceeds the Acai rating by more than three times its value per gram helping. Packed with inordinate amounts of anthocyanins and phenols, the Maqui has the capacity to shield the body from external enemies.  Research has positively indicated the results anthocyanins have on cell repair and rejuvenation, cardiovascular health, blood cleansing and connective tissue care. It guards against damage from dangerous oxidation processes. It maintains skin elasticity, sugar level balance and general well-being.
    Both the Maqui and the Acai have the capability to stimulate the detox process and produce weight loss results. Intake of the two berries have demonstrated brilliant subsequent outcomes when ingested as part of a detox and weight loss diet. But because the Maqui has greater antioxidant capacities, empirical studies seem to indicate it has a more sustained effect on weight loss and detox. A body shielded by Maqui undergoes a deeper purification and purging, leading to increased health benefits. Toxic substances are eradicated naturally and speedily. Metabolic rates shoot up. The body runs and burns more efficiently.
    If you are a skeptic and unbeliever, read the research literature for yourself. Peruse the statistics and numbers. Search the internet for legitimate information. You will find the evidence astonishing. In the end, this battle will be decided on actual facts and figures.
