Maqui Berry Extract (Aristotelia chilensis)(std. to 35% Anthocyanins and 25% Delphinidins)

Maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis) is a vibrant purple fruit native to the Patagonian region of Chile and Argentina, traditionally revered by the Mapuche people for its medicinal properties and nutritional value. This small, dark berry is a powerhouse of beneficial phytochemicals, particularly recognized for its exceptional antioxidant capacity. Our Maqui Berry Extract is meticulously sourced and standardized to contain a potent 35% total anthocyanins and a significant 25% delphinidins, key bioactive compounds responsible for its profound health-promoting effects. The extraction process ensures a concentrated form of these valuable constituents, making it an ideal ingredient for premium supplement formulations. Its deep purple hue is indicative of the rich anthocyanin content, signaling its potent phytonutrient profile. The traditional consumption of maqui berries highlights its long-standing use in supporting vitality and overall well-being in indigenous cultures.

The health benefits of Maqui Berry Extract are primarily attributed to its high concentration of delphinidins, a specific type of anthocyanin. Delphinidins exhibit remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which are crucial for mitigating oxidative stress and supporting cellular health. Scientific studies suggest that these compounds may help to neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting cells from damage. Research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has highlighted maqui berry's superior oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) compared to many other superfruits. Furthermore, delphinidins have been investigated for their potential role in modulating metabolic pathways, including glucose metabolism and lipid profiles. Emerging evidence suggests a potential for supporting cardiovascular health by improving endothelial function and reducing systemic inflammation, contributing to overall circulatory well-being. Its comprehensive phytonutrient profile works synergistically to deliver these diverse health advantages.

Maqui Berry Extract, standardized to 35% anthocyanins and 25% delphinidins, is a versatile ingredient suitable for a wide range of supplement applications, including capsules, powders, functional foods, and beverages. Its potent antioxidant properties make it an excellent choice for anti-aging formulations, immune support products, and cardiovascular health supplements. Quality considerations are paramount; our extract undergoes rigorous testing for purity, potency, and absence of contaminants, ensuring a premium-grade ingredient. Clinical research, such as a study in Lipids in Health and Disease, has explored the benefits of maqui berry extract in supporting healthy blood sugar levels, further validating its potential applications. The consistent standardization ensures reliable dosing and predictable efficacy, making it a valuable addition for formulators seeking evidence-backed natural ingredients. Its stability and solubility also make it highly adaptable for various product matrices, providing both functional benefits and appealing natural color.
