After FOX News Channel medical contributor Dr. Manny Alvarez highlighted the remarkable healing benefits of Maqui Berry—12.6 times more powerful than Acai Berry—sales of Maqui Berry have skyrocketed, making it now one of the most popular weight-loss products in America today. Internet searches reveal countless blog postings and Facebook messages, singing the praises of this new weight-loss wonder fruit.
Study Shows
"Signficant Potency"
Against Fat Cells
Clinical research shows
Maqui Berry is known to have highest levels of a powerful fat-burning nutrient called
anthocyanins of any food on earth. In fact, it contains over
10 times
more anthocyanins than any other food
source.
Studies
show anthocyanins have remarkable weight loss and fat-burning properties. A new study from Japan
shows anthocyanins have "significant potency" against fat
cells and strong "anti-obesity" benefits.

What Is Maqui
Berry, and How Does It Work?
Despite the recent frenzy surrounding
Maqui Berry, for centuries the fruit has actually been used as a
health and healing aid in a region called Patagonia
— the southernmost part of South
America.
Here lived a group of
natives with an amazing history – the Mapuche Indians. For hundreds of years, this tribal group had never been
conquered by any of their adversaries.
The Mapuches even resisted
conquest by the Spaniards who settled in Chile and Argentina for over 300
years.
How were the Mapuches able
to resist conquest over such a long time and against such seemingly great
odds? Simply put, they were leaner, stronger, more energeitic, and
healthier than their adversaries. And this appears to be due to their use
of Maqui berries as food, beverage, and medicine.
Experts Offer High Praise for Maqui's Slimming
Promise
According to Chris Kilham,
a professor of ethnobotany at the University of Massachusetts Amherst,
Maqui berry may aid fat loss by helping support optimal blood glucose
levels.
"Interestingly, intake of maqui berries or their
juice causes a significant increase of insulin in the body, says
Kilham. "In fact, Maqui appears to do this better than any other known
plant. What does this mean? Consuming maqui berries or their juice
with or after meals can help to
suppress blood glucose, thereby evening out energy and preventing the
formation of new fat cells. As a result, maqui may prove to be a
beneficial aid in weight control."
Beyond its promise as a weight-loss aid, Professor Kilham says Maqui also demonstrates a number of other health benefits. "The antioxidant compounds in maqui berry help to prevent the oxidation of cholesterol in the blood," says Kilham. "Oxidation of cholesterol is a factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack, stroke and hardening of the arteries. Regular daily intake of maqui berries or the berry juice is a smart investment in better cardiovascular health."
