JustMaqui®

Overview

Justmaqui® is a concentrated juice powder obtained from maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis). It is standardized to contain at least 1.4% delphinidins and at least 2.0% total anthocyanins.

Maqui berry is a native berry that grows in Chile and has been consumed since ancient times. It is extraordinarily rich in many nutrients and in powerful flavonoids known as anthocyanins. A subgroup of these flavonoids, known as delphinidins, is responsible for the berry’s very dark purple color and for some of its reported health effects.

Native to southern Chile, maqui berries have been used for centuries by the indigenous Mapuche people.
