Maqui Versus Acai Berry

"Pound-per-pound the antioxidant capabilities of the Maqui far outweighs the Acai"

Our vast planet is home to a colorful and wide array of flora and fauna. Some of these are commonly known. The others are of a yet undiscovered genus. Luckily, scientists have stumbled on stunning finds that have been known and utilized by indigenous people for centuries. Today, there is growing recognition in the West of the curative and restorative powers of these exotic species.

Two of the most promising super fruits that have emerged are the Maqui berry and the Acai berry. In classification, these edibles belong to the berry family but are not typical table fare as say the blackberry, the raspberry, the strawberry, the cranberry or the blueberry. So in pitting the Maqui versus the Acai: who wins?

Pound-per-pound the antioxidant capabilities of the Maqui far outweighs the Acai. Using the Orac ratings, which test the antioxidant powers of foods, it has been shown that the frozen pulp Maqui has a 27,600 value per 100 gram serving. The 16,700 per 100 gram serving of the Acai falls far below the Maqui berry mark.

To expound on the crucial nature of antioxidants to the body’s functioning, visualize these scenarios. Imagine a simple paper napkin. Throw this in with stagnant, black water and it will almost instantly absorb the grime. Put it in a container of red food coloring and it will turn red, attaining the characteristics of its surroundings. Use it to wipe away an unclean surface and the dirt will be transferred to it. In effect, the paper napkin is like our physiological systems. External factors and matter consumed by us can cause dangerous free radicals to enter and build up in our bodies. Medical and health problems can arise from a failure to detox the system of these destructive molecules. The Maqui berry’s superior force can rid the body of this waste.

The Maqui’s powerful antioxidant capabilities roots out, sweeps, destroys and removes injurious foreign matter that circulates. The effect is a natural, spontaneous regeneration of energy. Studies on the Maqui berry have demonstrated its ability to fix the ravages caused by aging, decrease inflammation, trigger cancer cell destruction and positively affect many small and large ailments. Added value of the Maqui comes in the form of weight loss that occurs naturally, as the body undergoes rejuvenation and purification from destructive free radicals. In the final analysis, the Maqui berry wins the battle against the Acai due to its sky-high antioxidant abilities.
