The Acai berry has been the number one health super food on the market for some time now. Its spot at the top, however, is now being challenged with the emergence of the powerful newcomer, Maqui berry. So, which of these two super foods is really the best? Below we take a look at the characteristics of the two berry types and compare their benefits.
The Maqui berry and the Acai berry are both wine colored fruits indigenous to South America. The Acai berry is found in the Brazilian Amazon forest, while the Maqui Berry is found in the Petagonia Region of Chile. Both have been staples in the diets of the indigenous groups that inhabit the regions as they are said to encourage good health. Both the Maqui berry and the Acai berry have the ability to stimulate a body detox and help produce weight loss results with lots of antioxidants. Both of these super fruits are highly perishable and as such are most often found in supplement, juice or pulp form. This is where their similarities end.
What separates the Maqui berry from the Acai berry is its overall effectiveness. The Maqui berry is far more potent than the Acai, with 2-3 times more antioxidants per gram of pulp. This translates into a more thorough detox, increased weight loss, and a better immune system response to stave off illness.
As well as the highest levels of antioxidants, the Maqui Berry also contains essential minerals including calcium, iron, potassium, omega 6 oils, and vitamins A and C. This is a far more complete list of added nutrients than those found in the Acai. The Acai, while still far better than most other supplements on the market boasts nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E, and omega 3 oils. The high levels of omega 6 oils are what really give the Maqui the clear advantage in this category as they play a pivotal role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.
Perhaps best of all is that the Maqui berry is still in its infancy. Unlike the Acai berry that has been around for years and has saturated the market, the Maqui berry has just been discovered and shows so much more potential. Already the clear winner of the two super foods the Maqui berry can only get better and we expect that it will. The health possibilities are endless.
