Out Performing The Acai Berry With Up To Five Times The Antioxidants.
Maqui berry is a special berry, which is deep purple in color, grows in remote region of Patagonia. This region located in southern South America and it is one of the most unpolluted places on earth. Several tribal people have been using different parts (fruits, leaves, and stem) of this plant as medicine to cure various ailments. Among various parts used, the berry seems to have more antioxidant properties.
ORAC refers to a method of measuring the capacity of a food to deliver antioxidants to the body. The system is brought to us by the scientists at the National Institute on Aging (National Institutes of Health). As you may know, antioxidants reduce oxidative damage, including the damage caused by free radicals.
Basically, oxidative damage speeds up the aging process. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that attack molecules by capturing electrons and thus modifying chemical structures, such as in the case of cancer. Antioxidants can literally slow down the aging process.
You can consume maqui berry in form of juice, which is now utilized as an ingredient in various health drinks available in the market. These berries seem to have the highest level of antioxidant than fruits. The antioxidant level of this berry is more or less three times higher than the antioxidant level of acai berries. These berries are also used to make medicated wine.
The anthocyanins present in maqui berries are responsible for counteracting the enzymes that destruct connective tissue, forbidding oxidants from destroying connective tissue, and repairing the damaged proteins present in the walls of the blood vessels. They maintain salubrious blood sugar level.
Antioxidants play a significant part in the free radical theory of aging so higher amounts in our bodies can have a positive anti aging effect on us.
In North America this super berry’s power available in various vitamin like supplements, and it provides the base of a whole food liquid supplement (called AVIA) formulated by Dr. Kenneth Kroll, a Harvard M.D board certified in anti-aging. However it is used, the Maqui Berry is an amazing example of the hidden botanical treasures being discovered on our planet.
The original Maqui Berry based liquid supplment, AVIA, provides nutrients and extracts that work in synergy to stimulate the body’s own production of natural antioxidants, allowing for a higher level of effectiveness than ever seen before in a liquid health supplement, according to Brunswick Labs.

AVIA is the first of a a new generation of health supplements to be offerd by Synaura International.
