Maqui Superberry™
The History of Maqui
Maqui berry (Aristotelia Chilensis) is a deep purple berry that thrives in the harsh climate in the Patagonia region, one of the cleanest places on this planet. Maqui berry has been traditionally consumed by the Mapuche Indians for a variety of conditions such as sore throat, diarrhea, ulcers, hemorrhoids, birth delivery, fever, tumors and other ailments. During the winter months, the Mapuche Indians consume dried maqui fruits to boost their immune system for prevention of cold and flu, and to increase body warmth.
The Mapuche Indian is the only unconquered Indian in the entire American continents. The Incas and Spaniard tried for many centuries without success. According to a Spanish document recorded in the 18th centuries, the Mapuche warrior drank a fermented beverage made from maqui berry call “Chicha” several times daily, which may have contributed to the extraordinary strength and stamina that the warriors exhibited.
