Synopsis of Maqui
History
Maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) is a deep-purple berry native to the temperate rainforests of southern Chile and Argentina. For centuries, the indigenous Mapuche people have revered maqui for its potent medicinal properties. Traditionally, they consumed the fresh berries and prepared infusions, tinctures, and poultices to address a wide range of ailments. Most notably, maqui was used to promote strength and endurance, treat sore throats, alleviate fever, and support wound healing. Its leaves and bark were also incorporated in remedies for digestive issues and inflammations.
The remarkable health benefits of maqui are largely attributed to its exceptionally high concentration of anthocyanins and polyphenols, compounds known for their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Historically, Mapuche healers would blend maqui with other native botanicals such as boldo, matico, and canelo to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of their remedies. These herbal combinations were believed to provide synergistic support for immune health, detoxification, and resilience against infections.
Today, maqui continues to be highly valued in nutritional products and herbal blends. Its inclusion in modern supplements and functional foods is credited with supporting cardiovascular health, healthy aging, and balanced blood sugar levels. When combined with other superfruits or adaptogenic herbs, maqui's broad spectrum of antioxidants helps to amplify the overall health benefits of these formulations. In summary, the historical and ongoing use of maqui in both solo and blended remedies is a testament to its significant contributions to natural wellness and vitality.
Traditional and scientific validation
Maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) is a deep purple berry native to the temperate rainforests of southern Chile and Argentina, long valued in traditional Mapuche culture for its purported health benefits. Historically, indigenous peoples consumed maqui berries for their energy-boosting and healing properties, often using them as part of their daily diet or in medicinal preparations. In recent years, maqui has gained attention in the global nutritional products industry, primarily due to its exceptionally high content of anthocyanins and polyphenols—potent antioxidants believed to support overall health.
Scientific studies have begun to explore maqui's potential health benefits. Laboratory and animal research suggest that maqui berry extracts may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, key factors in chronic diseases. A handful of small clinical trials indicate that maqui supplementation may support healthy blood glucose levels and improve markers of eye health, such as tear production in people with dry eye syndrome. For example, a randomized controlled trial published in "Panminerva Medica" (2018) reported improvements in tear fluid production after daily maqui extract supplementation. Additionally, in vitro studies have highlighted the berry's antioxidant capacity, which may contribute to cellular protection.
While these findings are promising, it is important to note that large-scale, long-term human studies are still limited. More research is needed to confirm maqui’s health benefits and clarify optimal dosages for supplementation. Nonetheless, the historical use and growing body of scientific evidence support maqui’s inclusion in nutritional products as a valuable source of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals.
