Benefits of Maqui Berry Infused Sea Moss Gel

Maqui Berries are the small, black berries that grow on the Maqui tree, a plant species native to the rainforests of southern and central Chile. With a flavor similar to blackberries, they’re also known as the ‘Chilean wine berry’. And while their taste is a treat in itself, it’s what’s inside these health-boosting beauties that’s got everybody talking. Plant foods that are dark red, blue, purple and black in colour are almost always high in Anthocyanins.

This type of phytonutrient is packed into some of our fruit and veg staples like raspberries, blueberries and aubergines – but Maqui berries are particularly rich in them. Given that Anthocyanins have been linked to a variety of health benefits.  Maqui berries are rich in antioxidant properties, they’re reported to improve blood flow, lower blood pressure and have anti-inflammatory effects. It’s even been suggested that they may play a role in weight management, by mildly reducing fat absorption from food.
