Maqui Berry Review

I recently sampled some Maqui berry products from the company Novelle. Maqui berries grow in rainforest regions of Chile and Argentina and are harvested by native Mapuche indian families. The dark purple Maqui berry is also referred to as the Chilean Wineberry. I was happy to try out some of Novelle’s Maqui products because they are very potent sources of anthocyanins and polyphenols (disease-fighting, anti-aging antioxidants).

Novelle sent me their Maqui Superberry™ liquid concentrate, veggie supplement capsules, and powder drink mix. I’ve been taking the supplement capsules every day with my multivitamins and fish oil. So far, I like them and didn’t experience any side effects (my stomach can be very sensitive with vitamins and supplements). I used the liquid concentrate and powder drink mix in some homemade smoothies. I just mix frozen fruit and yogurt or soy milk with the Maqui berry stuff and it’s a quick breakfast for me to take on-the-go. The liquid concentrate is tart but also tasty. The flavor is similar to real pomegranate juice. If I didn’t have time to make a smoothie I bet it would taste good mixed in some other juice (like fresh OJ).

I really liked the Novelle products and I think they’d make a great health-conscious gift during the holidays. Here’s a few other notes about the Maqui Superberry™ products:

• Novelle’s products are 100% vegetarian
• You can purchase the Maqui products at Vitamin Shoppe
• Sustainably harvested and a portion of the proceeds are given back to the Mapuche community’s (for health care, education, and prevention of deforestation/industrialization)

I want to thank Novelle for sending me the product samples. I really enjoyed them! Happy Holidays Everyone!
