Antioxidant powder in handy little packets!
I had never heard of the maqui berry, but after a little bit of research, it does appear to be more of a superfruit than goji or acai berries! As the package claims, it contains a high concentration of potent antioxidants. Several studies (including test tube studies and clinical studies) show that maqui berry (or extract thereof) may reduce inflammation, reduce LDL cholesterol levels, and improve blood sugar. I am a competitive triathlete, and during the racing season, I try to increase my intake of antioxidant-rich foods to help offset any free radicals that may be released during intense exercise. I don't use these packets every day--more like 2 times a week or so. As the packaging suggests, the maqui powder in these packets is best when mixed with yogurt or a smoothie. It has very little flavor itself (although it does have a beautiful purple color) . I like that the powder comes in these handy packets. I can easily put them in a pocket or purse or gym bag. As for price, these maqui powder packets cost about $1.40 each, which I feel is reasonable.
