USANA Essential Tips

Let’s put the Acai Berry and Maqui Berry in a fair comparison.

1. Origin

Acai Berries – native to the Amazon jungle and and on tropical forests of South and Central America.

Maqui Berries – native to the relatively Patagonia Region of Chile and in Argentina.

2. Appearance

Acai – these berries measure roughly 25 mm in diameter and deep blue in color.

Maqui – these tiny berries measure roughly 4-6 mm in diameter and deep, rich purple in color.

3. Health claims

Both of the Acai and Maqui berries have properties that can deliver health benefits including,  weight loss,  detoxifying/ cleansing, anti-aging, relief for fever, sore throat, diarrhea, child birth, chronic diseases, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, improved immunity, improved sleep, energy, and stamina.

4. Acai vs Maqui Products

Acai – the market is flooded with Acai products such as pulp, juice concentrate, sports drinks, powders, and capsules. Acai berries are much larger compared to those of the Maqui, and therefore the product is more readily available as well as for mass production.

Maqui – will be marketed to consumers in much the same way Acai is, where its reputation and scientific endorsements remain untouched by the rip-offs and scams that have plagued Acai berry products.

5. Maqui Berry is clearly healthier than Acai Berry

The answer is in the science. Measuring Maqui Berry’s powerful anti-oxidant health benefits compared to the Acai’s, Maqui wins hands-down for the title, and the scientific community’s support, being as the healthiest and No.1 Superfruit in the world.
