Bayas del Sur, a leading company in the production of healthy and functional ingredients, makes a difference with its offer of products based on Maqui Berry, a superfood native to southern Chile, widely studied in the country and abroad for its multiple health benefits. This fruit, rich in anthocyanins, has proven to be highly beneficial for the protection of eye health, especially against the harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital screens.

A recent study published by researchers at the University of Gifu, Japan, highlights that anthocyanins present in the Maqui Berry can reduce cell damage caused by exposure to blue light in retinal cells. This finding would then reinforce the importance of consuming foods rich in antioxidants such as the Maqui Berry, known for its protective properties and its ability to combat oxidative stress, one of the main factors in ocular degeneration.

Bayas del Sur offers Maqui Berry-based products in various formats, such as freeze-dried powder, juice concentrate and juice powder, allowing consumers to benefit from these antioxidant properties in their daily lives. These formats are versatile and can be used in a wide variety of preparations, from smoothies and desserts to nutraceutical products.

Raúl Bacciarini, General Manager of Bayas del Sur, commented that “scientific research is one of our allies when it comes to showcasing the benefits of our products. Our team is committed to bringing to the market healthy products that support a sustainable and healthy lifestyle, so we are interested in disseminating this type of research.
