More and more scientific studies are confirming that diet plays a key role in health and longevity, and berries are an inexhaustible source of benefits.

Fruits such as maqui, blueberry and elderberry are high in polyphenols and anthocyanins, compounds that fight oxidative stress and help prevent cellular ageing. Research, such as that published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, has shown that regular consumption of flavonoid-rich foods, such as berries, is associated with increased longevity and reduced risk of chronic disease.

Unlike other antioxidants, those found in Patagonian berries have been the subject of research showing their beneficial effects on metabolic health, blood sugar regulation and improved gut microbiota. A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry highlighted that maqui has one of the highest antioxidant capacities of any fruit tested, making it a key superfood for preventing premature ageing.

Adding superberries to your product portfolio is an excellent opportunity to innovate in the functional food market. Whether in dietary supplements, beverages or nutraceutical formulations, these little fruits can make a difference in offering healthy, science-based products.
