It’s considered a “ functional food” because it’s especially high in protective compounds like anthocyanins like delphinidin, flavonoids and ellagic acid, the same types that are found in other superfoods such as blueberries, red wine, pomegranate, currants and cherries. What is maqui berry good for? This berry offers widespread benefits for different parts do the body, including the immune, cardiovascular and central nervous systems, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the fresh berries are not available in most parts of the world because they are hard to transport, so most people choose to consume MB as a dietary supplement. While it’s most convenient to consume maqui berry (MB) in powder or capsule form, you can also drink its juice and eat the whole berries. These berries grow on a small, evergreen tree in the Elaeocarpaceae family that is also called Chilean wineberry. Maqui berry ( Aristotelia chilensis) is a type of nutrient-rich berry native to Southern Chile that is now made into dried powder and other supplements. Today we know that maqui berry benefits - such as supporting healthy skin, eyes, and a well-functioning brain and heart - are due to its rich supply of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, especially polyphenols. ![]() ![]() These berries have been used by Mapuche Indians living in Chile for centuries as a traditional medicine against conditions including fever, joint pain, throat diseases, slow healing wounds and diarrhea. One example is maqui berry, a dark purple-black berry that has many things in common with other “ superfood” berries like acai berry. Good news is high dose antioxidants really can't hurt anything.South America, including places like Chile, Argentina and Patagonia, is home to a variety of berry species that are packed with nutrients. I told my ob about it and she's going to tell her patients to start it. Dr Schoolcraft at ccrm said he has seen women have 'freakish' ivf results from the acai. Whatever happens though, it's good news I can actually get pregnant and my husband is convinced the acai is what did it. I am having horrible morning sickness which is reassuring, but I don't think I'll ever relax. I'm still only 10wks along and still very nervous but so far everything with this pregnancy has been perfect. I even had a retrieval done last October when my son was just 4 months old which resulted in 2 blasts tested, they came back with multiple abnormalities. My Amh has been the same at 3.2, tested at age 36 and 38. I had high FSH - 12 then 8, recently 14 and 11. ![]() I always needed the highest doses of meds, I got a lot of eggs in my retrievals (around 17-18) but they were mostly crappy quality. My infertility has been unexplained but possible egg quality issues. 13 blasts tested with 4 PGS normal and only 1 of those stuck. I have a one year old son, but it took 4 retrievals and 5 transfers at age 36. However, my next cycle got cancelled too because I ended up conceiving naturally for the first time in my life at age 38! I was supposed to take the acai for at least 8 weeks prior to my ivf cycle, but my 1st cycle got cancelled since I got shingles so I was able to take for another 4 weeks. I was also taking coq10 and dhea on my own. It was labeled 'ovahealth.' They also told me to eat organic fruits and veggies and cut out soy and limit caffeine. Hi! I was part of the acai supplement study with CCRM, I can't remember exact dosage but it was 3 pills a day spread out over the day.
