Why Maqui is the New Acai (and 7x More Powerful)

Remember when acai burst onto the superfood scene? Now, there’s a new berry in town and it's 7 times more powerful in antioxidant capacity.

Say hello to maqui: the next-generation superfruit Canadians are falling in love with.


What’s the Difference Between Acai and Maqui?

Taste Earthy & slightly tart Sweet & berry-like
ORAC Score ~80,000 ~140,000–250,000

Why Maqui Beats Acai

  • Higher in antioxidants: Up to 9x more delphinidins, the most potent class of anthocyanins.

  • Less sugar, more versatility: Sweeter flavor means easier blending into smoothies, yogurts, and drinks.

  • Better anti-inflammatory support: Maqui is shown to reduce inflammation markers and support joint health.


Bonus: More Energy, Fewer Crashes

Try MaquiBoost — it combines pure maqui powder with natural vitamin C from acerola cherry for an antioxidant + immune system one-two punch.


If you’re already into superfoods, it’s time to upgrade your routine. Maqui isn’t just “the new acai” it’s what acai wishes it could be.
