Compare: Acai vs. Maqui
ByIt may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! – www.oprah.com
Of course Oprah doesn’t know what she unleashed by saying those words. After that episode of Oprah, came… the storm! The storm of Acai Berry Products and Scams, and the race to be the King of ORAC. I’m sure that you’ve atleast heard about Acai berry, although maybe not all of you are informed about Maqui berry. But that’s about to change.
A bit information before we go to the comparisons. Antioxidants value are a major player in the age-defying battle, accodring to the free-radical theory of aging. Not only that, it’s supposedly give you an edge on tofight age, disease, obesity, etc.
Okay. Now we can continue. Let’s compare the Fat Burners! Acai vs. Maqui.
| Subject | Acai Berry | Maqui Bery |
| Origin | Amazon, Brazil | Patagonia, Chile |
| ORAC value/gram | 1027 (Freeze Dried) | 2500 (Powder Form) |
| Contains Anthocyanins | Yes | Yes |
| Contains Polyphenols | Yes | Yes |
| Contains Amino Acids | Yes | Yes |
| Contains Vitamins | Yes | Yes |

Well, it’s easy to see it with stats, isn’t it? Frankly speaking, Acai lose in the ORAC battle but it have more nutritional value because of the multitude of vitamins in it. Maqui on the other hand is just a pure dose of antioxidants. So both have plusses. On the side note, most Acai products come with a 15-day free trial, but Maqui doesn’t. The bottom line is it’s a matter of convenience and price.
