May Promote a Healthy Gut

Your intestines are home to trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungus, which are referred to together as your gut microbiome. Though that may seem frightening, diversified gut flora can have a favorable impact on your immune system, brain, heart, and, of course, your stomach. However, problems might emerge when harmful bacteria outnumber good bacteria. Interestingly, research indicates that plant chemicals found in maqui and other berries may help alter your gut microbiota, boosting the number of healthy bacteria. Beneficial bacteria metabolize plant substances, which they then use to develop and reproduce.

The antioxidants present in maqui berry have been shown in animal and test-tube experiments to inhibit cancer cell replication, limit tumor development, and promote cancer cell death. Excessive exposure to the sun's UV radiation might cause premature aging of your skin. In test-tube investigations, maqui berry extract reduced cell damage induced by UV radiation. A tiny 30-day trial of 13 persons with dry eyes discovered that taking 30-60 mg of a concentrated maqui berry extract every day boosted tear production by around 50%.
