Maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis)
What it is
A Chilean-Patagonian berry with the highest known ORAC value among edible fruits, driven by anthocyanins (predominantly delphinidin glycosides). RCTs with a standardised extract (Delphinol/MaquiBright) show improved tear production in dry eye (vs placebo), reduced postprandial blood glucose, and improved oxidative stress markers. Delphinidin content is 3-5x that of blueberries. Effects appear complementary to other berry anthocyanins — not duplicative.
Dose
60–180 mg standardised extract (Delphinol, ≥35% anthocyanins) daily
Time of day & tips
Take with breakfast; MaquiBright has the best dry-eye evidence; often combined with lutein/zeaxanthin for ocular support
