Aristotelia chilensis is a species of tree that is native to the rainforests of Chile and southern Argentina. Its fruit is known as Chilean wineberry or maqui, which is used as food or consumed as a dietary supplement, primarily because of its high anthocyanin content.1
Along with açaí and goji berries, maqui berries are considered by many to be a “superfruit.” An analysis of the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC, a measure of a food’s antioxidant property) of over 120 species and varieties of fruit produced within the south Andes determined that maqui along with two other fruits “largely outscored” all others.2
Acne is often a concern among adolescents, teenagers and, increasingly, adults — particularly women. While this chronic inflammatory condition associated with oily skin may not last a lifetime, acne pustules and cysts can leave red marks and mild to deep pitting that, unless treated, can be carried into old age.
One way to improve heart health is to exercise. But what if you could achieve some of the benefits of exercise without stepping on a treadmill?
According to a recent study, that dream can become a reality with a supplement: curcumin.

In 1937, the Nobel Prize in Physiology was awarded to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi for his research on vitamin C. At the time, vitamin C was a rare commodity and could only be extracted from adrenal glands or massive amounts of orange juice.
Szent-Gyorgyi’s discoveries helped launch an onslaught of vitamin C research, especially into its ability to enhance immune function.
The human body does not produce vitamin C. It must be obtained from outside-the-body sources. Water-soluble vitamin C is quickly excreted.1 That’s why it makes sense to supplement daily with vitamin C to ensure the body has the protection it needs.

Oral ceramides have grown in popularity because people feel the moist suppleness of youthful skin return within a short time after taking one small capsule each day.
Clinical studies have shown that an oral phytoceramide dramatically hydrates, smooths, and rejuvenates aging and wrinkled skin.
