I was recently given the opportunity to try Novelle’s Organic Maqui superberry.  I’m not a huge fan of supplements but when I read that Maqui superberry contain the highest antioxidants in the world I was willing to give it a try.

A few of the benefits you get from Maqui are: increase stamina, strength, support for healthy immune system, neutralizes free radicals, a great source of vitamin C and Potassium. 

I had never heard of Maqui Superberry before and come to find out they are purple berries from the Patagonia region in South America.  They are traditionally used by the Mapucha Indians.  Novelle contributes a portion of the proceeds back to the Mapucha Indians. 

“Novelle uses only the highest quality natural ingredients, harvested by the Mapuche Indians, while utilizing sustainable harvesting practices. Novelle will donate a portion of the proceeds from this product to assist the Mapuche Indians in health care, education, prevention of deforestation and industrialization in their community.” -Novelle

I received a bottle of the Maqui Superberry liquid and powder.  I really liked the liquid it was convenient and I loved just being able to take a ‘shot’ of it in the morning.  Did I notice a difference?  I did feel a bit more energetic through out the entirety of the day.  Usually, I have a crash about three in the afternoon. I also, have not gotten sick like I usually do this time of year.  Whether this has to do with taking Maqui Superberry or not I’m not sure (I have also been taking Culturelle for several months.)

 This was a fun product to review and I’m thankful Novelle was kind enough to send it to me to test out. I plan on continuing to use this product and will follow up with an update at the end of my sample.
