maqui berry The treasure of Patagonia
Maqui berry is a native berry that grows in Chile in the vast expanses of Patagonia. This berry has been consumed from ancient times by indigenous people and is by nature extraordinarily rich in many nutrients and powerful flavonoid species known as anthocyanins. A specific category of these flavonoids, known as delphinidins, are responsible for the very dark purple color of the berries as well as for several health benefits.

We’ve all heard about acai and goji berries. But what about maqui berry? It’s a potent antioxidant with a growing body of published scientific evidence in areas ranging from metabolic wellness, eye health and beauty-from-within. I believe this emerging natural ingredient has both the story and the scientific to become a powerful therapeutic tool in supporting human health and wellness.

When I tested the product properties of this special maqui anthocyanidin extract for the first time, the experience was quite impressive compared to what I had been used to: an odourless and tasteless fine powder with superb solubility and an extraordinary deep colour, even in the smallest portion. Together with a broad field of scientifically bolstered applications, Delphinol® was exactly what I had been looking for to create the next best-selling product for my company.

In our everyday life there are many factors that lead to oxidative stress. Among other negative effects on our bodies, oxidative stress caused by smoking is known to negatively impact bone health and healing.
Bone metabolism depends in part on mutual regulation between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Cigarette smoking promotes osteoclast activity and thus increases the risk of osteoporosis, which may lead to osteoporosis-related fractures and impaired fracture healing.
In our clinic in Tuebingen, we are always on the lookout for ingredients that counteract these effects. Therefore, we examined the influence of well-known plant antioxidants such as maqui berry extract on bone remodeling processes. We were very impressed with the potential of maqui berry extract Delphinol® on bone metabolism, demonstrated in in vitro studies. In these studies, we treated bone cells with smoke extract to see if Delphinol® is able to reduce or even neutralize the oxidative stress caused by cigarette smoke. We have shown that Delphinol® reduces oxidative stress caused by cigarette smoke and have demonstrated improved osteoclastogenesis and inhibition of osteoblastogenesis, meaning that Delphinol® has a positive effect on bone remodeling by counteracting the negative effects of cigarette smoke.
