I openly admit that I found this on my own and dug in deep as I love food as medicine. I figure why not add some of my research here. I will get my doctor's opinion and add what he says tomorrow. (Update: he says it is amazing and I should keep taking daily). I did find it mentioned in a slide show for a presentation from a known Lyme doctor while I was researching. But I couldn't figure out how to include that.
Would love to see who else uses it? I bought the best organic freeze dried I could find online. It turns my tongue purple, and my husband calls me a giraffe after eating it. You can mix into smoothies or whatever. I probably shouldn't use honey all the time, but I added 1 teaspoon to a tiny bit of honey and put in freezer for 2 hours then ate because it reminded me of chewy taffy! Beautiful purple color powder.
"Maqui berry demonstrates promising anti-inflammatory effects in test-tube and clinical studies. This suggests that it may help combat conditions associated with inflammation."
"In fact, certain studies have found that MB is even better at defending against oxidative stress than other common berries, such as strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. Not only does maqui have antioxidant effects, but it’s thought to possess antidiabetic and antiviral activities."
"Maqui berries provide relief from arthritis, joint pain, and other inflammatory diseases."
Studies: (there are too many to grab)
