Considered the most powerful wavelength in the rainbow and nature’s own supernatural rarity, the color purple gives us a sense of beauty, power and longevity. Somewhere around 1900 B.C., the world’s first physical encounter with the color purple was achieved.

It took over 12,000 shellfish to extract 1.5 grams of purple dye… barely enough for a single article of clothing. Emperors and people of power used this newfound color for their garments to symbolize their nobility and immortal existence.

Fast forward to modern day – the color purple still represents feelings of power, longevity and health. Instead of wearing the color purple, we’re now consuming it!
 

The Power of Purple

Superfoods with purple pigment contain unique flavonoids called anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants which contribute to scavenging and expelling free radicals from the body.

“I love to mix maqui powder with my orange juice in the morning, and it gives me extra energy for the day. It tastes great too - It's subtly sweet with a nice depth to it.” – Lauren

A recent study found that “a growing body of evidence suggests anthocyanins and anthocyanidins may possess analgesic properties in addition to neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory activities"₁.

Anthocyanins can be found in everyday foods but we either peel off the nutritious skin of the foods containing these anthocyanins or we are not able to consume enough of them to get the level of antioxidants we need to radically charge the body. We have a solution to that.

You know Acai, but have you met it’s best friend, Maqui?

Maqui Berries and Acai are two of the world’s most antioxidant rich foods. They’re loaded with flavonoids and contain Vitamins A, C, B1, and B3—along with important minerals such as magnesium, copper, iron, calcium, and potassium.

Acai contains omega-3 essential fatty acids, contributing to the maintenance of mental clarity and brain function, while Maqui naturally contains polyphenols which contribute to overall immune support and well-being. They’re great on their own, but even better together!

“Although I put this in my smoothies a lot, I like it best when I put it in my homemade lemonade. It's like drinking pink lemonade. I love the taste!” – Claire
