Description
Patricio Arce-Johnson and co-authors gather the human trial record on maqui berry supplements, in a 2026 systematic review. The Chilean fruit is rich in anthocyanins, plant pigments tied to antioxidant effects, and claims span blood sugar, heart health, and eye comfort. The team searched five databases under a logged plan and graded the trials for bias and strength of proof.
Twelve trials from 2014 to 2023 qualified. Single doses fairly steadily cut the rise in blood sugar after meals and shaped insulin response, while longer use gave mixed, modest shifts in blood sugar and fat marks. The steadiest gains sat with the eyes: more tears, milder dry eye complaints, and calmer tear chemistry. Small trials and short runs cap how firm the claims can be.
