When it comes to antioxidants, Maqui is Queen. This small purple berry grows wild in the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina, where the Mapuche people have used it medicinally for centuries to increase stamina and boost energy levels.
In fact, according to the ORAC test, which measures the antioxidant capacity of substances, Maqui is the most powerful natural source of antioxidants on the planet, with a score of 27,600 ORAC units/100g. These values are more than 2x greater than acai, 3x greater than pomegranate and 100x greater than red wine.
For its science-backed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its capacity to reshape the gut microbiota we have included organic Patagonian Maqui in both our superpowders.

Maca is an adaptogenic* root that has been used for centuries in South America as an energy booster as the plant itself has adapted to the harsh condition of the high altitudes of the Andes by improving its endurance.
Also known as “Peruvian Ginseng”, it works by balancing the adrenal system, therefore helping to decrease stress and anxiety which are one of the main causes of fatigue.
At AYNI we use gelatinized Maca (instead of its cheaper counterpart raw Maca) which is not only the way it has been consumed in Peru since hundreds of years ago, but also the more digestible and bioavailable version.
* An adaptogen is a nontoxic substance and especially a plant extract that is held to increase the body’s ability to resist the damaging effects of stress and promote or restore normal physiological functioning.

Camu Camu is a small berry that grows in the flooded areas of the Amazon Rainforest of Peru and Brazil. It’s the highest known natural source of Vitamin C (FACT: it has 3 times more vitamin C than acerola and 30 times more than an orange!) making it a powerful antioxidant that boosts collagen production in the skin and supports immunity.
Unlike many vitamin C products which use synthetic ascorbic acid, our plant-based vitamin C from Camu Camu is easily recognized and absorbed by the body as it’s accompanied by other plant compounds, co-enzymes and bioflavonoids.
This ingredient is sustainably sourced from the Peruvian Amazon, where its fair trade is protecting the areas where it grows from deforestation for logging.

Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana), also known as Aguayamanto or Inca Berry, is a yellow fruit native of the Peruvian Andes. It comes from the Solanaceae family (as Ashwagandha) and it’s considered a superfruit for its many health benefits: it has powerful anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antioxidant properties boosting our immune system, helping to detoxify our body, preventing viral infections, aiding in minimizing cellular aging and lowering stress, anxiety, physical and mental fatigue and depression.
Golden berry is also a natural, food-based source of withanolides –the natural steroids that are the main active compounds in the widely used adaptogen Ashwagandha–. Whitanolides help the body adapt to stress by improving the health of the adrenal system. This, in turn, can reduce feelings of anxiety and irritability. Over time, adaptogens have been linked to better emotional well being.
We consciously source this ingredient from the Peruvian Andes where it’s harvested at maximum potency and immediately freeze dried to maintain its qualities and nutrients until it reaches your body.

BLOOM IS A BLEND OF 5 HIGHLY BIOAVAILABLE ORGANIC SUPERFOODS THAT WORK SYNERGISTICALLY TO DELIVER RESULTS.
CAMU CAMU
To support immunity and collagen production instead of synthetic Vitamin C (known as Ascorbic Acid and mainly derived from GMO corn) this formula contains Camu Camu, a berry known to be the highest natural source of Vitamin C on Earth.
Vitamin C in its wholefood form also contains bioflavonoids which are powerful antioxidants that improve its absorption and effectiveness.
MAQUI BERRY
We have also included Maqui Berry which has the highest antioxidant value of any fruit according to the ORAC test. Maqui helps to stop free radical damage in the cells improving skin health and reducing oxidative stress.
It also fights inflammation in the gut, where 70% of the immune system is regulated. Maqui has compounds such as anthocyanins that reshape your gut microbiota, increasing the amount of good bacteria. Anthocyanins have been shown to also support healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular health.
ACAI
Simultaneously, Acai provides two essential fatty acids known as omega-6 and omega-9 which help reduce bad cholesterol levels and support a healthy heart. It’s also antioxidant rich, boosting skin health and helping to fight inflammation.
GOLDEN BERRY
Golden Berry has a high content in withanolides (also found in Ashwagandha), naturally-occurring adaptogens, which help your body adapt to stress by improving the health of your adrenal system. This, in turn, can reduce feelings of anxiety and irritability.
It’s also rich in carotenoids, which are antioxidants that help to prevent or slow down damage to your cells and support the cardiovascular system
MACA
Last but not least, BLOOM boosts your energy levels in a natural way through gelatinized Maca. Many supplement brands use raw maca which is less expensive, but almost impossible to break down by the body due to its high starch content. Gelatinization is the name of the process through which the starch content is broken by heat and the pulp is dried to create an easily digestible powder with a higher concentration of nutrients. Research shows that maca root helps to boost energy levels, balance hormones, increase libido and improve mood.
