Popular research shows that the maqui berry was discovered by a professor at the University of Chile, but the Mapuche Indians would tell you they have been using it for centuries to cure a host of physical ailments.  These ailments range from acne, slow metabolism and tumors.  The maqui berry has shown to neutralize free radicals which can lead to cancer and premature aging.  The powerful antioxidants contained in the maqui can also boost the human immune system.
