# MaquiBright® or Maqui XT®: Which Maqui Extract Fits Your Formulation?

[Daniela Chávez - CMO MNL Group](https://www.mnl-group.com/en/blog/author/mnl-group)

When consumers search for Maqui Berry, eye health is usually part of the conversation — search data shows Maqui closely associated with ingredients like astaxanthin, lutein, and bilberry, all recognized for ocular antioxidant support. That connection isn't accidental: Maqui's high concentration of delphinidins, a rare and potent class of antioxidants, is what links the fruit to this category in the first place.

MNL Group's two Maqui-derived ingredients, MaquiBright® and Maqui XT® Powder, both draw from that same antioxidant-rich profile. MaquiBright® is the one with the clinical trial behind it, patented and standardized specifically for eye-health outcomes. Maqui XT® Powder shares the same delphinidin-rich origin, but rather than a single clinical claim, it's built to carry Maqui's antioxidant strength into functional food and beverage formats.

## Same Origin, Different Purpose

Every MNL Group ingredient starts in the same place: wild-harvested Maqui Berry (*Aristotelia chilensis*) from the forests of Chilean Patagonia. From that shared starting point, MNL Group processes the berry differently depending on the application it's built for.

### MaquiBright® — Standardized for a Clinical Claim

[MaquiBright®](https://www.mnl-group.com/en/maquibright?hsLang=en) is MNL Group's patented, clinically studied extract, standardized to ≥25% delphinidins and ≥35% total anthocyanins. It's the ingredient behind a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial showing a 25% increase in tear fluid production after 4 weeks, and roughly 75% reduction in dry-eye symptom severity after 60 days. That level of documentation is what makes MaquiBright® the ingredient of choice when a brand needs a specific, substantiated eye-health claim — most commonly formulated into capsules, tablets, and sachets.

### Maqui XT® Powder — Concentrated Antioxidant Power, Built for Flexibility

[Maqui XT® Powder](https://www.mnl-group.com/en/maqui-xt?hsLang=en) carries Maqui's antioxidant profile in concentrated form, standardized to ≥25% total anthocyanins and ≥20% delphinidins through a solvent-free extraction process. That concentrated antioxidant base, combined with high water solubility and a clean label, is what makes Maqui XT® Powder the practical choice for functional beverages, antioxidant shots, bars, and other formats where a strong Maqui presence needs to blend into the product itself, not sit inside a capsule shell.

## Two Profiles, One Source

MaquiBright® at a glance

- ≥25% delphinidins / ≥35% total anthocyanins
- Patented, standardized extract (WO 2014/098092)
- Clinically studied for eye-health outcomes
- Typically formulated into capsules, tablets, sachets

Maqui XT® Powder at a glance

- ≥20% delphinidins / ≥25% total anthocyanins
- Solvent-free, water-soluble concentrate
- Concentrated source of Maqui's natural antioxidant compounds
- Built for beverages, bars, functional foods

## Which One Fits Your Formulation?

**Formulating a capsule, tablet, or sachet — especially for eye health?** MaquiBright® is the natural fit. It's the format it was designed for, and the one behind the eye-health clinical trial data: a 25% increase in tear fluid production and roughly 75% reduction in dry-eye symptom severity in controlled studies.

**Formulating a beverage, shot, or functional food?** Maqui XT® Powder is the practical choice. Its solvent-free, water-soluble profile is built specifically for liquid and food formats — the same reason it's the ingredient MNL Group sees used most often across functional beverage and food applications today.

Some formulators use both across a product line — MaquiBright® in a targeted eye-health capsule, Maqui XT® Powder in a broader antioxidant ingredient — since both draw from the same traceable Patagonian source, applied to the format each was built for.

Looking to explore Maqui Berry ingredients beyond these two? MNL Group's [guide to Maqui Berry powder and extracts in functional foods](https://www.mnl-group.com/en/blog/maqui-berry-powder-extract-functional-beverages-foods?hsLang=en) breaks down how Maqui XT® Powder compares to whole-fruit Freeze-Dried Maqui Berry Powder.

## Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MaquiBright® and Maqui XT® Powder?

MaquiBright® is a patented, clinically studied extract standardized to ≥25% delphinidins, developed specifically for eye-health applications and backed by a randomized controlled trial. Maqui XT® Powder is a solvent-free, water-soluble concentrate standardized to ≥20% delphinidins, built to carry Maqui's antioxidant strength into beverages, functional foods, and general-purpose supplements. Both originate from the same wild-harvested Patagonian Maqui Berry.

Do MaquiBright® and Maqui XT® Powder have the same health benefits?

Both come from the same delphinidin-rich Maqui Berry and share the same antioxidant compound family. Where they differ is how that shared profile is put to use: MaquiBright® is standardized and clinically studied specifically for eye-health outcomes, while Maqui XT® Powder is built to carry Maqui's antioxidant strength into a wider range of formats, like beverages and functional foods, without a dedicated clinical claim of its own. Each ingredient is formulated to perform best in the application it was designed for.

Why is Maqui XT® Powder better suited for beverages?

Maqui XT® Powder is produced through a solvent-free extraction process and is highly water-soluble, which allows it to blend cleanly into liquid formats like functional beverages, antioxidant shots, and drink mixes — something that's harder to achieve with capsule-oriented extracts.

Can Maqui XT® Powder be used in the same applications as MaquiBright®?

Maqui XT® Powder can be used in supplements, but it doesn't carry MaquiBright®'s clinical substantiation for eye health. Brands looking for a specific, trial-backed claim typically choose MaquiBright®; brands looking for a versatile, antioxidant-rich ingredient for beverages, foods, or general-purpose supplements typically choose Maqui XT® Powder.

      "text" : "MaquiBright® is a patented, clinically studied extract standardized to ≥25% delphinidins, developed specifically for eye-health applications and backed by a randomized controlled trial. Maqui XT® Powder is a solvent-free, water-soluble concentrate standardized to ≥20% delphinidins, built to carry Maqui's antioxidant strength into beverages, functional foods, and general-purpose supplements. Both originate from the same wild-harvested Patagonian Maqui Berry."

      "@type" : "Answer",
      "text" : "Both come from the same delphinidin-rich Maqui Berry and share the same antioxidant compound family. Where they differ is how that shared profile is put to use: MaquiBright® is standardized and clinically studied specifically for eye-health outcomes, while Maqui XT® Powder is built to carry Maqui's antioxidant strength into a wider range of formats, like beverages and functional foods, without a dedicated clinical claim of its own. Each ingredient is formulated to perform best in the application it was designed for."

      "@type" : "Answer",
      "text" : "Maqui XT® Powder is produced through a solvent-free extraction process and is highly water-soluble, which allows it to blend cleanly into liquid formats like functional beverages, antioxidant shots, and drink mixes — something that's harder to achieve with capsule-oriented extracts."

    "name" : "Why is Maqui XT® Powder better suited for beverages?"

    "@type" : "Question",
    "acceptedAnswer" : {
      "@type" : "Answer",
      "text" : "Maqui XT® Powder can be used in supplements, but it doesn't carry MaquiBright®'s clinical substantiation for eye health. Brands looking for a specific, trial-backed claim typically choose MaquiBright®; brands looking for a versatile, antioxidant-rich ingredient for beverages, foods, or general-purpose supplements typically choose Maqui XT® Powder."
