One of the more recent Superfoods on the international market is the fruit Aguaje. This unique-looking fruit from the Amazon Rainforest is specifically being heralded as a “Miracle Fruit for Women”, and also for respected LGBTQI people, because its nutritional and phytoestrogen hormonal makeup does offer several specific advantages for women. It's a food that can potentially benefit both physical health and appearance. Its scientific name is Mauritia flexuosa.
Aguaje can be eaten raw or in the form of juice as well as a jam or very delicious even as an ice cream. The fruit itself does not have a very strong taste and some have described it as slightly salty tasting. Oil from this fruit can also be applied to the skin. Aguaje can also be taken in supplement form as a powder extract in a capsule or a couple of table spoons of raw powder in a bowl or a smoothie.
Aguaje offers a nice balance of nutrients and can strongly promote the health of the eyes and skin. It's long been a sound nutritional choice for native people in South America since it prevents dehydration while providing high quantities of several vital nutrients.
The fruit also offers high amounts of protein and dietary fibers for a fruit.
Some of its standout nutritional positives:
- It has more Vitamin A than a carrot.
- It has more Vitamin E than avocados.
- It has as much Vitamin C as citrus fruits like oranges.
- It is high in essential fatty acids like oleic acid.
- It can moisturize and protect the skin from sun damage.
- It is naturally anti-inflammatory.
- It has a high electrolyte content.
- It is gluten free.
- It contains high quantities of ß-sitosterol which helps to lower harmful cholesterol levels in the body.
Men can also benefit nutritionally from consuming this fruit or using the oil as a way to moisturize and protect the skin, but the potential benefits for women are even more incredible. This is because Aguaje is rich in female hormonal phytoestrogens. Research on phytoestrogens is ongoing, but consumption of Aguaje doesn't seem to have any harmful effects on men. The phytoestrogens can provide almost certain benefits for women. The fruit can potentially restore fertility. It can be a great natural treatment for symptoms of menopause and it can potentially increase breast size (women with higher levels of estrogen tend to be a bit curvier). For this reason the female hormonal rich Aguaje powder is also growing in popularity in the respected LGBTQI community. Furthermore its antioxidants can slow down the effects of aging on the skin by reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
There haven´t been many scientific studies of this new Superfood yet, but the research that has been done on Aguaje is looking very positive. It has been found that the fruit has a superior mix of nutrition known to be of vital import. In addition to all the known positives of Aguaje's nutritional makeup, some research is even suggesting new miracle uses for the fruit, like in the treatment of dementia and other cognitive problems.

Like with any Superfood, to truly expect a miracle after its consumption is probably asking too much. That said, by regularly consuming this and other Amazon Superfoods over time, there are bound to be positive impacts.
The Aguaje atomized powder marketed by the Amazon Superfoods Company is 100% natural as the fruits are cultivated and harvested in a chemical free and organic environment by independent local and indigenous communities living deep in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest.
