Acai
An organic super food from Brazil packing a healthy dose of nutrients.
BACKGROUND
Just the mention of a product coming from the Amazon has the overtones of possessing mysterious health benefits. Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Its nutritional benefits are so powerful, Dr. Nicholas Perricone lists it as one of his top 10 Super Foods at Oprah's Web site.
Studies have shown that the Acai berry is one of the more nutritious and powerful foods on the planet. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Acai tastes like a mix of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its purple pigment is what makes it the perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. You probably won't find it in your local supermarket, but you may have better luck at health food stores, or from the many products springing up online.
The benefits of Acai are purported to be good for detoxing and maintaining optimal health for balancing your pH level. Proper pH balance is vital to our immune health and for disease prevention and correction. Other benefits you'll enjoy:
- Acai has a high concentration of antioxidants that combat premature aging. It has 10 times the antioxidants that red grapes have, and as much as 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. Anthocyanins may have antioxidant effects, possibly fighting cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infections, to name a few.
- Healthy monounsaturated fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols together help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
- An amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, help with muscular health.

INGREDIENTS
Each Acai product will vary in its ingredients. Be sure to look for Acai products that are all-natural, and do not include a long list of other ingredients. Acai in its purest form is most effective.
Acai comes in many forms, including the whole berry, juices, powders, capsules and pills, food items and more.
EXERCISE
Like any weight loss product, you should commit to a consistent exercise regimen. Be sure to look for Acai products that support a balanced and active lifestyle.
CONCLUSION
Exotic health foods, like the Acai berry, can provide untapped health benefits, if you can afford it. For whatever reason, these organic products are often on the steep side. But what else is more important than your health? If you can find room in your budget, a product like Acai is worth exploring.

Tried Acai Berry Supreme. Not only did it not work but they company sent product and kept charging my credit card until I cancelled my credit card. Would not let me return product and if it came back just marked "return to sender" they would not credit my card. Huge rip off and I have $200 in charges for something I do not want or like.

yes, all we need is exercise regularly, work out daily, eat healthy. that's all. we don't need to deal with this scam people. i had exp. with other diets free trial. on line. i was charged so many times. some of them they don't have contact number. that's why, i quit buying from trials.
All these people claming they notice a change in just one week are full of it. It's not a hype but it's turning into one for all those who want a "quick fix". Get real, the benificial effects can only be seen through a sustained healthy lifestyle. Don't buy supplements, you only sustain a very small percentage, the rest comes out...well you know.
The people who are saying they are sick need to give acai a longer chance. Yes, it keeps you in the bathroom for a few days, but how else do you think the toxins are going to come out of your body? The Mona-Vie acai juice is THE BEST acai out there. You can get it from the Mona-Vie website. Last Year I had the flu, an ear infection and bronchitis that turned into pneumonia ( had no idea) for weeks and the docs told me told me the Mona-Vie is what kept me out of the hospital.
It really works. I have tried alot of different diets and this one works. You have more energy and feel great, and most of all you lose weight.
Many people can benefit from the super fruit. Although there may be other dietary supplements, and natural remidies to assit with patients with various illnesses, the acai berry is the only fruit that contains protiens and antioxidents that slows down the aging process. Cancer patients have testified that the acai berry was beneficial to their disease and in most cases eliminated the cancer entirely when taking this super fruit on a regular basis.
My friend who is pregnant drank the "Inner" from Genesis Today. The Acai berry is in the "Beauty" as I recall. We went to Traviata in the downtown of Lisle, so you can find them locally.
The acai berry is an organic super fruit that carries health beneficial properties that other fruits do not.
I tired it and it works.
It's an amazing food!! So good eat iton a beach after exercises
From the first day taking the liquid form, I could feel the difference. My energy level was up, I feel more alert and all around better. My stamina level has gone up since my work takes me into long hourly days. I am even sleeping more soundly. I definetly recommend this product. I prefer the liquid form since it will be absorbed by the body more quickly and be put to use sooner.
I bought some acai supplements a week ago from a health food store and I love it. I've never been "regular" and since I started taking these I've lost 3 lbs and I've been regular.
If Acai Berry works, how come Oprah is gaining weight?
I ordered mine from Swanson Vitamins for $15.00 including shipping. So far so good!

Ordered it, used it, and hated it! It does not work, or it didn't for me anyways. Sent it back for the refund they promised if I didn't like it, and still haven't receieved my money.
