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.

i just want to know if it will hurt diabetics??
If anyone has heard of sunrise natural foods, they offer great acai products for a good price. Other than that Im sure elliots, wal mart, maybe even whole foods has it. Just look around.
I ordered mine and it took it 2.5 weeks to arrive, luckily I was counting days and canceled it before they could bill my credit card for a months supply. When the free trial did arrive, the package was destroyed and pills were falling out which made it useless to try. I will never order pills online again. I might see if any local stores sell something similar just because I am still curious if it works but according to online hoodia products work better than acai products. (i ordered the acai berry 500)
I purchased this and it does not work and now I'm trying to get them to stop billing me and the number is not available from my calling area!!! what a scam
DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT ON LINE. GO TO A VITAMIN STORE OR EVEN WALMART SELL IT, IT REALLY WORKS,
I have been using this product for almost a month and lost nothing. I called to try and cancel and they say the wait to cancel can be up to 71mins. I am outraged
i wanna lose weight but im not fat i just wanna be littler then i am so does this really worka and can i get it in stores im not buying it over the comp scam im guessing but yeah i need answers so answer me asap please
i need to return the unused portion, where do i send it to?????
All this is in a healthy antioxident like blueberries, grapes, etc. in Juice form, it can have some healthy properties such as orange juice in helping to fight off colds etc., helping rid body of free radicals etc. Its not a bad choice, as, it is packed with antioxidents but, whether it has more than tea, i'm not sure. It may not be worth the extra $$$ when you can just brew a gallon of black tea and probably get just as many. However, my son loves the taste of the v8 with acai berry so its worth buying to me because he won't drink juice often.
Whether you choose to buy it or not, buy it for health benefits along with a low calorie diet because eating high fat and drinking this juice will only cause you to gain weight.
aha! i'm glad i did not order it!!! well, i will try it though, but probably i'll buy it in walmart..much cheaper & guaranteed!!!
thanks people for the warning;-)
how old do you have to be to take this stuff?
dont do anything,cost way to much,rip you off with the read the fine print,i did not read the nile long list of conditions.i got burned on the do nothing bit. never again j r
where do we get acai berry juice? which health store?
I used Acai Juice to help me fight a strep throat not even knowing that it helps weight loss. I kept using it after the 2 days I had strep just cause I loved the taste. I loss 10 lbs in a week, and was couldn't feel better.
I had stopped for two weeks and I can really feel the diffrence. I will be going back.
Whoever Kate is stating that they only charge you IF you do nothing, Well the phone number provided is ALWAYS busy so that you can not cancel. I don't care what she says it is a scam and the police should be involved. I got mine from Boca Raton Florida. DO NOT ORDER THIS STUFF THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY.
i've just recieved the product two days ago and im being charge 80 sumthing dollars, and i've been trying to call them for the last two days to cancel so that they won't charge me for it but tolate and the number they gave has a problem with it........this suck!..........
These people rip you off!
Beware!! There is no 14 day free trial. They snag you.
Big, big scam!! I ordered 14 day trial (for shipping costs) and they sent me the product along with two other non ordered products calld Hoodia and billed me for them.My creditr card company cancelled charges andwill notify their bank..Central coast Nutraceuticals is the company - Stay away from them..
I ordered the free trial and never recieved it. I have emailed customer service twice and still haven't heard a word. Wu-Yi tea here I come.
For all of you who claim this website is a "scam", perhaps you should read the "Terms and Conditons" portion of the website, always a good idea when ordering ANYTHING online. Just so you know...
