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.

PRO
  • Research concludes that there appear to be significant benefits to Acai
  • On Dr. Perricone's list of Super Foods
  • Natural ingredients have disease-fighting qualities
  • Increases energy
  • Offers antioxidants and amino acids
  • Good source of fiber
  • Organic products available
  • Many juices and other products available in major grocers
CON
  • Like other exotic products, Acai can be pricey
  • Many imposters
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.

umm yeah. for all of you that say it's a scam... it's not jeeze! you have to READ the fine print before you pay for shipping. I just ordered my 14 day trail after I read all the details about canceling before day 14 hits. I called the number and spoke to a lady there who was extremely nice and helpful. then again, i probably ordered from a different website. the number they gave me was 954-237-2690. all you have to do is call press 2 and 2 again to speak to someone. c'mon people... take the time of day to read before you buy something online posted Dec 22nd, 2009 12:51 pm

You can buy acai trim at wal mart for like $12 and its all natural. DO NOT EVER GO THROUGH ACAI BURN, they have a lot of hidden things in their subscription and charge you 80 dollars twice a month some times more. I have been taking the acai trim for about 3 weeks now and im definitely more awake,responsive, feel better and lost 15 lbs, but the weight loss like stated above needs to have exercise involved you cant just take the pills and eat crap and not do anything. It does live up to the hype about it. So if you do want the best versions out there go to your local wal mart or gnc, both being inexpensive and work. posted Dec 17th, 2009 1:01 pm

My bad, my sister told them that she read it made you feel tired all day, not full. And then the person came back with sniping that she was lying and she never read any reviews. posted Dec 8th, 2009 12:17 pm

My sister partially filled out the form on their website for the acai berry diet. She never hit submit. But then she read bad reviews on it and closed the page. She then got a phone call from someone from the acai berry diet website and asked her why she didn't complete the form. So evidently they use their systems to either hack into users computers or watch their website when people enter data, I'm not sure. If you put in your information and never hit submit, they will get your information. Not sure if that is legal. But ok. So my sister says she heard bad reviews so she decided not to try it. The lady snapped back "You're lying" and said it's all natural and she's lying about reading reviews. My sister was being nice and said that that's what she read and she read it doesn't make you lose weight. Once again the lady continued snapping back with "you're lying" over and over again. My sister then said, "Well maybe I can research it more and call back and maybe give it a try." And the lady on the phone said "Never mind, just forget about it." And hung up on her.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't support a company that hires workers like this. posted Dec 8th, 2009 11:49 am

I liked the product, but the 14 day trial period is misleading, since the trial period starts the day the order is placed and on the day we receive it.
It took me 25 days to receive the order.
The 14 day trial was already over, at +$93.00 shippng included is a ripp off. I was automaticly placed on auto ship, and I did not even recive the second shipment as of this day Nov 4 2009. Original order June 6 2009 posted Dec 4th, 2009 3:28 pm

I am taking the Acai berry for about 15 days. It does taste horrible but is worth the benefits. I’ve very good experience with Acai Berry. After, trying this I have more energy and feel “better” inside. Also, I’ve dropped a few pounds. posted Dec 4th, 2009 2:10 am

Building muscle is an EXTREMELY complicated process that isn't bypassed by taking a pill. Science hasn't figured out exactly how it's done 100% yet.

It can only be done through proper diet, exercise, and RECOVERY.

I'm surprised there's even one person that falls for this scam. posted Nov 9th, 2009 2:56 pm

thanks to the person who offered the information about the sale at walgreens on the acai products! that is wonderful to know. i have been looking into this product for quite some months now, and was also skeptical about ordering from a website. and yes, they were right. this website is only informational, they do not sell the product and we have no right to be barking at them. posted Oct 21st, 2009 1:19 pm

Hello i order 2 bottles of products and from the jump i knew it was going to be a problem once i ordered it, the call dropped when finishing my order and when i call back to confrim my order they didnt have no info until 24 hours of order made i was like okay!! Then i only wanted 2 bottles when i look at my transactions the total said 11.85$ and nobody knew why so i receive the products fast and now when i see my transaction now they charged me for 3 bottles and my total is 12.21$ and they wouldnt refund my money all they did was cancel my account and i cancel my debit card and dont want to know with them very un professional and not willing to work with anybody. posted Oct 20th, 2009 9:46 pm

DO NOT ORDER OFF THE INTERNET. Or, be very wary of which company you choose to get your "free" trial of acia berry from. There are many scams, so be careful. The reason I thumbed-up this product is because, if you go to a drugstore like ~Walgreens~ or ~CVS~ you can go to the diet section and find acai berry blend. That acai works wonders as far as helping you go to the bathroom..but I don't believe it burns any fat. Still-it is good to give you an energy boost and a detox. posted Oct 20th, 2009 6:23 pm
