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

- 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

CON

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.

this is so hot!
this is such a scam ive been taKing it for 8 moths and i lost NO weight just a bad taste in my mouth!!!!
Go to your local super market and buy some frozen acai.. blend it with apple juice and a banana for breakfast... you will feel great!
PLEASE GUYS READ THE FINE PRINT NOT ONLY WIL THEY CHARGE YOUR CC BUT YOU REC OTHER PRODUCTS AND YOU WILL BE CAHRGED FOR THEM TOO, I WORKED IN A CALL CENTER LIKE THIS BEFORE BUT I WAS ONLY CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT SALES WILL AND DO AS IT STATES YOU WILL BE REC A COUPLE OF OTHER PRODUCTS AND BE CHARGED MONTHLY, AND THE NUMBER FOR THE ACAI PILLS DOES NOT EVEN WORK, I CALLED B4 ORDERING, A RECORDING COMES ON AND THEN IT JUST DISCONNCTS- ILL GO TO THE LOCAL HEALT FOOD STORE!
I have bought this product from Winn dixie in Jacksonville Florida just a few days ago and today i am so full of life. I have been running around and dancing with my lil girl all day i must say it is helping me with energy a lot. I am on a exercise plan of at least 5 pounds a week for now. I will post back up on Monday Nov 5th with my progress:)
ok, just call me mikee, i'll try anything,
iwas going to order some of the free trials, after reading fine prints on most, they list a phone number to call to cancel, tried callng before ordering , the
numbers did not even work, didn't even geta rig tone, so i did not order but i found at my local health food store
a concentrated juice by dymamic , you drink an ounce a day refrigerate, a month supply was 15.00, I have using
only for 5 days and have noticed that my skin is less dry, hope the weight loss follows, we'll see.
Got my "sample" in the mail. It only has 15 pills in it, yet they want us to take 6 a day. So 2 days worth of pills? How am I supposed to feel the effects they claim will happen in just 2 days?
im calling my bank in the morning. Or i will own that .
I've been buying acai frozen puree from a local organic health food store called The Health Shoppe....a company called Sambazon makes this product and it comes in frozen packs that you can make smoothies out of... Well within a matter of a week after drinking the product, my skin was glowing and I had so much energy...I haven't heard of AcaiPure before, but if it has Acai power in it, it should work fine...Anyways I definitely recommend any Acai product to everyone!
Read the fine print nothing in life is free. Most acai in its pure form is good for you and worth what it costs. Buyer beware and if you have a problem call your credit card company and charge it back. Or better yet read all the fine print.
All fruits and veggies are best in their natural form, not in a pill. I've been drinking Acai in organic smoothies from Wild Oats for the last 2 years, and it's great! I recently found at the grocery store (not health food store) Bossa Nova Acai Juice, it's a little expensive, but worth it! They don't add any preservatives or sugars (which almost all other juices do, including v8 which claims to be 100% acai juice...read the ingredients...it's not!). I highly recommend drinking a cup of Bossa Nova Acai a day to lose weight, while working out and on a low-sugar diet.
I did the stupid "trial" and after 10 days of not receiving it I called & was able to get through 1st & cancel the order. The next day the trial order came in so I took the pills no biggee. Second day I took the pills again and SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION! Guess I won't take anymore of those. Any ideas on where to get ACAI drinks or something not like the supplement! Would love to see if I am allergice to the ACAI berry itself of the processing of it with the other ingredients.
The 'Acai Berry Diet Pill' is the scam of the century.

There is no magic pill for weight loss. Do not give your cc info to these con artists. If you thought the Nigerigan phishing scams were bad, this tops them.
I haven't tried it yet, but if they continue to charge you for the pills, call your credit card company and tell them you didn't authorize the charge. Hopefully that'll work.
I was at Wal Mart grocery shopping and my husband threw V8 Splash on my list. They had tons of different kinds so I just put one in the cart. As it turned out it was 100% acai berry juice. It was only $4. I had never even heard of the stuff until I brought it home and my hubby asked why I got "that diet stuff" I haven't tried just letting people know they can find it at the grocery from the company that makes V8.
WONDERFUL!! Though by it on e-bay, its a little cheaper

Reading these thumbs up reviews are sketchy. Sounds like your scammers are trying to scam you into the pros of this.
I don't like it.
This is so stupid. You get the stupid pills and then you can't call to cancel cause it won't conect. This is such a rip off. why on earth would I want to pay 89.00 wow what a rip off .
