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.

this is such a rip off man i can probably lose the weight better by doing exercise instead of taking your sick diet pills
the product was good at first.. i did the sample bottle for 30 days. everything was well and i was going to order more... i just got my bank statement and it shows me that the product went ahead and charged me 80$ WITHOUT my consent. which i am not happy about. i will NEVER use this product agian. i want my money back. all i asked for was the FREEE trial!
Reviews of products are great.....the problem is you just never know is people who are for a product are just simply trying to push the product for their own hidden benefits. It is hard to believe that some here lost 8 lbs in one week yet others never lose an ounce. So who is telling the truth? Do I have to always buy the product to find our for myself?
all i can say about acai berry is that it is wonderful! i took it to supplement my current diet and i've already lost 12 lbs in 17 days! i know some people are skeptical but i highly reccomend this product to anyone, plus its all natural!
this site is currently having a deal, you only pay $6.95 to try it out, its great but its only for a limited time. heres the link:
I was dumb enough to order from this company and I lost $85.00 because I didn't call and cancel early enough!! It said a two week trial and then you can call and cancel it. Well it took a week to get and I called a week after that to cancel and they said they couldn't take the charges off!! I was soo mad!! They said in the fine print that it's two weeks from the order date, not the date you receive it!!!
This product sucks!!!!!!! Never gain will i ever use it.. im sick of these scammers out here lookin for a buck.. Give me a break people and sell some that actually works
I signed up for one of the free trial offers and didn't they ended up charging me for 3 separate orders... Needless to say it was an unpleasant big hassle to get it all fixed. It took 3 months!!! I really did like the Acai Cleanse stuff as it I did loose weight. I just did some searching and found a site that apparently trys the different programs and reviews them. I ended up signing up again about a month ago and the company I used actually called me to offer a flat fee month to month program instead of auto billing me. I hope, for those who want to use try the different acai diets, you can find something that works for you.

ive been on the pill for a couple days now. i feel more alert and able to sleep. but heard from the customer service rep that sold it to me that it does not aid in weight loss.
I too got messed up in the free trial offer. I read the terms to the auto program. I received my free offer and then cancelled in plenty of time to stop any future auto shipments. Got charged in January and February. I was told to report my card stolen and a new one reissued. What a pain!! If anyone wants to try this product, I'd recommend going to GNC or a local health food store. Product works the same and is MUCH more reasonable cost wise. I love this stuff, and would only purchase through a store now.
There are a lot of scams out there, and if you are one of the poor people that got scammed, why not do your part to put them out of business?
My suggestion: Google "Acai diet" - when the results come up, start clicking on the ad ("Sponsored Links") results in the right hand column. I'll click on each ad about 10-15 times.
Why do this? Google ads can cost advertisers a lot of money. If everyone starts clicking on their ads (but obviously not buying anything), the scammer is going to have one HUGE Google ad bill.
Have fun!
I loved this product. I have lost 18 pounds so far on it. I cancelled the day i ordered and i never got charged anything. They were happy to cancel my order because i just told them that i was not satisfied. I love it and now i am going to GNC or any other store to get it for a lot cheaper =)
Hey guys, dont buy it online, unfortunately, lots of people already have, thinking it was free. Instead, go to gnc or another health store and buy it there, like I did. I bought it and I noticed a difference! I sleep better and have more control with appetite, even my skin looks better. I've only been on it a week. I have high blood pressure and anxiety, and have to be careful when I take new products, but so far, my blood pressure has been fine, and no anxiety espisodes. It's seems safe to me.
Thank you all for letting me know the actuall facts.. I was almost there but thanks to all of you who posted your experience. I guess what I am doing now, which is excersising and the green tea pil, is good!! Thanks again!!!
THIS IS HOW I HOPEFULLY TOOK CARE OF THIS::: I got caught up in the Acai Berry - Colon Cleanse scam as well. I had three $83.00+ charges on my credit card before I realized what was happening. The following is what I did and so far it is has been successful. I started with contacting the Better Business Bureau in Florida for FWM Laboratories. Then I contacted my credit card company and submitted fraud alerts for the three charges. I also had my credit card company issue me a new number (as if I had lost my credit card) I then called the numbers listed on my credit card statement for each company (2 charges were same company and one charge was the other company) and was able to get through to a person on each of the two numbers and received a cancellation number on the one (from a very foreign sounding person) and was told I would receive an email confirmation on the other one. Never received it - ended up calling back and getting an email address. I emailed the company to confirm my cancellation and to get a return address to return the product. After getting a lecture by email on how I had agreed to the auto delivery program they told me they would reimburse me half of the 80 something charge and I could keep the product. (Yeah like I would ever take any of those pills now!!!). To date, my credit card company had deducted the three charges. However, I am still going to check my credit card online daily just in case. That's how I did it. I covered as many bases as I could. Good luck to all. FYI - The two numbers I called ((Acaiberry&lifecleans 866-949-0138)) and ((Ids*max Colon 866-8707042 Ca))

I like it and it is my first time trying it,
Please do not send me any more of your product. It may be a great product, but I can not afford to pay $79.95, I called and ask not to be sent any more product and there is another charge on the 18th of Feb.. When contacted regarding this product, I agreed to pay s& h for the sample only. the next thing I found all of these charges on my account. I just lost my husband and Iam grieving. Please leave me alone. Thank you
I ordered it last week! When does it come in??
DON'T DO IT!! THIS IS A RIP-OFF and a SCAM!! Not only did I not lose weight but it mademe feel ill.
To add insult to injury, the big ad of 30-day free trail is reduced to 15 days in fine print. THEN, after I cancelled and stopped in future shipments, I was still billed $82.22 -- for nothing since I never received another shipment. AND they refuse to credit my account. I have filed a dispute with the credit card company. DON'T DO IT -- Don't get ripped off like I did!!
I love acai!
Ever since I got my two free trials of acai and probiotic from I have felt great and I lost 15 pounds
I really got upset of not having any changes in 3 weeks, and when I called
to cancell my account you already charged my credit card which is not
agreable. If that is free trial send my money back.
