Acai Berry, and in particular the juice of the berry has received a great deal of publicity in recent years. Oprah Winfrey featured it on her show as did Rachel Ray. With such great celebrity endorsements can we assume it’s all it’s cracked up to be? It would be hard to believe that ‘stars’ of such stature would bother with promoting something that didn’t work so let’s look a little closer at the claims that many people have made about this berry.
The acia berry comes from the Amazon Rainforest and prospers in the floodplains and swampy regions of the forest. The berry itself grows in long bunches on a palm tree. It is very similar to a grape and even tastes a little similar although it is smaller – more the size of a large blueberry. It is a close relation to the blueberry family although packed a more powerful punch when it comes to the benefits. The natives of Brazil have known about the benefits for centuries and we in the west are now starting to realise the benefits this fruit will give to us in our modern day lives.
The benefits include:
1. Acai berry fights infection such as the bacterial infection staphylococcus aureus
2. High level of antioxidants to help protect against free radical damage
3. Proven to lower cholesterol
4. Currently being investigated by scientists in cancer research
5. High nutritional value.
6. Assists in weight loss
So why do you get it and how can you get it? Acia comes in a number of forms. The raw fruit doesn’t keep well and is diffcult to buy – unless you’re in Brazil and then there’s a shop on every corner. You can buy acai berry juice however that is often watered down with other fruits and deteriorates quickly. Then there are supplement pills – these are not all created equal. Acai juice needs to be processed immediately and the best method is to freeze dry. Many manufacturers also use a substantial amount of fillers so that you really don’t get the true benefit. There is a product that I recommend you try called Pure Acia Berry Max. It contains 100% pure acai – no fillers – so you get the max benefit.
If you’ve heard about the Acai Berry Scams – don’t worry this is a legitimate company with sold credentials and manufacturing process.
