The Best Acai Berry Products Are Hard to Find
May 29th, 2010
Acai berry products are available online and in health food stores. Considered an antioxidant powerhouse, the acai berry has been praised on many television programs. Oprah praises the acai berry for its great natural properties. There are hundreds of acai berry products out there and we need to know what is the best. There really are some fantastic acai products available that really do all they claim. But like everything else there are also some rip-offs.
With all of its medicinal benefits it is no wonder that it has been used for centuries not only in Brazil but other South American countries as well. The hardest part of the process is trying to sort through all the hype surrounding products such as acai drinks and supplements and Monavie to give you the best results for the least amount of money. You could spend weeks and hundreds of dollars online trying to find the best acai berry product. Remember as with all supplements it could take up to a couple of weeks before you start noticing any difference. Give it a chance but first we need to find the right product.
The most popular acai berry product has been Acai Berry Select. You might have heard of this product on Fox News. It was recommended by Dr. Perricone during a segment of Super foods. This product is not sold in stores so don’t let a similar name product fool you. This Acai supplement is blended with only the highest quality Acai’s. According to most acai berry reviews this product will give you the benefit of the amazing antioxidant. This will boost your metabolism and energy as well as eliminate harmful waste and toxin buildup. This Acai is in capsule form and therefore unlike other Acai supplements there is no taste. Many of these products are offered online as a free trial, you only need to pay shipping and handling. This product not only offers the continued benefits of Acai it also helps in weight loss.
The next Acai berry review is the Vital Acai, it is also a capsule form and this is a big plus for many people. It is great not having to carry around a bottle of juice or having to right after brushing your teeth drink something really sweet. Especially if you are running late it is hard to remember to grab a bottle out of the fridge. This product works very well also but is not sure if it is as potent as the Acai Berry Select.

Acai Berry
May 28th, 2010
Before rust was dust Prometheus stole fire from the gods and brought it to earth and mankindwas never the same. In the new millennium he is at it again, our sticky fingered benefactor brought another gift to earth from the almighty gods.
In his hands is nothing short of a miracle; the golden key to immortality. As his previous generosity elevated the state of mankind so has his new gift to us mere mortals.The acai berry is the latest miracle from heaven to touch our lives via the Amazonian rain forest. This miracle berry is the closet thing to magic we will ever behold, so much so thatit should be called ‘The dessert of the Gods’. It is bursting at the seams with life giving nutrients and we are very fortunate to have it in this day and age where curative medicineis king.
The acai berry contains vitamin C, E, B1, B2and B3, as if that is not enough it also contains iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Take a breath because it does not end there, it also contains the essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9. Yet there is more, it has more protein than an egg and it has 33 times the antioxidant of red grapes. As hard as this may be to believe, all of this goodness is packed into a fruit no bigger than a blueberry.
Would it then be too much to say that this fruit is divine?The Brazilian acai berry is the miracle food of the new millennium, with its cornucopia of nutrients and antioxidants mankind has been blessed with a new lease on life. The acai berry rids the body of free radicals, it also helps in the lowering of cholesterol and it strengthens the body’s ability to fight disease. It may be a stretch to say that the Brazilian Acai Berry will grant eternal life, but a healthy life is within reason.If you were never concerned about the Amazonian rain forest before, the divine acai berry is now your wake up call to protect its home.
If you are not an environmentalist then care about the state of the Amazonian rain forest out of pure selfishness; your own health and well being. If the rain forest disappears so does this miracle fruit and its affect on your life and the quality of said life. Every time you eat this berry resolve in your heart to protect its home. For as the Brazilian acai berry goes so will you.

Finding Quality Acai Supplements
May 24th, 2010
With so much hype and so many low quality acai supplements on the market, it can be darn difficult to figure out who’s telling the truth about their acai supplements and who is out ot make a quick buck.
In this article, I’ll do my best to help you navigate the murky waters of the acai supplement world so you don’t get ripped off.
First of all let’s get this whole “weight loss” thing out of the way. Most of the pills on the market claiming acai as a miracle weight loss pill are full of it… especially those who say you need a “pure acai extract” for maximum weight loss.
That’s simply not true. Yes, there is such a thing as the acai diet and yes it does work, but here’s the thing – acai is just part of the overall strategy, not the only thing.
That means you can immediately eliminate most of the pills on the market right from the get go. Nearly all of them use spray dried acai anyway. I like to thing of spray drying like this. A potato is healthy – French fries are not. Acai is healthy – spray dried acai is not. Make sense?
If you’re going for a powder or capsule, make sure your supplement is using freeze dried acai – while most companies that use it do advertise it, not all do so if you don’t see it on their website or label (they’re not require to say how it was processed), give their customer service line a call.
If you want to get something closer to the actual fruit, I’d recommend going with the pulp or puree. It’s fairly expensive and to be honest doesn’t taste all that good by itself, but if you blend it up in a smoothie with other fruit, it’s delightful.
As far as specific companies that make high quality products, some of my favorites are Sambazon, Acai Thunder, Acai Roots, and Monavie.

Ultimate Acai Diet & Cleanse – Does Oprah’s Ultimate Acai Diet Work?
May 16th, 2010
If you’re trying to lose weight and you’ve heard of a new way of losing fat drinking something called acai (pronounced as – sigh – e). I’m here to explain why it is not only in-effective but a bad idea to put your hopes into this ultimate acai diet & cleanse. Oprah’s show really made a lot of hype surrounding this berry drink and I’m going to debunk it once and for all.
What are the benefits of Acai Berry Juice?
Acai is an amazing addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle. It promotes wellness through its very high levels of anti-oxidants which effectively slow the aging process and also help prevent disease such as cancer from developing in the body. They can also boost the immune system as does the phytosterols in acai, which also help fight auto-inflammatory problems such as arthritis and allergies. Lastly there is the omega 3 content which is another good anti-inflammatory.
That all sounds good now what about fat burning?
Well you see this is exactly the problem, there is no standout element to acai that provides fat burning. The combination of nutrients can help improve overall health and as a result fat burning may be easier, but this is in no way a silver bullet for weight loss. The ultimate acai diet and cleanse also involves a fiber shake which is what truly helps with weight loss as fiber will help balance out blood sugar, block carbohydrates from being absorbed into the body and and effectively clear out your colon of waste. However if you want fiber then you can get a bag of psyllium husks for $8. Unlike Acai which will run you about $3-$4 per daily serving!
Are there any alternatives?
Calorie shifting is your best bet for weight loss, as this diet focuses on boosting the metabolism instead of starving yourself. It is centered on losing weight permanently as opposed to temporary weight loss. Best of all it actually works and anyone can do it!

Things You Should Know Before Ordering Acai Berry Supplements
May 9th, 2010
Acai berries have been called one of the planets healthiest foods and they have even receives endorsements from the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Rachael Ray and are said to be one of the secrets behind such Hollywood heavy weights as Brad Pitt. Acai berries are loaded with healthy compounds that can assist with everything from loosing weight to improving your skin and even boosting your libido. But before you set out to ordering Acai berry supplements there are a few things you should know.
While the vast majority of Acai berry supplements on the market are quality products sold by reputable companies, like anything where there is profit to be had, a few bad apples are out there trying to run various Acai berry scams, and while rare, they are something you need to know about before ordering Acai berry supplements
The way the Acai berry scam works?
Scam may be a bit of an over statement, but the way it works is like this. Almost all supplement companies offer a free trial offer – this is normal. By accepting the free trial you are essentially agreeing to pay a monthly fee for a new bottle each month, should you decide to keep the product. Again – this is totally normal and is not something to be alarmed by. What you do need to look out for are Acai berry supplement companies that don’t offer a simple cancellation link.
Many people simply sign up for the free bottle of Acai berry supplement, only to find out later that contacting the company later is nearly impossible. And of course the billing goes on and on. Again, this is rare but it happens and I once got taken in by one of these offers for a weight loss supplement and it was a pain in the butt to finally cancel the darn thing.
So before ordering Acai berry supplements just make sure that you can find a cancellation link somewhere on the website you are ordering from (usually the bottom of the page).

Best Place to Get Acai Berry?
May 4th, 2010
What is Acai Berry and where can I buy it from?
When you first begin to hear all of the stories out there about an amazing super food which has been shown to provide the human body with astounding health benefits, you will want to learn all that you can about it. It’s only natural to want to get on board and be one of the people that are getting the health benefits of such a special food. When you begin to research and start trying to learn more about this berry, your first question will probably be, “What is the acai berry?”
The acai berry is a little berry about the size of a grape that grows in the Amazon Rainforest. Most of the fruit is actually seed, the actual fruit only takes up 10 percent of the entire berry, and the rest of it is actually the pit. The pulp is removed during the processing and that is what is turned into a puree and used for its health benefits. This berry is being referred to by many health professionals as one of, if not the best super foods available.
The acai berry contains a load of antioxidants, protein, fiber, omegas, and a wide variety of vitamins and nutrients that provide you with more health benefits than any other fruit in the world. It works as a colon cleanser, a health supplement, a diet supplement, and has shown positive effects at combating cancer cells. With all of these benefits to your health it is easy to see why it is considered a super food.
The next question you will be asking is, “Where can I buy it from?” The answer is that the most convenient way to purchase it is on the internet. You will want to be careful that you choose a good one that you trust to provide you with the purest form that you can receive.
There are a lot of web sites out there that are scams and will give you products which contain a much diluted form of the berry, or products which actually contain none. You want to make sure that you find a trusted web site that you can count on to give you the purest form of the acai extract, once you find a trusted web site you should stick with it and always purchase from that web site, this way you don’t run the risk of being ripped of by some acai berry scam.

Acai Berry Scams – Yes, They Are Real
April 25th, 2010
The acai berry is probably the most important and highly nutritional fruit to ever come out of Central and South America, but unfortunately since so-called snake oil salesmen are still alive and well, many people are getting scammed out of their hard earned money.
You have probably heard of acai berries that come from the acai palm found as far as Belize to the north and southward to Brazil and Peru. This fruit is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients and has a high oxygen radical absorbance capacity or ORAC score which is a measure of a food’s antioxidant capacity. While there are many benefits of this nutritious berry and some good supplements and healthy drinks, it is being exploited to make some internet marketers and supplement makers quite wealthy while dubiously charging monthly autoship fees to unsuspecting consumers.

Acai ORAC – Why the Acai ORAC Score Tops the Charts
April 15th, 2010
Acai ORAC. It’s a good thing, it’s high, it cures all.
All good, but what is it exactly?
ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It’s a laboratory measure of the ability of any substance to take on oxygen free radicals. The higher the ORAC numbers, the better the substance is at kicking free radical behind. A high ORAC is the sign of a good antioxidant.
There is a very long winded unit used in the ORAC scale – “micromole Trolox equivalent
