Acai berries are growing increasingly popular among those who are interested in getting and staying healthy. They are quickly becoming the number one super food because of the many positive health attributes they are known for. Acai berries collaboratively help promote weight loss, improve circulation, boost your immune system, enhance mental function, and can give you more energy!

Acai berries are found in the Amazon jungle and are the fruit of the Acai palm tree and are a staple of the native diet for its health benefits as well as it’s taste which is a mix of berries and chocolate. Acai berries are marketed in many forms including juices, powders, pills, tablets, and smoothies. In order for Acai to be the most effective you need to consume it in as pure a form as possible and it must be freeze dried to avoid destroying all of its powerful anti-oxidants. In recent months there have been many scams exposed where products claiming to contain pure acai powder actually contained very little.

For Acai to be effective, it is recommended that you ingest 3000-5000 ORAC units each day. ORAC is short for "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity" and what they do is give unstable oxygen cells electrons that they are missing to make them stable. Without ORAC’s the oxygen cells that are missing electrons from their walls will take away electrons from other stable cells and then those cells become unstable and they must look for electrons to stabilize them and on it goes. This process is called oxidation and to stop the process you need to include lots of anti-oxidants in your diet such as the Acai berry!

Now we know that Acai berries can be found in many forms but which way is the best way to include this super food in your daily diet? Ideally, you would want to find a way that was economical and provided the Acai in its purest form. Most capsules contain around 500 milligrams of Acai powder so to get the recommended daily dose (3000 –5000 ORAC units per day) you would have to take at least 6 capsules per day to get the minimum dose or 10 capsules per day to get the maximum dose. A bottle of capsules usually contains 60 to 100 capsules but if you take the maximum dosage (10 capsules a day) that’s only a ten day supply! Even if you take the minimum of 6 capsules for 3000 ORAC units per day a 100 count bottle is still only a little over a two week supply!

The most economical way to get your Acai is in powdered form and by buying it in bulk you will greatly reduce your cost. Our one-pound, vacuum, sealed bag of organic freeze-dried Acai powder should provide you with more than a three-month supply of 4,200 ORAC per day for only $55! The powder is very versatile and can be added to your favorite food or drink but has a very pleasant taste and may just be mixed with water or taken right off the spoon followed by a large glass of water.

Before you purchase any Acai capsules or powders, make sure that you know how it was processed, if there are any other ingredients and whether or not the product is organic. Acai is a great supplement for you and you’ll be amazed at your body’s increased health and how much better you’ll look and feel
