Acai berry is getting an increasing amount of attention as a beneficial nutritional supplement, yet some people still are not aware of the many positives of this wonderful food product. One of the primary functions that people are becoming interested in is the ability for it to protect the body from free radicals that are implicated both in the aging process and in various illnesses such as cancer.

Damaging oxidation within the body can be reduced by introducing antioxidants into the body. Fruits and vegetables contain healthy amounts of these which are part of the reason that a healthy diet should include them, but they contain relatively little compared to Acai Berry powder. Antioxidants are measured in units called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) and while 100g of apples may contain 2,180 ORAC, the same amount of Acai Berry pure powder may contain 74,000! However, not all forms of the powder on the market are pure, requiring that you research before you buy to ensure that you are getting the purest form that your money can buy.

There are two commonly available forms of the powder sold. The pure, bulk, freeze dried powder, as well as that which has been packaged into capsules. The second form may seem to be more convenient and easy to take, but that convenience may come at a cost.

The problem with capsules is that they commonly use a diluted form of the powder. It may be mixed with other substances and often utilizes an inferior extract in the manufacturing process, giving an overall reduced potency for the final product. Considering the fact that the FDA has a recommendation that we all consume 3,000-5,000 ORAC per day, this can mean taking a large number of capsules to meet this need-considerably reducing the convenience that capsules are supposed to provide at a cost four times as much as pure freeze dried powder or more.

Bulk, freeze dried powder provides a purity far higher than any of its competitors. It will not only provide the ORAC amount that you need per day but also supplies all the Omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9, essential for healthy brain function. Additionally it accelerates metabolic rate, at the same time as giving you energy and helping you to manage your weight.

The powder is flexible in its use, not difficult as many may think. It can be mixed with your favorite foods, or into a drink. Yet its flavor is pleasant in itself allowing you take it as it comes if you wish, or simply mixed with water to maintain the purity. Far from being inconvenient it is easy to use, pleasant, and with benefits far greater than any capsule can provide.

Our prices are far more reasonable than capsules with a pound of powder costing just $55. With a tablespoon providing the daily recommendation of 4,200 ORAC this can mean that just a pound may provide over three month's supply. A huge benefit, for a low cost versus pills where you may have no idea what concentration of pure Acai berry you are getting for your money!
