Açaí Supplements

What exactly is açaí anyway?  It is a berry that grows on acai palms, a plant native to the Amazon region in nothern Brazil.  For several years the fruit has been widely popular in Brazil, being used in a variety of drinks, juices and even ice cream.

Since the 1930s and 1940s, there have been studies done on the health benefits of açaí berry (often spelled as acai).  But not until recently has the fruit been more heavily analyzed for it's nutritional/phytochemical properties.  It has been lauded as one of the most nutritious foods in world.  The acai berry is: high in protein, high in dietary fiber, high in heart healthy essential fatty acids, contains large amounts of cholesterol lowering plant sterols, is loaded with vitamins/minerals and an abundance of several antioxidant phytochemicals found in the berry's anthocyanins (pigment). In short, the acai can simply help you slow down the aging process, and help you stay fit.

Oprah Winfrey even quoted that "açaí was one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world.  Acai is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, acai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate.  Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes its nature's perfect energy fruit.  Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids."
