Acai Berry Super Food Powder, Pure, No Fillers 95 gm

Acai is a wild harvested berry from the Brazilian rain forests. Used by the native populations for thousands of years as an elixir, Acai is a sort of super-food. It is packed with nutrients, containing anti-oxidants, the essential omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorous, fiber, and even protein. People report better energy, more vitality, more alertness, improved cholesterol, better health, greater well-being, and better digestive health.

Acai is a particularly rich source of a type of anti-oxidants known as anthocyanins, compounds belonging to the class of flavonoids. These anti-oxidants help reduce cholesterol and fight free radicals. It is the anthocyanins in grapes that are the reason a glass of red wine a day is associated with a heart-healthy diet. These red-blue penols with potent anti-oxidant properties exhibit numerous therapeutic benefits. In fact, they may account for the French Paradox, in which the French have one of the lowest rates of heart disease of any western nation, while smoking more and eating a diet high in cholesterol and saturated fats. These purple-colored phytochemicals lend their color to both grapes and Acai, but are found in the Acai berry in a concentration 10 to 30 times higher than in grapes. Acai is even higher in anti-oxidant activity that blueberries and noni!

Acai contains the same cholesterol controlling fatty acids as olive oil. The Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids in Acai between them help promote heart health by lowering LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) and maintaining healthy HDL (the “good” cholesterol) levels.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone listed Acai as one of the “Top 10 Super foods for Age-Defying Beauty,” saying about it, “This little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world.”
