The Acai Berry (pronounced Ah-Sigh-Ee) has completely taken the wellness industry by storm and created it's own revolution. You probably find that funny because up until two years ago hardly anyone one had heard of it, including me who is around this type of stuff all the time. 
The benefits of the acai berry has been well knowen by the Amazonian's because they have been consuming them for centuries reaping the benefits of better health and improved vitality.
You may have seen this remarkable fruit being showcased on the Oprah Winfrey show, Rachel Ray, multiple news broadcasts, the internet, and most recently the CBS show "The Doctors."
What Is So Super About this "SuperFruit?"
These little black berries are about the size of a blueberry but have 15 times higher antioxidant properties and more than 20 times more than raspberries! The acai berry has one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) scores of any fruit on the planet coming in at 1,027 ORAC units per gram of FREEZE-dried acai. The higher the ORAC score the better because antioxidants protect our bodies from harmful free radicals that put our health at risk for diseases and inflammation.

They are grown in the rich, fertile soil from deep in the midst's of the Amazon rainforest, grown on acai palm trees, and are considered to be one of the worlds top "super foods." They are extremely rich in essential minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, fiber, omega-3 fats, and antioxidants.
Acai berries are very small, 90% seed and 10% fruit, which is one of the reason products made from them can be costly. Not only does it take a lot of berries to make a quality product but the cost of preservation can also be tedious.
Once harvested from the acai palms the berries begin to lose their nutritional properties in 24 hours or less so it is important to preserve these fruits immediately. One of the best ways to maximize their nutritional value following harvest is through a process called-freeze drying. This process is really one of the best ways to maximally preserve the nutrients in any acai product.

Today, there are hundreds of acai based products available on the market ranging from smoothies, juices, yogurts, and many varieties of supplements. You will find them as 100% acai juice or blended with other fruits high in antioxidants.
It is hard to sometimes sift through what are quality products and those that are not which is why I am happy to give you my opinion on the best acai berry products available on the market. Fill out the interest form below and I will respond to you soon!
