I assume you heard about acai? The magical Brazilian berry, often called the ultimate “superfood”?

You, like me, searched “acai” in Google only to find a sea of tacky websites shouting the benefits of their acai supplements. You were promised to miraculously lose weight, gain your libido back, wake up looking 20 years younger and never to be ill again.

You were even promised free trials of their acai supplements only if you provided your credit card details, nothing else.

Marketers like to place delusion in the minds of consumers with big words and empty promises. Anyone like me, who has been doing research on the topic for a while knows that the scientific world has only proven a fraction of these claims.

So, what did the scientists prove?

Taking acai berry increases antioxidant level in your body by 3 times. Every day around 10,000 free radicals hit each of your cells. You only see the results of this degenerative process – fast ageing and diseases. Acai berry is unusually high in antioxidants- anthocyanins – that fight free radicals, and hence prevent further damage to your healthy cells and organs.

Antioxidants in acai berry bring about the following health benefits:

• Prevention of fast ageing
• Nourished and improved skin tone
• Increased metabolism
• Prevention of heart diseases
• Reduction of cholesterol
• Improvement of brain function
• Increased resistance to colds and flu
• Enhanced eyesight

Moreover, studies show that acai berry in its freeze-dried form (in capsules) has the highest amount of antioxidants out of all other forms of acai (juice, fresh, frozen).

To summarize: the majority of acai websites claim health benefits not yet proven by scientists. One of the most important facts actually proven is that taking acai berry prevents degeneration of healthy cells and organs. You can maximise your antioxidant protection by taking acai in its freeze-dried form (supplements).

Finally, a friendly word of advice: If you wish to start taking acai supplements – make sure that you buy a product that contains pure organic freeze-dried acai, with no other ingredients.
