Feb 02, 2010 – Acai berry is known as the super fruit as it brings about many health benefits – to improve heart health, aid perfectly in weight loss and detoxification, increase energy, stamina, and libido, improve and generate a youthful skin, help fight free radicals and cancer cells, strongly aid the immune system, and help a great deal in weight loss efforts. From different regions around the world, the popularity of the acai berry has taken any woman by storm. Even men would like to try the new dieting fad.

Acai berries are known to reduce weight significantly by increasing energy and stamina, which in turn enhances digestion and metabolism – where more calories are burnt and utilized for everyday activities that include exercise. Supplements and juices greatly help in exercise programs to successfully reduce weight and eliminate all the ugly fat a woman desperately hides all these years.

Because of such a huge popularity, shams have circulated around the internet to sell fake products. Experts on Certified Acai recommend the following tips when buying:

1.   Avoid companies that say they sell “FRESH”. Once picked from the tree it will only last within 24 hours. Obviously, that’s a huge impossibility since most products are processed to reach European and North American soil. Fresh acai berries are impossible to obtain not unless you live just beside the Amazon Rainforest.

2.   Take precautions on the content – not all acai berry products contain 2 vital elements, anthyocyanins and phyto-nutrients, and some products contain very little of these, but more of the fillers, extenders, or expanders that can be very dangerous when ingested.

3.   Purple is always the best – there’s a white and purple one to choose from, but always go for the purple as it contains more antioxidants than its white counterpart.

4.   Don’t go for normal pasteurization. Antioxidants are killed in this process because of very high heat. Go for the Flash pasteurization that will kill most bacteria but not the antioxidants.

5.   Acai berries are best frozen than dried to maintain and preserve the natural antioxidant strength.


Experts agree that buying from trusted and reliable sources are imperative since a consumer will always be informed about the real content and antioxidant levels of the acai product.
