All About Acai

Acai berries are the fruit of the Brazillian acai palm. It is a small, dark purple berry that is rich in antioxidants, amino acids, phytosterols and amino acids. According to some reports, the acai berry has ten times the naturally occurring antioxidants as blueberries.

Recently, acai has risen to prominence at the recommendation of Dr. Perricone and Dr. Oz, who called the acai berry a superfood because of the richness of nutrients in these little berries.

Pure Acai Berry Pro

Along with acai, Pure Acai Berry Pro has “boosted” its weight loss power with some ingredients that have been commonly touted as weight loss ingredients, including:

  • Green tea
  • Garcinia Cambogia
  • Caffiene

The supplement is manufactured by Advanced Wellness Research, Inc. Offers on the Internet include a 14 day free trial.

Too Good to Be True?

The FDA has not approved the claims made by the company. There is also a growing problem that is all over the news. According to ABC news, “The growing problem of questionable acai sales on the Internet has reached proportions never before seen by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.”

According to the Better Business Bureau, many of the claims made by acai being marketed on the Internet, including some made by Advanced Wellness Research, Inc., are luring customers with promises of a free trial. Unfortunately, they don’t reveal that canceling the free trial is next to impossible, and the product is delivered monthly whether the customers want it or not. This leads to additional unplanned charges.

Complaint boards are alive with posts about Pure Acai Berry Pro, along with claims about many other acai berry supplement manufacturers.

Given the above, it would seem that most acai product claims are, indeed, too good to be true.

Nutritional Product on the Internet

A great deal of valuable information can be found on the Internet. Unfortunately, it is also very easy to be misled online. The Internet has been seeded with “customer” reviews and testimonials that are no more than marketing pieces written by staff copywriters who are talented at search engine optimization. Typically there is little truth in the testimonials. When searching for acai products, you will find several pages of such testimonials. This makes it extremely difficult to get good, solid information about the product that you are researching.

How Healthy is Acai?

The acai berry definitely has a lot of health benefits. Its nutrient profile of phytochemicals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids and amino acids can be a healthy addition to your diet. While the acai berry is not readily available in grocery stores, it is available in juice and sometimes as a frozen pulp. Both the juice and the pulp are delicious, tasting like a combination of berries and chocolate, and can be affordable in small amounts.

A healthy diet that includes a variety of brightly colored fruits and vegetables can provide antioxidants. Foods other than acai that are rich in antioxidants include:

  • Blueberries
  • Red wine
  • Dark chocolate
  • Purple grapes
  • Spinach
  • Cranberries
  • Pecans

The Bottom Line

Certainly, acai berries are a healthy food. When it comes to ordering acai supplements over the Internet, however, it is a case of buyer beware. There is no evidence that acai berries promote weight loss as many manufacturers of claim. To lose weight, you are better off choosing a healthful diet that contains antioxidant-rich foods, exercising, getting enough sleep and choosing a multivitamin that helps you to feel your best.

While taking this product probably won’t hurt anything but your bottom line, the claims made by the manufacturer combined with consumer reports of ongoing difficulties with such companies, you should proceed with caution.
