Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2024?
BACKGROUND
Just the mention of a product coming from the Amazon has the overtones of possessing mysterious health benefits. Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Its nutritional benefits are so powerful, Dr. Nicholas Perricone lists it as one of his top 10 Super Foods at Oprah's Web site.
Studies have shown that the Acai berry is one of the more nutritious and powerful foods on the planet. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Acai tastes like a mix of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its purple pigment is what makes it the perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. You probably won't find it in your local supermarket, but you may have better luck at health food stores, or from the many products springing up online.
The benefits of Acai are purported to be good for detoxing and maintaining optimal health for balancing your pH level. Proper pH balance is vital to our immune health and for disease prevention and correction. Other benefits you'll enjoy:
- Acai has a high concentration of antioxidants that combat premature aging. It has 10 times the antioxidants that red grapes have, and as much as 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. Anthocyanins may have antioxidant effects, possibly fighting cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infections, to name a few.
- Healthy monounsaturated fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols together help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
- An amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, help with muscular health.
PRO
- Research concludes that there appear to be significant benefits to Acai
- On Dr. Perricone's list of Super Foods
- Natural ingredients have disease-fighting qualities
- Increases energy
- Offers antioxidants and amino acids
- Good source of fiber
- Organic products available
- Many juices and other products available in major grocers
CON
- Like other exotic products, Acai can be pricey
- Many imposters
INGREDIENTS
Each Acai product will vary in its ingredients. Be sure to look for Acai products that are all-natural, and do not include a long list of other ingredients. Acai in its purest form is most effective.
Acai comes in many forms, including the whole berry, juices, powders, capsules and pills, food items and more.
EXERCISE
Like any weight loss product, you should commit to a consistent exercise regimen. Be sure to look for Acai products that support a balanced and active lifestyle.
CONCLUSION
Exotic health foods, like the Acai berry, can provide untapped health benefits, if you can afford it. For whatever reason, these organic products are often on the steep side. But what else is more important than your health? If you can find room in your budget, a product like Acai is worth exploring.

-it is since a week iam taking acai pure.it tastes good to me but there are no changes till now.hope it works soon.

+My question is lets say once you stop taking the Acai product but you're still exercising and eating healthy, do the lost lbs stay off or is it like taking an ephedra type product where you regain them back? I think someone once mentioned that because it is all natural, whatever you lose, you lose?

+I have seen a ton of the Scam issues with auto charges and I found a way around that. Download the Paypal plug-in from Paypal.com. You will need a paypal account, but this tool allows you to generate a secure Charge card for ONE time uses only. So the companies CANNOT charge for more than the shipping. Nice safe way to actually try something without being hosed.

+I stupidly did the "free trial" that charged $90 dollars later... but I quickly found out and canceled after only one charge. But I must say, the darn things worked! I will def go to an organic store next time to purchase.

+I personalty liked using the acai berry system I found on this site
posted Dec 6th, 2008 1:45 pmI think for the most part they are mostly the same and I would not be surprised to learn one day they are all made from the same company either.
Like everything, you just have to do a trail and error with the different products. I used the Vital Acai product to drop some weight fast and am now using MonaVie daily.
So far so good!

+I ordered 100% pure berry juice from another site (email me and I will tell you) and it was pricy, and a tad bitter, but the results were almost immediate as far as my energy level. Next comes the weight loss.

+I started the Acai concentrated. I drink a minimum of three shots a day. First shot on an empty stomach. I am feeling a little jittery and I feel my appetite is suppressed. I am waiting for a few more weeks to see if I am losing weight. I think I will. I'm eating less.

+so far all that i have heard about it seems like it works well, so i think i will try it. i'm more concerned about the health benefits than losing weight but that's always a plus too! i'm just wondering about lasting affects. has anyone been on it for a long period of time and noticed any complications? also, if you stop taking it as consistently as you had previously are there any side affects?
posted Dec 4th, 2008 11:43 pmoh and thank you for the warning, i definately will go to a store to purchase these products

+Yes don�??t believe in free trial. if there are free trial they usually charge you for that after 14 days.
posted Dec 4th, 2008 10:09 amread this acai berry select review
http://www.yourbestweightlosspills.com/AcaiBerrySelectReview.php
It is my site that promote acai berry brand too but not like other reviewer i too concern about the scams.
I think this Acai Berry Select is more honest than other Acai berry brand in :
1. they don�??t offer free trial but they do offer extra bottles for 3 month supply of acai berry.
2.They have better information in their website than other Acai Berry Site, you can compare them if you like. In term and condition there are more info such as herbal safety guideline. (And i don�??t see scam in this term and condition unlike other acai berry site that would say after 14 days they would charge $84, or $40)
3. The Acai Berry Select site don�??t force you to buy their product. In other site when you want to get out, they usually called you in a pop up screen saying they have a discount of $3 dollar or more. I think this kind of marketing is kind of irritating don�??t you think??
This is not a spam or anything, just to let everyone know to choose the better Acai berry product

-I haven't started taking the pills yet, but I agree with many of the other reviews. It took WELL OVER the 10 Days to reach me and yes, my credit card has been charged the $80+.
posted Dec 3rd, 2008 8:24 pmHas anyone had success in getting this refunded?

+I just bought a bottle from an herbal store. The only thing is that it does not seem to suppress my appetite. Does anyone know where to buy another brand that will suppress your appetite?
posted Dec 3rd, 2008 2:41 pmOtherwise, It seems to be working...

+Does anyone know if the juice works better than the pills or vice versa and are there different brands?
