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.

+Try Swanson Vitiamins on line. I get the juice from there 9.99 a bottle and they have supplements. I have been taking 3 shot glasses a day only. 1 bottle lasted approx. a week. I have lost about 6 pounds straight from the middle and have not changed anything.

-I had a problem with ordering online and my card was charged for things that I didnt approve. I called the card company and told them what happened and cancelled my card and account and changed everything. Stop the scammers in their tracks.

+My coworker and I are starting to take the acai liquid today. We bought ours froma health food store but I am interested in finding a capsule as the liquid does not taste good at all!

-I ordered a free trial on November 17th, 2008:; Order #1747036. I still haven't received it - the postage charge better not be on my charge card statement.!!!!!!

+I recently bought some acai juice from my local natural food store. I think I spend $7 for a good sized bottle. I am not sure if I will loose weight by drinking the juice, but it tasted alright and I know that it is good for me. I think more people need to worry about being healthy more than just loosing weight

-I too got stuck in the scam of ordering this. I thought it was a free trial where all I pay is shipping and handling, but you will notice many other charges on your credit card!

+I order one myself and it worked!! but I don't want to pay $100 for it so I cancelled it. I now get my 100% ORGANIC ACAI BERRY(CHEMICAL FREE) AT IHERB.COM for less than $20. Less shipping & fast delivery. SEE IT FOR YOURSELF. ALSO, USE coupon VEL819 to get $5 off your first order. By the way, I get the SAMBAZON ACAI BERRY CAPSULS AND POWDER(powder is great for shakes). But there is more to choose from but I preffer get the SAMBAZON BRAND because it curves my appetite, and gives me a lot of energy.

+I was drinking the v8 juice with acai in it and lost about 15 pounds from that. I am assuming that's what it was because I didn't change my diet. I became more "regular" from it too.
posted Dec 1st, 2008 3:15 pmI wouldn't waste my money on diet fads, you can find in in a lot of healthy things at the grocery store.

-This product may work, but when you order it you will receive several erroneous charges to your account. Don't believe that all you pay is shipping on the free trial. It is not true. I am still fighting to stop these various charges. The biggest charge so far has been $89 and several smaller ones. BUYER BEWARE! I would recommend going into a GNC store before ordering this online. This is such a SCAM!

-This is a scam. Free trials are a nightmare. You cannot contact the company and I had to resort to canceling my CC

-I tried this product and I developed rushes and red growths all over my body - especially my face and back.
posted Nov 30th, 2008 9:55 amI suspect that there are others, not so good stuff, added to the acai ....

+It's no wonder they were able to scam most of you. Most of you can't spell or write in complete sentences. It says right there at the bottom that you must cancel within ten days or get charged $80.00. That wasn't a clue to you that you should think again.

-This is supposed to help you lose weight how? It's a nutritious enough food, but vegetables are far more concentrated in phytochemicals than are fruits, and animal products are the far superior source of amino acids. Even ALA and other omega-3 fat can be obtained in denser levels from things like flaxseed, walnuts, shrimp, egg yolk, etc. On top of these facts, there is no scientific evidence that anything within this fruit will positively help one lose weight. There's no such thing as "detoxing" as it's a load of pseudoscience, and pH levels can easily be maintained eating actual human food (meats and vegetables). There is no reason to buy this berry or follow this diet unless it is cheaper than blueberries, which it is not. Avoid.

+I bought mine @ Walgreens for $9.99 or maybe $10.99. Also, there was a Buy one-get one sale when I bought it! I could return the bottle if it didn't work, but it did. It has been aprox. 1 mo and I've lost 15lbs!
