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.

Acai?

-All fruits and veggies are best in their natural form, not in a pill. I've been drinking Acai in organic smoothies from Wild Oats for the last 2 years, and it's great! I recently found at the grocery store (not health food store) Bossa Nova Acai Juice, it's a little expensive, but worth it! They don't add any preservatives or sugars (which almost all other juices do, including v8 which claims to be 100% acai juice...read the ingredients...it's not!). I highly recommend drinking a cup of Bossa Nova Acai a day to lose weight, while working out and on a low-sugar diet.

-I did the stupid "trial" and after 10 days of not receiving it I called & was able to get through 1st & cancel the order. The next day the trial order came in so I took the pills no biggee. Second day I took the pills again and SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION! Guess I won't take anymore of those. Any ideas on where to get ACAI drinks or something not like the supplement! Would love to see if I am allergice to the ACAI berry itself of the processing of it with the other ingredients.

-The 'Acai Berry Diet Pill' is the scam of the century.

There is no magic pill for weight loss. Do not give your cc info to these con artists. If you thought the Nigerigan phishing scams were bad, this tops them.

+I haven't tried it yet, but if they continue to charge you for the pills, call your credit card company and tell them you didn't authorize the charge. Hopefully that'll work.

+I was at Wal Mart grocery shopping and my husband threw V8 Splash on my list. They had tons of different kinds so I just put one in the cart. As it turned out it was 100% acai berry juice. It was only $4. I had never even heard of the stuff until I brought it home and my hubby asked why I got "that diet stuff" I haven't tried just letting people know they can find it at the grocery from the company that makes V8.

+I've been buying acai frozen puree from a local organic health food store called The Health Shoppe....a company called Sambazon makes this product and it comes in frozen packs that you can make smoothies out of... Well within a matter of a week after drinking the product, my skin was glowing and I had so much energy...I haven't heard of AcaiPure before, but if it has Acai power in it, it should work fine...Anyways I definitely recommend any Acai product to everyone!

-Reading these thumbs up reviews are sketchy. Sounds like your scammers are trying to scam you into the pros of this.

posted Oct 23rd, 2008 7:05 amBEFORE you've filled in your credit card details READ THE SMALL PRINT
Unless you call them to cancel they will bill your credit card every month...........
Ain't good
still fat
-definitely a scam. You have to cancel every month or they charge your credit card. They only give you 14 days of free trial from when you order it, it's been 8 days and have not received it, either way I am out $89.00

-What you want is the advertising! That you can lose all this weight FAST! Just do it yourself! They take alot of money from you! Its NOT the price they say it is. Now I have to keep calling and calling to CANCEL it before they charge my ACCOUNT every 30 days! Its NOT worth it! Just letting you know before you do what I did!!

-i am so furious! i haven't even recieved the diet pills yet, but after reading TWO reviews on here i would NEVER have known that they were going to keep charging MY ACCT!!!!!!!! This is fraud! if you dont read the fine print you will be robbed! its not just the s&h you are paying for! plus like they say. its NOT a miracle pill! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!! HA!!!!

-The Acai diet does not sound as though it is the right way to lose weight. People need to be educated on the way the body burns fat and carbs. The acai berry is a great antioxidant and is also found in the Matol Catechin drink. If you want it you can order it. So much healthier then this

+You can get Acai Berry at WALMART!!!
posted Oct 20th, 2008 3:00 amDo NOT buy it for more than 10 dollars in pill supplement form or you are wasting your money!!!!
It is a berry which is food, so just think of it as a super healthy food you are eating in conjuction with eating healthy portions of food and exercising!
val
+i agree with cyndi that nothing is free! buyer beware and read the terms and conditions. With that said I have been eating acai for breakfast every morning (i can afford it) and i feel great. It is an amazing berry!

-i just wanted to warn everybody that all of these websites that offer a free or low cost shipping for the trial bottle are always followed by autoship & continue to take $$ out of your account. it is stated on the bottom of the page in the TERMS & POLICY. be sure to always check it out!! Good luck!!
