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.

-I was about to try the free trial and i entered all my information in but then i decided to read the agreement and all of a sudden, i recieved a phone call from them saying that I have not completed the free trial form...they wanted to help me complete the form. She sounded very anxious to get me to sign up for it but i told her i'll sign up when i'm ready to order. Then i thought to myself...i haven't even submit the form yet but she got my number.....since she was able to get my number, she would be able to get my credit card information so i have to call my credit card company to cancel my card and send me a new. I hope this helps.

-IMPORTANT!!!!
posted May 21st, 2009 4:23 amI tried the free trial (Extreme Acai)�?�
I am about 15-20lbs over weight. I don�??t eat a lot at ALL (everyone always asks me how I survive off the amounts I eat per day) but what I do eat is fairly high in sugar + carbs..etc. I wanted to get maximum results with my new exercise regemine so I decided to try the Acia berry fad.
RESULTS?
Well I tried the free trial, I read EVERY LITTLE BIT of small print that was available AND had my father look over it too to make sure I wasn�??t missing anything because in my opinion, it would be illegal for them to leave out any strings attached. Both him and I saw nothing mentioned besides the fact that if you don�??t call within a certain amount of days, you will get charged and sent the next months worth (which is a phone call so I figured sure why not!?). So I paid the shipping and ordered the stuff..
I got the bottle, called to cancel the rest and couldn�??t get through. I tried everyday.. meanwhile, taking the pills while working out on a daily basis. I felt nothing and started taking an extra half more than I was supposed to along with the exercise. I still felt nothing and also saw no results. I began starting to think it was a placebo or something�?�
At the end of the bottle, I had lost almost a pound which can be attributed to water weight because I weighed myself in the morning before eating/drinking throughout the day�?�
What else? I STILL after calling everyday hadn�??t gotten a hold of them to cancel it. Then all of the sudden the next day, I receive an order of it in the mail~!! I run to the computer, check my credit card statement and saw that the day I ordered it, I was charged for the shipping like mentioned, but what WASN�??T mentioned was that I was also signed up for some gym place that I�??ve never heard of for and $80 membership!!!! I was also charged for a whole months supply of the pills that I had received that day because I couldn�??t get a hold of them to cancel. When I would call it was the SAME thing every time; I would get put on hold, I would put it on speaker and watch TV and after about a half an hour, it would just disconnect!! So now I had almost $200 charged when it was supposed to be $6something for shipping and hadn�??t lost a pound of weight!!!!
I finally called the credit card company and told them it was fraud, had the charges dropped and blocked those 2 companies from ever charging me again for further stuff because I couldn�??t call them to cancel it myself. I had the left over months supply and wasn�??t going to spend another dime sending it back because it was THEIR mistake so I ate them! I used more than I was supposed to so I went through it very fast and at the end, I STILL didn�??t loose any weight.
Final verdict?? It�??s a SCAM!
It�??s a scam in one way because you get charged a bunch of crap and they have no customer service (literally).
And it�??s a scam in another way because after all of that, you still don�??t loose weight!
I finally did a bunch of research and instead of listening to fad crap, I looked at actual CLINICAL TRIALS (nih.gov..etc). After that, I looked at real ratings of current OTC diet pills that had good results and look at the ingredients. After comparing the clinical trial results with the rating ingredients, I came up with a list of the top 10 best natural supplements one can take to loose weight without side effects (I hate nervousness and stuff). I just ordered them from an online supplier, ended up spending less than $200 for a months worth of ALL of them put together, and I KNOW I�??m going to get results. Why buy acia when you can buy this stuff? Look at google and see the thousands and thousands of websites talking about the acai scam. Don�??t fall for it folks�?� Buy something cheaper that works better!
Also, if you do a search on �??best rated diet pill reviews�?�, about 95% of all the different pages have Apidexin as the #1 and the rest have it in the top 3. So I suggest Apidexin from what I�??ve read and heard from other nonbiased users and meanwhile, I�??m going to take my herbs because I can�??t take anything that increases energy..etc because of my epilepsy =)

-I've been trying this product for quite sometime now and I've lost 10 pounds already...I've been exercising. The only problem is that I've been doing some research of my own, and I soon realized that the testimonial story that they have on the acai berry website is the same testimonial for all the other acai berry websites. The only difference is they use a different picture and a use the state and town that you are from to show you that anyone can use the product. I did some more research and found out that Oprah and Rachel Ray advertised the acai berry wine or the drink considering it as antioxidants NOT as a diet product. As I watched the videos from these shows, I was absolutely amazed. Please don't waste your money on a product like this.

OMG, I'm so glad I read all your comments!! I was ready to place my "free" order today and just before I put my credit card # in the order box, I read the fine print regarding billing my credit card next month, 78.00!!! Thanks so much for the comments. What a SCAM!!

-This was a mistake to order Acai Burn! Not only did the diet pill not work, AT ALL, but it was such a hastle to cancel the order. The "free sample" was not free and I was charged the full amount. Even after I cancelled my account, I was still getting charged. When I signed up for the diet supplement, I signed up for other things that I was not aware of. It has been three months since I cancelled with Acai Burn and I'm still getting random charges and having to cancel things I didn't even know I ordered. I thought I was ordering 1 bottle of diet pills to see how they worked. What a mistake!!! Don't waste your time or money...the entire thing is a SCAM!!

-I never had a chance to try it. Once I saw a charge of $79.99 on my credit card, I called
posted May 8th, 2009 7:12 pmand canceled. It never said you'll be billed
mon!thly. All it said was a free trial for the
acai berry, and a free trial for the colon cleanse.
Fortunately, I got to them just in time! But I
really feel for those young people who are
desperate, and hoing that this will really
work, only to find out it was a rip off the
whole time. My advise is don't go for it.
Those people up there who said it worked
and lost a million pounds, work for the acai
berry industry. Save your money. Exercise,
cut out the carbs. Eat sensibly. You'll be
all right!

-I didn't receive the bottle until after the free trial, so I was charged $85 for the trial bottle that was supposed to be free. I tried to cancel the acount three times and now am going to have to deal with my bank to get this reversed.
