Acai may be the world’s most perfect food. This incredible berry that can only found in the Amazon is so densely packed with nutrition, its truly a marvel of nature. Acai has the highest level of antioxidants of any food that’s ever been tested by a long shot. I’m talking double, triple, five-times, even ten-times the antioxidant count of notoriously antioxidant-rich foods like pomegranates, blueberries, cranberries, or dark chocolate. Beyond this awesome antioxidant capacity, there’s still so much more to this super fruit:
- Acai is chalk full of the healthy Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids we need it our diets to lower our risk of heart disease.
- Acai contains 19 of the different amino acids found in the human body (the most found in any fruit!), providing a great source of natural protein.
- Acai is incredibly rich in fiber with 30%-40% of its weight made up of fiber
- Three plant sterols have been identified in Acai. Plant sterols have been proven by science (and approved by the FDA) to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease
- Acai is an excellent source of a wide range of vitamins and minerals including Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, and E.
- Plus, it tastes great! Its got a rich berry and chocolate flavor that is unique and delicious. No wonder it’s becoming a featured ingredient in all sorts of delicious juices, smoothies, snacks, and desserts.
The Amazon is often considered the World’s most amazing region, offering up one-third of all the species found on Earth and producing over 20% of the Earth’s oxygen supply. So I guess its no surprise that it would also offer us Nature’s most perfect food! This is no coincidence as it’s the unique climate of the Amazon (with its equator warmth and sunlight, heavy rainfall, and nutrient packed soil) that gives birth to this ultimate of super foods. As you can tell, I’m pretty excited about the Acai berry…and I’ve done a lot of research to learn all about its amazing health benefits. So if you’re interested in learning more about Acai or want to hear about the terrific product I use everyday to get my fill of Acai, please email me at superacaijuice@gmail.com

[...] I had been contemplating on going “Primal” for a couple of months now. I figured out after a couple of trials, that being primal 100% of the time would not work out for me, with my routine. I therefore decided to start slow. Replace one major meal of the day with a primal meal. That means effectively getting the same amount of carbs but in unprocessed form for the most part. I am going to replace my lunch with primal lunch - all fruits and I am going to boost it with acai berry extract. Acai is being touted as the most anti-oxidant containing fruit and can slow the aging process, help proper functioning of liver, kidneys and has multiple benefits. [...]
