The “acai berry”, a hot buzz word in the health food industry as of late. The story of this little “superfood” does read a bit like a comic book, from its mysterious beginnings deep in the Amazon rainforest to it’s long list of amazing beneficial properties. Studies show that this little berry is destined to be a lifesaving hero.

It’s most famous property is its incredible antioxidant powers. This can help counteract the damage caused by free radicals which is known to contribute to conditions such as cancer, heart disease, macular degeneration, and Alzheimers.

In addition, it has quite a team of terrific sidekick qualities such as a high protein and vitamin content, they also have amino acids and are rich in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. These factors help with metabolism and energy levels, making it a wonderful weight loss and athletic training supplement.

In their fresh fruit form, these nutritional powerhouses have poor shelf life. Since the berries spoil quickly once harvested, they are often freeze dried and put into powder form for supplementation.

Whether you are looking primarily for a weight loss aid, a free radical detox, a preventative medicinal effect or simply a healthy addition to your existing diet, it seems acai’s the guy to call. It will be a great choice, whatever the reason you choose to use an acai berry supplement.
