What are acai berries?

Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berries, found in the Brazilian rain forest, have been used for thousands of years to promote overall health, energy and vitality.* They’re abundant in compounds known as anthocyanins, natural pigments responsible for the berry’s deep purple coloring and antioxidant properties.*

Phytochemical and nutrient component analysis have demonstrated acai berries have a low-sugar content and contain lipids, with unsaturated fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acids), phytosterols (ß-sitosterol) and dietary fiber.*

How do acai berries support health?

• Consumption of acai juice or pulp by healthy human volunteers has been shown to cause a significant increase in plasma antioxidant activity.*
• Scientific evidence has shown that acai extract possessed noticeable activity against superoxide, and highest activity of any food reported to date against the peroxyl radical, when measured by the oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay (ORACFL).*
