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.*
