Organic Freeze Dried Acai Berry - 60 Capsules

 The Benefits of Acai Berry

The Acai Berry has endured considerable media hype over the past few years, namely because this health supplement works - and works well. The acai berry is a powerful antioxidant, antibacterial and anti mutagenic. This ancient berry is also full of essential fatty acids (3, 6 & 9), and is a proven winner for protecting the heart against the ravages of free radical attack.

Additionally, the Acai Berry is rich in powerful anthocyanins, which have proven to be very useful for the eyes, connective tissue, blood vessels and the nervous system. Anthocyanins are a form of antioxidants, and perfectly complement endogenous levels of vitamin C, E and glutothione.

Why Acai?

Although there are many other berry preparations within the marketplace, few can boast  the same nutrient profile of the mighty Acai. Pound for pound, the Acai Berry is one of the most nutrient packed foods in the world. Acai contains vitamins B1, 2 & 3 (Thiamine, Riboflavin & Niacin), vitamin C & E (ascorbic acid & alpha tocopheral), potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium as well as a broad spectrum of essential fatty acids, including the important omega 3, 6 & 9. Unlike other vitamin packed foods, Acai Berry also contains a substantial amount of high quality bio - available protein.

Weight Loss

Perhaps the biggest area that Acai Berry has been noted for in the last few years has been in the area of weight loss, and not without reason. The Acai Berry has thermogenic compounds within its nutrient profile, thus enabling the body to burn body fat preferentially over endogenous blood sugar. When a supplement has thermogenic qualities, it will increase the body's base metabolic rate - thus increasing the rate at which we burn calories.

Additionally, the high levels of soluable fiber found within the Acai berry tends to supress the appetite - a big plus if you find it difficult not to eat when feeling hungry.

Nervous System

The Acai Berry can assist the body against certain neurological conditions by its ability to prevent the nitration of tyrosine. The high level of anthocyanins, also known as Cyanidin-3-glucoside, have been found to slow and sometimes reverse age related neurological issues.

 Eye health / Diabetes

The compound anthocyanin is immensley important to both diabetics and individuals suffering eye sight issues. In both conditions excess sugar within the blood stream is the enemy. Sugar leads to inflamation and leads to the narowing of blood vessels, which adversely effects both the eyes and peripheral vascular system. High levels of anthocyanins in the diet is the answer.
