Question

Does Acai really work? What is the best way to get it?

Answer 1

You have made a good choice by looking into acai. Let me tell you what I recommend, and then I'll tell you why...

I recommend you get a free trial of Extreme Acai from the source link below. This is the product I use, and honestly I feel better every day. If you don't like it, just don't reorder it... but you'll like it. =)

Now let me tell you why I recommend Extreme Acai over all other acai supplements...

I have heard that there are some side effects with some of the other acai supplements. Those that are specifically meant to 'cleanse' can sometimes make you visit the bathroom more often than usual, and some people reported some abdominal discomfort such as cramping and bloating. If you stick with Extreme Acai you will be able to avoid all this.

Acai berries have far more antioxidants than any other fruit. Even more than blueberries! Besides that, the nutrients in acai berry supplements help many other diseases and maladies, from diabetes to arthritis to blood clotting. It really is a worthwhile supplement to add to your daily nutrition.

Acai can also be a great weight loss aid. The berry’s natural concoction of essential fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols and amino acids work together to help your body burn fat more efficiently, process food more quickly and shed the unwanted pounds that you’d like to lose.

The fatty acids and amino acids aid in both muscle development and proper digestion, both of which are essential to fat loss. The fiber helps your body to move food out of your system quicker and also to help you feel full, as do fatty acids. Phytosterols help fortify your digestive tract, moving waste materials out and absorbing nutrients more efficiently.

Acai has great anti-aging benefits, will cleanse and detoxify you, and has destroyed cancer cells in recent studies. You really can't go wrong by adding an acai supplement to your daily vitamin regimen. So far it's working for me by helping my digestion, curbing my appetite, and by giving me more energy each day... I don't even get sleepy around 3pm anymore.

Again, I would avoid any 'cleansing' type supplements, even if they are acai-based. Just stick with a regular 100% acai supplement like Extreme Acai and you will be cleansed just like you want. Try the free trial at the link below. I haven't tried gaming the system yet, but I've heard there's a way to get a couple free trials by using different order information... maybe you can get a couple months worth of free trials all in one shot.

Answer 2

well I'm sure that it does. It's not a miracle fruit.  It works as an anti-oxidant.  Look @ the vitamins that is it in.

At this point, the only way to get it is in Capsule form and Juice form.  The fruit is not available for retail sale yet.

Answer 3

Acai has received a lot of publicity (even from Oprah!) as a superfood. What concerns me though is that Acai is a berry from Brazil. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way in the US to get the berries in their natural form. What is being sold here are capsules, powders, and smoothies mixed in with other products. Some companies sell the pulp from the berries, which is claimed to be the most potent way to take Acai (at least in the US).

I'm sure the Acai berries are very nutritious, but I am less certain about the capsules, etc., even the pulp. You can check the internet to see if there is much scientific research that shows that these smoothies, etc. have benefit. A huge industry has been built around Acai, so if you find any research, make sure it is not some c**p that was financially supported by an Acai company.

As other answerers said, there's no single magic food. Make sure to have a diet filled with fresh fruits, veggies, etc. Maybe Acai can be a good supplement to your regular diet.

Here is some info I got from the internet:

The acai berry is loaded with antioxidants, amino acids, essential omegas, fibers and protein. Some of the health benefits associated with the acai berry are: increase in sustained energy, help with healthy cholesterol management, improvement of digestive system, and strengthening immune system.  

Answer 4

Acai has been called the world's number one superfood.  It is close to the world's most perfect food because it is loaded with antioxidants, phytonutrients, omega fatty acids, essential amino acids and fiber.  The best way to get it is with Mona Vie because of their patented freeze drying process.  No other acai product will give you as high of a level of antioxidants combined with the other fruits from across the color spectrum and plant derived glucosamine for joint health.  Mona Vie's freeze drying process stabilizes the nutrition so that it can be brought to the US and distributed.  Juicing fruit you buy at the store won't have the same effect because fruit is picked before it is ripe and then continues to lose nutritional value on its way to market.  This product and company are the real deal.

Answer 5

Two apples have the same benefits as a cup of the $50 Acai juice.

Just do your own juicing and be done with it.

Answer 6

As Pete said the vitamins and minerals in it are probably helpful as anti oxidants. So are many readily available fruits and vegetables though. No one food is the magic bullet. Just eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and you wont miss anything.
