The acai berry is a grape-like fruit that grows on tall palm trees in the Amazon rainforest. The healing and wellness powers of this fruit are legendary throughout the Amazon River region, and natives of Northern Brazil have had these berries as part of their natural diet for hundreds of years.

Since the health benefits of acai were featured on Oprah and CNN, its popularity has spread from Central America to the United States. Acai berries from Brazil are now being sold in the US in forms of frozen pulp, juice, pills, tea and candy.

Medical research shows that the acai berry contains high levels of antioxidants to help combat free radicals and premature aging. Acai pulp is also rich in vitamins and minerals.

Another enormous health benefit from the acai berry is its high levels of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. Omega fatty acids have been proven to lower bad cholesterol levels while maintaining the good ones. Omega fatty acids are also essential to nervous system development and regeneration.

Acai berries are rich in anthocyanins, an antioxidant that lowers the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The acai pulp has 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins than that of a glass of red wine.

The acai berry is an excellent source of fiber, resulting in a healthier digestive tract. Fiber can also help reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancers.

Amino acid, along with trace minerals, found in the acai berry is essential to muscle contraction and regeneration, and for endurance, strength and muscle development. Acai capsules are, in fact, called energy boosting pills.

Acai berries contain theobromine, which acts as a bronchial dilator to help open air passage ways in the lungs. More efficient oxygen intake increases endurance, strength, and athletic performance.

With 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and twice that of blueberries, the acai berry is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth. Start enjoying the full benefits of true acai.
