As with all other fruits, the acai berry in its purest form provides the body with vitamins and minerals that are essential to good health. But because the acai fruit is highly perishable, it has become impossible to avail of fresh berries outside of South America. In the United States, the acai is being sold on the market in forms of juice drinks, energy bars, smoothies and supplementary pills. And anyone taking these concoctions, especially those with heart disease, should be wary of mixing these acai products with their medication.

Energy drinks

Some acai berry products contain guarana, an ingredient commonly mixed with carbonated soft drinks, energy shots and herbal tea in Brazil.  Often used as a stimulant and appetite suppressant, guarana contains caffeine that’s a whopping five times as much as that in coffee. And any side effect related to caffeine will manifest itself in these acai berry drinks.

Diet Pills

Acai berries may cause you to lose appetite. While this is not a negative side effect for those who want to lose weight, acai-based diet pills should be taken with precaution. Many of these weight loss supplements contain very little acai and a lot of other ingredients that may have harmful side effects. Some of the reported side effects from these acai-based products include nausea, heart burn, indigestion, and headache or migraines. Consuming acai berries in large quantities can result in messy stool or acidic taste in the mouth due to excess in vitamin C and vitamin E. So the golden rule is to take everything in moderation. Before purchasing any energy drink or diet pill, always read the label. Stick to products that contain 100% pure acai to get all of the positive health and weight loss benefits and none of the harmful ingredients or side effects.

Your best bet is to buy acai berry products from reliable distributors which only sell juice and supplements made of true acai.
