With 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and
twice the antioxidants of blueberries, the Brazilian Acai berry (AH-sci-EE) is
considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth.
The health benefits are simply amazing. With
the symmetry of a grape and the size of a giant blueberry, the Acai
fruit tastes a bit like wild raspberry with a hint of grape. Most
people have trouble putting their finger on the taste because it's so
different.
Imagine recovering the youthful energy, vitality and stamina you
experienced in your 20’s. Feel the power of the Amazon from this newly
imported “fountain of youth” supplement. The proven benefits
|
from this amazing berry product are incredible. Clinical studies shows
that the Acai fruit may be the most nutritious and powerful “Super
Fruits” on the planet.
| The Acai Berry is
truly a wonderful plant. Acai Berries grow on an Amazon Palm Tree and
have been prized for hundreds of years by Brazilian natives for their
ability to provide a sense of strength, energy, and a high nutritional
content. Acai Berries are high in essential fatty acids & omegas --
60% Oleic omega 9 - a monounsaturated essential fatty acid which helps
to lower LDL (harmful cholesterol), while maintaining HDL (beneficial
cholesterol). 12% Linoleic (omega 6) - a polyunsaturated essential
fatty acid which has also been found to lower LDL, while maintaining
HDL. Acai also contains many valuable Phytosterols. Sterols are
compounds of plant cell membranes providing numerous benefits to the
Human body, namely the reduction of blood plasma cholesterol. |

The Acai Berry is a dense source of a particular class of
flavonoids called anthocyanins. Acai Berry's ORAC value (a measure of
its antioxidant properties), is higher than any other edible berry on
the planet. The remarkable concentration of antioxidants also helps
combat premature aging and the Acai Berry is also an excellent source
of dietary fiber!
The Acai Palm is a tall slender
South American (concentrated in Brazil, Guyana, Suriname) palm grown
for its fruit as well as for the "cabbage" (the cluster of new leaves
more commonly called the "heart of palm"). It prefers swampy areas, and
grows quickly.
The fronds were (and still are)
used for thatching and weaving. Each Acai palm tree produces small deep
purple, almost black, fruit (berries) in groups of 3-8 per bunch. The
fruit is edible, and its pulp is used in wines, liqueurs, as flavoring,
as colorant, and on its own as a juice.
Current (Western) Use - Acai is
currently being tested not only for its health properties, but as a
dyeing or contrasting agent in the human body in preparation for MRI
scans of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Acai is a dense source of
particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins (red-blue phenols
with potent antioxidant properties).
- Anthocyanins are a group of
phytochemicals in red wine thought to contribute to the "French
paradox", i, e. France has one of the lowest incidences of heart
disease of any westernized society despite a prevalence of smoking and
a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Acai pulp contains 10-30
times the anthocyanins of red wine per equal volume.
- The primary anthocyanin in
.Acai is cyanidin-3 glucoside, Cyanidin-3- glucoside has been found to
be 3.5 times stronger than Trolox (vitamin E analogue) and the
predominate anthocyanin found in red wine (nalvadin-3-glucoside) in an
ORAC analysis (measure of antioxidant capacity)
- Anthocyanins have been found to
"exhibit numerous potential therapeutic effects including treatment of
diabetic retinopathy and fibrocystic disease of the breast in human".
"Other potential physiological effects of anthocyanins include
radiation protective, chemopratective, vasoprotective and
anti-inflammatory agents".
- The fatty acid ratio of Acai
resembles that of olive oil, which is thought to be a contributing
factor to the low incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean
populations.
- 60% Oleic (Omega 9) a
monounsaturated, essential fatty acid, helps lower LDL (harmful
cholesterol) while maintaining HDL, (beneficial cholesterol) levels.
- 12% Linoleic (Omega 6) a
polyunsaturated, essential fatty acid, has been found to lower both LDL
and HL levels.
- Fatty acids aid in the
transport and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins ice. Vitamins A, E, D,
and K.
- Acai contains valuable
phytosterols
- Sterols are components of plant
cell membranes providing numerous benefits to the human body, namely
the reduction of blood plasma cholesterol.
- Greater energy/stamina
- Improved digestion
- Improved Mental Focus
- Better sleep
- Acai has more proteins then an
average egg
- Acai has a high amount of
lipids that give you energy
- It is an all in one
Multi-Vitamin Product
- Improved sexual function
- Acai has been shown to have up
to 33 times the Antocyanine (a powerful Anti-Oxidant) then red wine
grapes
- Acai has a high level of fibers
that is good for elderly and for people who have problems with
digestive organs
- Acai has two essential fatty
acids known as Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) and Omega 9 (Oleic acid).
Research shows that these fatty acids maintain normal cholesterol
levels
- Research has shown that these
Anti-Oxidants help regulate normal cholesterol levels
- Acai's Anti-Oxidant factors
play a large role in maintaining a healthy cardio vascular system
- Acai is one of the richest
nutritive fruits anywhere
- An almost perfect essential
amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital
to proper muscle contractions and regeneration
- More bio-active then liquid
freeze dried versions of Acai
- Very low Sugar content for a
fruit
- Aids in cleansing and
Detoxifying your body
