Acai Berry sales have soared big time as many television shows, including Oprah, have praised it for the natural remedy it offers to various problems (especially weight loss).

The Acai plant comes from many different plantations in the Amazon forest, particularly Brazil. Acai berries are among the most nutritious of foods, because it contains more polyphenol antioxidants than green tea, blueberries, cranberries and red wine. Acai berry also has plant sterols, essential fatty acids, fiber, B1, B2, B3, C and E, supplying just as much vitamin C as blueberries and essential minerals: potassium, calcium, copper, magnesium, and zinc.

Natives of Brazil have been using Acai berry for centuries for many different health benefits, as a way to increase energy and stamina, fight heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases.

But equally important is the fact that the Acai Berry is nearly 42% fiber, and contains a high level of Omega 3,6, and 9 fats, both of which are very effective in helping to suppress appetite and prevent snacking between meals. Acai’s anti-oxidant factors play a large role in maintenance of vascular cardiac system, which is important for better blood circulation cleansing and detoxing your body.

Acai is used in many forms in Brazil but acai berry supplements are the most convenient and can be an excellent way to get the benefits of acai berries if proper care is taken in processing. Acai berry products are generally made from the pulp of the acai berry and are available in both powder and capsule form.

The first step to processing the Acai Berries is to separate out the seed, and mash the remaining flesh of the berry into a puree. This Puree retains all of the nutritional benefits of the Acai berry. Acai berries should not have side effects unless used in excessive amounts.
