ACAI health benefits


Most people who are concerned about their bodies know about the health benefits of Acai Berry products. They have been used for centuries in South America by ancient medicine men. The people in the United States just started using Acai in the last couple of years, because of several endorsements from celebrities.

There has been a huge rise in obesity and heart disease in the last couple of years in the United States. This is one of the reasons why super foods like the Acai berry have become super popular. Since the berry does not have the greatest taste most people prefer taking it in pill form. The capsule is more concentrated than juice allowing you to get more nutrients.

Taking Acai can help you fight off disease and improve your overall health. Acai products are known to have one of the highest antioxidant ratings of any fruit or vegetable. Acai berry also contains Phytosterols or called plant sterols which has been reported to lower cholesterol. The Federal Drug Administration even approved the following claim about phytosterols: "Foods containing at least 0.4 gram per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8 gram, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."*

If you want to buy an Acai product make sure you buy from a good company that has been well reviewed. I recommend not signing up for a free trial and buying one bottle at a time, so you do not get charged every month after you sign up for a free trial offer.
