ACAI

Fight Anti-oxidants with this Superfood
Acai (pronounced “ah-sigh-ee”) has been referred to as the “super-supplement”. About the size of a blueberry, acai berries are small, round and dark. They come from the acai palm tree of South America. With the pleasant taste of chocolate and wild berries, they are enjoyed mostly as a juice in health drinks and smoothies, or dried and mixed with foods like granola. Acai has a reputation for promoting health and vitality among Brazilian natives, and is sometimes called a superfood because it is rich in essential fatty acids and two anti-oxidants, Flavonoids and anthocyanins (responsible for its royal purple color). Anti-oxidants lessen the harmful effects of free radicals and may help reduce the risk of some diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.

Açai is commonly used to support good health, especially in the following areas:

•   Cardiovascular Health
•   Weight Management
•   Muscle growth and development
