"Acai Berry"
"The Super Antioxidant Berry from the Amazon Rain Forest"

The Açaí (ah-sigh–ee) is a high-energy berry harvested on co-op farms from a special Amazon palm tree.

The Acai berry is considered by many as the new "Super Food". Acai has higher amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin E than any other fruit.

Acai has more than 10 times the amount of antioxidants than red grapes, and up to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. The antioxidants also help combat premature aging as well as fight high cholesterol, macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and varicose veins. Acai’s nearly perfect essential amino acid complex, in conjunction with trace minerals, are vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.

Acai also contains essential fatty acids to help lower cholesterol & prolong brain health

Below is a very impressive list of nutrients contained in Acai:

• Amino Acids
• Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9)
  Acai contains both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids which are essential to good health and metabolic functions. Acai berries contain the essential fatty acids, which are essential for our bodies to function. Fatty acids help lower HDL cholesterol and help maintain HDL cholesterol levels as well as increase the absorption of fat soluble vitamins A, E, D, and K.
• B-Vitamins
• Beta-Carotene
  The beta-carotene in the açaí berry helps with vision, healthy skin, and reproduction. Beta-carotene is a term for hundreds of carotenoids that destroy free-radicals. Studies have shown that diets rich in beta-carotene are connected to lower risks of cancers of the breast, cervix, lungs, skin, and stomach. They also reduce cardiovascular risks and eye cataracts.
• Boron
• Calcium
• Chromium
• Copper
• Fiber
  Acai is a good source of dietary fiber which helps in the health of the colon as well as lowering risks of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Fiber also decreases cholesterol levels and obesity.
• Folate
• Iodine
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Manganese
• Molybdenum
• Potassium
  Acai contains potassium which is important for normal blood pressure, heart function, and reduction of strokes. Potassium also aids in the regulation of muscle contraction and nerve cell function.
