What is the real story behind Acai Berry and the weight loss power everyone is claiming? Not only have I researched the topic (as I do with all news breaking weight loss and age defying ingredients) but I am trying this for myself as well.
So what is the Acai Berry?
A berry found in the Brazilian rain forest. This berry is categorized as a "super food" or "Super fruit". This means the berry contains an exceptional amount of antioxidants.
What are antioxidants?
These are exactly what they sound like. They combat the damage caused by free radicals in the body. This is directly connected to anti-aging.
What does this have to do with weight loss?
Like green tea, antioxidants are known for increasing metabolism. This was discovered almost by accident by those using antioxidants for its health, heart, and anti aging properties. Suddenly studies were showing these individuals were rapidly losing weight.
So what make Acai different from green tea?
Like vegetables, the darker the green the more the nutrition. Well, with berries, the darker the juice the more antioxidant rich. The Acai berry is the most potent berry to date. Pomegranate would be the second most potent "Super fruit".
What is the scam?
OK, so it has been proved that Acai berry does promote weight loss and I can say I myself have been using it and do notice a difference in energy and appetite control.
What is the catch?
Most the products on the market that claim to be rich with acai antioxidants and therefore effective however in actuality they contain very little of the actual Acai ingredient. When tested you will find these products are typically low grade claiming to be "highly potent". The actual Acai berry extract is expensive and yes, highly potent. But many of these "pure acie" products contain merely sprinkles of the actual ingredient.
How do you know what your getting?
The FDA regulates these products through something called ORAC value. This stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity. The higher the ORAC value the more pure and potent the product.
