As soon as the massive health benefits of the Acai berry started to be discovered, health & food supplement companies worked fast to produce an Acai berry supplement.
The problem was, most companies just choose the cheapest supplier for their Acai berry, with absolutely no concern for their quality, effectiveness, or sourcing.
As the Acai berry comes from the Amazon, manufacturers use different ways to ship them to their manufacturing plants to be made up in to supplements.
As well as the commonly produced Acai berry powder supplements, other methods of production (spray-dried and extracts) are also available ... having major drawbacks.
Spray Dried Acai ?
Depending on who you buy your Acai berry supplements from, you may well buy spray-dried Acai. By heating the Acai berry at high temperatures, the water content is taken out - dehydrated. Next, the Acai is sprayed with food additives such as maltodextrin to help preserve it.
For starters, you are getting fewer nutrients because of the destructive properties of the high temperature treatment. Additionally, the drying of the Acai using other substances taints the potency of the final product, which will contain high amounts of other ingredients.
Usually, a spray dried Acai berry supplement claiming to contain 500mg of Acai berry per capsule typically delivers only 300mg of actual Acai.
Acai Extracts ?
You'll have been offered Acai berry extracts. The very concept of an Acai berry extract is all too self-defeating, as it's the whole Acai berry skin and pulp that is giving you the health benefits you want - not simply the fruit pulp extract.
Then you have a further problem that many extracts are actually made with spray-dried Acai!
Spray-dried Acai typically has an ORAC value of less than 50 times that of freeze-dried products. Even if a label says "4:1" or "super-concentrated," you're still getting less $ for $ than freeze-dried Acai.
Freeze-dried Acai !
As ORAC scoring is the most effective way of proving the efficacy of Acai, freeze-dried Acai is tops.
Freeze-dried Acai berry contains one of the highest ORAC scores – 34,000 for every 100 grams of powder.
Weight for weight, 100 grams of freeze-dried Acai has a higher ORAC score to fresh Acai ... this is because one gram of freeze-dried Acai powder is equivalent to around six grams of fresh Acai berry.
The ability to control oxygen free radicals is expressed through an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) number. The higher the ORAC number equals stronger antioxidant content.
The importance of foods with high ORAC values, is based on early findings revealing that eating foods with a high ORAC score may slow down the oxidation processes linked to aging.
It is believed that antioxidant-rich foods have the power to ease negative
changes the body and brain go throught due to natural aging.
Many middle-aged (and younger) are starting to iincrease the number of high-ORAC foods in their diet in hopes of combating the diseases and illnesses associated with getting older.
Other benefits connected to high ORAC values include:
So, in order to reap these benefits, a diet high in foods with a high ORAC number is recommended. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) suggests a daily intake of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units.
Unfortunately, the average person in the United States only consumes less than 1,000 ORAC units per day.
In fact, the recommended "5 a day" fruit and vegetable requirement established by the USDA generally only delivers an ORAC score of less than 1,750 units.
Common popular fruits, such as the apple and banana respectively provide an ORAC score of 218 and 221. The blueberry is considered one of the healthiest berries in the world and offers an ORAC score of 2,400.
However, when it comes to the Acai berry, the fruit holds an impressive ORAC score of 5,500.
This is why it is vital to only get properly processed Acai products such as freeze-dried, to guarantee you are gettng the most health benefits possible.
The health benefits of the Acai berry go far beyond just a hearty supply of antioxidants and a top ORAC score.
The Acai berry contains a high level of anthocyanins, which help conserve the level of antioxidants in foods after they are eaten. While red wine contains a high level of anthocyanins, the Acai berry actually provide 10 to 30 times more.
The
Acai berry is rich in omega fats, offering a healthy dose of
unsaturated fats including Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9.
The Acai berry is an outstanding source of fiber which may help combat colon cancer and improve regularity. For every 100 grams of Acai berry, nearly 45 grams of fiber are supplied.
Acai berries have a high content of amino acids and protein as well. The berries contain 19 different amino acids – the building blocks of the more than 8 grams of protein found in a 100-gram serving of Acai.
and the list of health boosting benefits goes on ...
A superfood is a food that weight for weight gives you an abundance of healthy and essential nutrients.
Most superfoods are fruits and vegetables (though you may be surprised to know that chocolate, tea and oatmeal are superfoods). Their main recognizable benefits are that they supply anti-oxidants, omega fats and essential health supporting minerals and vitamins.
You get the most benefits when you 'combine' superfoods, enjoying several together as part of your daily diet. This actually increases the individual benefits of each superfood, boosting the nutrient absorption and benefit of each.
So superfoods may help you by ...

Here are some excerpts from his book "The Perricone Promise":
"It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açaí is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rain forests of Brazil, açaí tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature’s perfect energy fruit. Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Although açaí may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it, often in juice form, in several health food and gourmet stores.”
“Açaí fruit has more antioxidants than wild blueberries, pomegranates or red wine, along with essential omegas (healthy fats), amino acids, calcium and fiber.“
