Today’s popular super food, the acai berry, has been a major healing factor since the earliest days of herbal medicine in the Rainforests of Brazil. First harvested there from a variety of palm tree, the small dark purple berry with the scientific name of Euterpe Oleracea, has been used to treat and cure a multitude of varied diseases and health conditions. In Brazil, the pulp of the acai berry is still ingested directly by consumers as a powerful bodily energizer, detoxifier, and healing agent. Meanwhile, western culture has popularized the usage of the acai berry—in pure organic berry, pulp or juice form, and as an active ingredient in many health food and supplement products. The acai berry is often found in such popular health-enhancing products as organic ice cream, energy drinks, energy bars and granola. In addition, health-conscious consumers worldwide have also popularized use of acai berries in their more basic and effective naturally occurring forms of pulp, juice, powder, or the whole berries unaltered.
Claimed to be, “the most perfect food on the planet” by numerous medical doctors, the acai berry in its many states and product types is now hailed as an extremely efficient and powerful organic multi-vitamin in today’s health food products market. With its rich content of antioxidants, the acai berry is an incorrigible and highly successful combatant of free radical damage in the body. A comprehensive improvement in both physical and mental functioning is facilitated by its high degree of lipid content. With its high levels of natural fiber, the acai berry serves as the very best complete body cleansing and detoxifying agent available, even promoting increased bodily energy levels as it purifies.
Astoundingly, more protein than is contained by one egg can be found in a single normal serving of acai fruit. Another significant fact is that the Amazon acai berry is an all-inclusive vitamin product. The acai berry not only contains the health-promoting minerals of iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium—it is also enriched by high levels of vitamins B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), E (Tocopheral), and Vitamin C. Offering more than 30 times the levels of anthocyanins (high power antioxidants) found in red wine grapes, acai berries contain twice the number of antioxidants common in blueberries. These antioxidants are vital for promoting and stabilizing a healthy cardiovascular system which supports excellent blood circulation. Products of the acai berry are a great help in promoting robust muscle health and functioning since they are extremely rich in amino acids and essential trace minerals. As an unchallenged super food with the composition of an extremely powerful multi-vitamin, the acai berry’s abilities as a bodily healer, energizer, cleanser and detoxifier have proven its immense value in today’s health products market.
