Has anyone used acai berry supplements and had good results? Was it weight loss or immune system improvement?

I’ve just started reading up on it, and I’m hearing lots of good and some bad. What I want to know is, does it work? I’ve already figured out not to order it online because of all the scams. Is there any in stores that would be reputable? Or would I need to order from Amazon or something like it?

  1. Anyone that tells you Acai helps with weight loss is plain trying to scam you. Acai does not help with weight loss. What it does do is provide your body with antioxidants in large doses which may help you over time fight off disease and cancers.

    With 15 times the antioxidants of grapes and twice the antioxidants of blueberries, the Brazilian Acai berry (AH-sci-EE) is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth. With the symmetry of a grape and the size of a giant blueberry, the Acai fruit tastes a bit like wild raspberry with a hint of grape. Most people have trouble putting their finger on the taste because it’s so different.

    The Acai Berry is a dense source of a particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins. Acai Berry’s ORAC value (a measure of its antioxidant properties), is higher than any other edible berry on the planet.

    The Acai Palm is a tall slender South American (concentrated in Brazil, Guyana, Suriname) palm grown for its fruit as well as for the “cabbage” (the cluster of new leaves more commonly called the “heart of palm”). It prefers swampy areas, and grows quickly. The fronds were (and still are) used for thatching and weaving. Each Acai palm tree produces small deep purple, almost black, fruit (berries) in groups of 3-8 per bunch. The fruit is edible, and its pulp is used in wines, liqueurs, as flavoring, as colorant, and on its own as a juice.
