Acai Supplements – A Powerful Anti-Aging Force
Taking acai supplements is a good way to supply your body with the antioxidants it needs to fight free radical damage.
As you may be aware, free radicals do to your body what rust does to metal. They damage cells, leaving you more susceptible to age related illnesses and wrinkles.
Unfortunately, many people eat foods high in unhealthy fat and sugars, both of which are unable to provide the antioxidants necessary to battle free radicals.
The Brazilian acai fruit is high in antioxidants but it isn’t grown in North America or in other regions of the world. Therefore by taking acai in carefully converted juice, pill or powder form, you’ll be providing your body with high amounts of powerful antioxidants.
Take a look at the nutritional profile and some of the benefits of acai berry:
1. Acai berries is a huge source of anthocyanin antioxidants. As a matter of fact, on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), it has about 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and twice that of blueberries and 10-30 times that of red wine.
The higher the ORAC, the better a substance can fight free radicals. Anthocyanins can help maintain a healthy heart, fight cancer and improve circulation.
Considering that the USDA recommends that people get between 300-5000 ORAC daily and that most people get around 1000 ORAC or lower, you can see how antioxidant deficiency is a serious matter. A regular dose of an acai supplement (2 capsules) may supply at least 3000 ORAC daily.
2. Acai contains an amino acid complex that promotes stamina, endurance and muscle strength.
3. Acai berries are a good source dietary fiber which helps promotes a healthy digestive system.
4. Acai contains essential fatty acids which are important to cardiovascular health and a well functioning nervous system
5. The Brazilian acai fruit is a good source of vitamin and minerals such as Vitamin A,B1, B2,C, E and calcium, magnesium and zinc.
It is for these reasons and many more why many Hollywood celebrities, famous sportsmen and doctors endorse this nutritional supplement.
But buyer beware – there are acai berry scams both online and offline. These suppliers make false claims and/or engage in questionable marketing tactics. This all started when the acai got a big push on Oprah and was labeled a superfood. So perform your due diligence before spending out your hard-earned money.
That aside, whether you take acai juice, the powder or the pill, good quality Brazilian acai berry is a powerful addition to your diet.
