1.What is the Acai Berry?

 

The Acai Berry (pronounced Ah_Sigh_Eee) is a small berry that
grows on the Acai palm tree, and is indiginous to the amazon
region of South America. This Berry is a small fruit that is in
fact mostly seed - 90% seed in fact. This berry is a deep purple
colour, and has been described as having a taste that is crossed
between chocolate and red wine.

The fruit of this palm has been consumed by indiginous cultures for
thousands of years, and only recently has it become popular in the
west. This berry is very versatile, and is now found in many
supplements and food products.
 The Acai Berry is considered by many
to be a complete food, with an almost perfect balance of nutrition,
antioxidants and taste!

 

2. Why about all of the Hype?

The Oprah show was largely responsible for much of the notoriety -
before this very few people knew anything about this fruit! Much of
what has been claimed about this Berry's ability to shed enormous
amounts of fat from one's body is simply not true, but
as far as a nutritional supplement goes,
the Acai Berry has few peers
that can boast such a broad spectrum of nutritional support

The ORAC value of a food is its capacity to remove free radicals from the body - commonly known as Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. As much of the food we commonly consume are low in antioxidants - it is super important to ensure we get enough otherwise accelarated tissue breakdown occurs, (henceforth aging!).

5. How Much of this Product Should I Consume?

 

Health Made Easy...Since Acai is a food, there really is no limit to the amount you can consume. This food was a staple for many indiginous cultures for thousands of years, and was eaten daily to provide a greater sense of wellbeing and stamina to the individual. Many who use our Acai products report back saying that they use this supplement as the core ingredient in power shakes, and have 1 - 2 of these a day as a conventional meal replacement program. Since Acai has a unique property of providing a feeling of satiety and fullness after eating, many report that they no longer feel the need to eat as much food as they once did. Learn more... 


6. Is this Berry Considered to be a Medicine?

The simple answer is no, Acai Berry is not a medicine. Many of us associate any substance that is found within a capsule to be a medicine, but in this case the capsule is just a delivery mechanism for a super nutritious food. 

7. What is Best for Me - Acai Powder or Capsules?

Well, this depends upon preference and convenience. If you lead a busy life, and do not have time to allocate towards preparing Acai - based powder foods, then the capsules are perhaps a better choice. On the other hand, if you are planning on making Acai Berry the basis of a meal replacement program, or just simply using the powder as a great tasting super supplement - then the powder option is the better alternative. We suggest keeping a supply of both - once you begin your journey with Acai, it is hard to stop!


  8. What is the Recommended Serving?

This really comes down to preference again - as Acai is a food and not a medicine, one can consume as much as they like. We suggest using between 2 - 3 scoops of Acai powder (10 - 15 grams) each serving, as this provides the body with a big hit of nutrition. Acai is virtually a complete food, and has a broad nutritional profile - with a healthy balance of bio - available protein, quality essential omega fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and soluable fiber.

Many who use these superfoods report back to us that a most pleasant side effect of consuming a liberal amount of Acai each day is the regularity of their bowel movements - more important to the health of an individual than most of us realize!

9. Will this supplement Contravene any Medication that I May be Using?

No, since Acai is a food, there are no known contraventions between one's pharmaceutical medication and the Acai Berry. But as with anything requiring further clarification about one's health, it is always advisable to consult your doctor.

10. How Long Will it Keep Fresh?

Our Acai products have a shelf life of 18 months unopened - and then approximately one month once opened. Obviously Acai will keep longer than this, but we suggest that in order to maintain freshness and maximum bio activity, it is best to consume within this period. If possible, keep the powder / capsules refridgerated and cool - as this will ensure the integrity of the product is maintained.

 11. Can I consume Acai Whilst Pregnant? 

During pregnancy, there is an increased requirement for quality nutrition that contains a broad spectrum of micronutrients - so yes, this food is safe whilst being pregnant or breastfeeding. Still, we suggest consulting with your health care practitioner for absolute clarity on the matter.

 12. What is the Shelf Life of Acai?

As a general rule of thumb your our Acai products have a shelf life of approximately 18 - 24 months whilst unopened. Always be sure to keep your Acai in a cool environment, and refridgerate when opened.
