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. The Acai 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 Acai Berry has been consumed by indiginous cultures for many
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 Acai Berry Hype?

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

5. How Much Acai Berry Should I Consume?

6. Is Acai 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 our Acai Berry products 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 Acai Berry 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 Does Acai Berry Keep?

Our Acai Berry 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 Acai 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, Acai Berry is safe whilst being pregnant or breastfeeding. Still, we suggest consulting with your health care practitioner for absolute clarity on the matter.

12. Will Acai Berry Assist With Weight Loss?

The has been much publicity over the years about Acai Berry's ability to assist with weight loss - and plenty of it! The truth is that much of this has been over - hyped. Sites that claim that one can lose pounds per day just by consuming this food are missleading and not to be trusted, as unfortunate as this is. Acai Berry will speed up the metabolism, and if combined with an appropriate overall cut in calories, coupled with an exercise regime - Acai Berry will certainly assist in the overall weight loss program. Do not be fooled by sites that claim amazing weight loss results - weight loss is based upon the simple process of using more caloric energy than the amount of calories taken in. Acai Berry is well known to increase the BMR, and is the perfect adjunct to any weight loss regime.

Just  remember that healthy weight loss takes time - it cannot be forced!

 13. 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.
