The acai berry is an anomaly among fruits. It is perhaps the most nutritious and powerful fruit ever discovered.


What does it contain?

  • A protein profile similar to an egg
  • A fatty acid profile similar to olive oil
  • The leading source of anthocyanins
  • High fiber with a low glycemic index
  • More than 16 phytonutrients and antioxidants
  • Copious amounts of trace minerals and macrominerals
  • Plant sterols*, particularly one that helps to lower cholesterol

    * Sterols are parts of plant cell membranes delivering many benefits to the human body, mainly the decrease of blood plasma cholesterol.

    The acai berry is loaded with vitamins, minerals, it contains every amino acid known to man - essential and non-essential, it has omega 3 fatty acids and little known omega 9 fatty acids. The acai berry boosts the body’s immune system and provides it with protection from free radical damage.

    It is because of all these nutrients and properties that Acai berry is considered to be one of the most concentrated forms of fruit nutrients.

    People can live on the acai berry as the only source of nutrition for more than six months and show no signs of malnutrition.

    In Brazil, acai juice is fed to babies if their mothers have a problem with their breast milk.
