The Acai berry may be the number one superfood in the world. Acai is loaded with antioxidants, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids which are rarely found in fruit. The berries also contain an optimal combination of essential amino acids, polyphenols and flavonoids as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and E. This remarkably nutritious berry found in the Amazon Rainforest has been gaining notoriety and was recently featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Our 100% pure organic raw freeze dried Acai is the most potent form of Acai available. The freeze drying process is optimal to retain and preserve the nutrients in Acai due to its naturally high fat content. We take the skin and pulp of the acai berry and dry at -20°C in a vacuum.
The Acai Berry may be the world's most powerful anti-aging food. It is one of the highest rated foods on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) only rivaled by the Goji berry. The ORAC scale is a test developed by USDA researchers out of Tufts University in Boston that measures the antioxidant level in foods. Acai Berries possess an unmatched ability to absorb injurious, free radicals that attack the body and contribute to the aging process and disease. Today, our bodies are constantly being bombarded by free radicals from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides on our fruits and vegetables, the chemicals we clean with, the preservatives in our processed food and on and on. Eating foods high in antioxidants is one way we can help our bodies combat these free radicals and the damage they cause.
Acai also contains the highest concentration of anthocyanins of any food. Anthocyanins have been shown to restore mental function, concentration, memory and mental clarity. They are also known for capillary health which in turn helps with oxygen uptake, sexual performance and the reduction of macular degeneration (vision loss due to aging). Due to their ability to protect the brain from free radical damage and their support of healthy, cellular tissue growth, anthocyanins are reputed to be one of the most valuable anti-aging antioxidants known.
The famous research regarding the "French Paradox" attributes anthocyanins as being the antioxidant that protects the French from heart disease. The French consume large amounts of coffee, nicotine, sugar, white flour and cheese and yet they have a relatively low incidence of heart disease compared to their neighbors in the UK and other European countries. The red wine grape, due to its anthocyanins is what is believed to be responsible for the low incidence of heart disease. The Acai berry has 30 times the anthocyanins levels than red wine.
Cancer, heart disease, diabetes are all known to be metabolic diseases associated with aging. Supplying your body with quality anti-aging antioxidants contained in whole foods like our raw freeze dried Acai Berry Powder, along with a healthy diet and exercise is your first and best line of defense.
