About Product

The Acai Berry, scientifically known as Euterpe Oleracea, is a superfruit indigenous to the Amazon Rainforest. This freeze-dried organic powder is rich in anthocyanins, a 30 times more potent class of antioxidants than those found in red wine (Rocha et al., 2007). The World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have acknowledged its nutritional profile, which includes essential fatty acids Omega 6 and Omega 9, rarely found in fruits. Additionally, it contains a spectrum of essential amino acids and minerals like iron, magnesium, and calcium (Schauss et al., 2006). This product undergoes a meticulous freeze-drying process to preserve its nutrient density, making it a valuable addition to nutraceutical applications.

Some research suggests that Acai Berries may contain the following constituents:

Polyphenolic Anthocyanins: resveratrol, cyanidin-3-galactoside, ferulic acid, delphinidin, petunidin
Proanthocyanidin Tannins: epicatechin, protocatechuic acid, and ellagic acid
Vitamins: A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, E, K
Nutrients: Biotin, Boron, Chromium, Copper, Folic Acid, Inositol, Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Pantothenic Acid, Selenium, and Zinc
Essential Amino Acids: Lysine, Leucine, Tryptophan, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Valine, Cystine
Non-Essential Amino Acids: Histidine, Glycine, Arginine, Alanine, Serine, Tyrosine, Aspartate, Glutamate, Proline, Hydroxyproline

This product is 100% natural and minimally processed: Taste, smell, texture, and color vary from batch to batch.

Suggested Use: Mix one tablespoon with juice and yogurt or add to your favorite smoothie.

We recommend refrigerating this product to maintain freshness.

Mixing suggestion: To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combined with our organic maqui and blueberry powders.
