Acai is the fruit of a palm tree that grows in the rainforests of the Amazon – a tree Brazilians call “The Tree of Life”. Because Acai fruit is perishable, in the past, its popularity stayed only in Brazil. However, improved processing of the fresh fruit is making it possible to preserve more of the fruit’s beneficial attributes for use beyond the region. Since then, the news about Acai has been steadily spreading, and the evidence of its nutritional and health benefits just keep on piling up. Acai earned its reputation as the most effective Super Fruit/Wonder Fruit the world has ever known.

Brazil Acai with its high Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value, has at least 22 times more capability than other wild berries to destroy free radicals, retarding the aging process and other diseases. The USDA recommends an intake of at least 5,000 ORAC units (umol TE/100g) a day for optimum health benefits. Unfortunately, the average person only receives about 20-25% of this recommended intake in his or her daily food consumption.

Also, Acai is an excellent source of polyphenol, phytosterol, vitamin E, Omega 6 and 9, and anthocyanin and proanthocyanin. Every single capsule of Brazil Acai 100x (200 mg) contains nutritional amounts that are equivalent to 20g of fresh Acai berry.
