Essential Acai, qnt: 60 vegicaps, 1000 mg

Introducing the newest addition to the Supplement Spot brand line, Essential Acai! This berry-like purple fruit from the Brazilian rainforest packs a powerful punch that will leave you feeling strong and energized. If there is any food likely to prevent serious illness, the acai's vast antioxidant spectrum is like a big, bright, purple beacon.

WHAT IT IS
Pronounced ah-saw-EE, the purple-fleshed acai fruit has a long history of use in South America, but is just now gaining popularity worldwide because of new scientific research supporting its health benefits, particularly its antioxidant properties. Besides being touted by the famous Dr. Nicholas Perricone in his book on health and aging, The Perricone Promise, the fruit has also been discussed on Oprah, NBC’s Today Show, and on Steve O’Brien’s CBS-FM New York radio show.

This health-promoting fruit is highly valued in trade along the border between Colombia and Brazil, where it has a long history of use: it can be made into a drink or added to other foods, such as breads and seafood dishes. Acai is now a very popular fruit in South America, and it has made its way into hair care products and trendy ice creams, but its potential health benefits are giving it a new kind of renown around the globe.

WHAT IT DOES
Acai has a wide antioxidant spectrum that includes more different types of antioxidants than any other known food source. Let’s face it, no single antioxident will allow you to live forever. The hope is now that a regular intake of ALL antioxident types will give your body the best chance to slow or even stop the aging process.

The acai berry is very unique because it is packed with so many nutrients. It has loads of amino acids, which is unheard of in fruits and vegetables in North America. It has the protein content of an egg, the essential fatty acids of olive oil and is rich in the A and B vitamins. Ingesting it has incredible health benefits. Even if you are healthy you will probably notice positive effects as you introduce a more balanced nutrition to your body, including increased energy and mental clarity.

The acai berry contains the same antioxidant phytonutrients as blueberries, anthocyanins, except in far greater amounts (up to 30 times the amount found in red grapes and 5 times more powerful than ginko biloba!). If you believe that the French Paradox is caused by Anthocyanins, as most nutritional scientists do, then this is a very important acai benefit to consider. Dr. Nicholas Perricone, in his book The Perricone Promise, calls the acai berry the most perfect food on the planet. It rates #1 on his list of recommendations of the top ten ingredients to look and feel younger, enjoy revitalized health, and decelerate the aging process.

Acai's mineral Spectrum is also as complete if not more complete than any other single food source. It is probably true that you can’t survive your entire lifetime on any one food source, but acai comes the closest with traces of every beneficial mineral known to mankind. Acai’s trace elements are some of the most complete ever seen, both on the Macro and Micro scales. The studies by Dr. Schauss’s study were very explicit on this part of the testing, testing down as far as 2 parts per billion! They said that it was very challenging cataloging all of the different trace elements, and they believe it has the most on record of any single food source as well. High levels of glucosamine are also found in acai.
