Acai berry powder is freeze dried acai, pronounced (ah-sigh-EE). Freeze drying is a process where moisture is removed from the fruit by bringing it below -20 degrees celsius; as there is no heat used in this process, 100% of all the fruit nutritional value is retained. Acai is a palm berry indigenous to the Brazilian rain forest and is considered to have the highest concentration of antioxidants of any food.
Antioxidant Benefit
Oxidation is a process that occurs in the body and is known to damage tissue. Antioxidants are compounds found to prevent tissue damage and consequently reduce diseases caused by oxidation. Acai berry powder retains the antioxidant properties of the fresh acai fruit. Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds that are plentiful in the acai and studies have determined that polyphenols have anti cancer properties that inhibit cancer tumor growth. Antioxidants exist in other fruits and vegetables, but not in the quantities found in acai. Acai fruit when compared to all other foods in studies was found to have the highest number of antioxidant compounds. These anti-cancer properties make it a desirable food to include in your diet.
A high quality acai berry powder does not contain the following additives:
sugar
preservatives
caffeine
carriers or fillers.
Acai berry powder without additives and certified organic is a product that is 100% pure.
The acai berry currently is found to have the highest antioxidant properties of any food. The availability of high quality freeze dried acai berry powder, allows people living outside of the Amazonian region to enjoy the powerful benefits of this fruit.
Author's Note:
I have been taking a freeze dried acai berry powder supplement for several months. Prior to deciding on a particular product, I carried out extensive research on the acai fruit and the companies marketing acai products. I learned from my research that this little berry is loaded with antioxidants and has been found by some research to have the most antioxidant properties of any food. I also learned that the acai berry has a high amount of omega essential fatty acids. I really checked out the companies marketing the acai fruit and found you need to avoid the free trials and companies marketing it as a weight loss super food. They appear to be scams, only interested in taking advantage of you. I did find one company called Amazon Thunder Inc that offers 100% pure organic acai products. I could not find another company that offers such a high quality product. Have I noticed any health benefits? I sure have. Joint pain in my hands and wrists has disappeared and I have noticed immune boosting and antioxidant effects. An acai berry powder supplement is a great choice to maximize your health.

The Acai Berry Fruit
The benefit of the acai berry supplement is no longer a secret. For hundreds of years, the local Brazilians utilized acai berry to supplement their diets and to improve their overall health.
Recently, the power of acai became known to the western world via the American media and the frenzy was created. Consumers have been fighting to ge their hands on acai and manufacturers have been trying to keep up with the demands.
Acai berry is a small grape sized fruit but the fruit is very perishable and difficult to ship long distances. As a result, it is often seen in different variations such as the acai berry supplement, acai pulp, and liquid drinks.
Acai berry supplements normally come in the form of some kind of capsule. These capsules are often selected over liquid forms of acai due to the fact that you don't have to deal with any kind of strong after taste that is often associated with the drinks.
Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-e) is harvested from a Brazilian Palm tree and has powerful benefits such as antioxidants that help to fight premature aging, essential fatty acids and other key elements that help the body to recover faster from exercise, burn energy more efficiently, and more.
There are many different vendors online that offer acai berry so the key is to find a manufacturer who is reputable and has been around the web for some time. One of the problems with a popular product like acai is that some sellers like to cut corners and put lower amounts in their products.
