Acai Berry Powder

Acai(Ah-sigh-ee) is a nutrient rich super-berry from the Brazilian Amazon that is one of the most potent antioxidant superfoods in the world. Acai is also packed full of healthy omega fats, dietary fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals. Unlike extracts, this freeze dried powder completely captures the remarkable nutritional benefits of acai without compromise. This product is 100% acai in its purest form nothing added!

Açaí pulp contains:
A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.

The fatty acid content in açaí resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.

The Acai berry is also being used in cosmetics for its antioxident and anti-aging properties. Applications include anti-ageing creams, after sun products, body creams and lotions.
