Acai Berry Boom
December 1st, 2008A few years ago, the Superfood du jour was green tea, today it is the acai berry. In the wave of acai berry mania, many products have been introduced into the dietary supplement market, which contains the benefits of this Amazon rain forest berry into a compounded capsule form. One such product is Acai Berry Boom. Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) is a small berry with deep purple skin and tastes like a mix of chocolate and berries.
The acai berry has been praised as a Superfood because it packs a nutritional punch within its tiny size. Acai berry contains a host of disease-fighting antioxidants as well as essential fatty acids, amino acids, Vitamin, B, C & E, iron, fiber, and calcium. Because of its high fiber content, it can help rid your body of excess waste and it is often used as part of a cleanse or detoxification program. In addition, its fatty acid content is similar to that of olive oil as well as being rich in monounsaturated oleic acid, which has been praised for slowing down the aging process.
Acai Berry Boom does not make any claims per se. Rather, the product’s website contains many claims about the acai berry itself, such as fighting cancerous cells, slowing down the aging process, enhancing sexual desire and performance, promoting healthier and younger skin and containing. It is then inferred that Acai Berry Boom may carry the same health benefits.
