Acai berry contains a high concentration of Anthocyanins, a phytochemical previously found in high concentration only in red wine. This chemical is believed to fight heart disease which was found to be in much lower occurrence in people who habitually drink red wine even though they are customary smokers and eat diets that are high in cholesterol and saturated fats.

Acai berry pulp has been found to contain ten times to thirty times more Anthocyanins than red wine of the same quantity. This was proven with the study done by various analysis conducted health experts worldwide.

The Acai berry fruit is the king of health topics today since so much has been said and written about the wonders of the Acai berry. The varieties of products that are derived from the fruit are marketed endlessly on the Internet that it has even been the subject of controversies and fraudulent online activities.

The endless talk about Acai berry fruit has arisen from it being a natural health product, which developed its reputation as supplement having no side effects to the human body. It has been consumed by local inhabitants of the Amazon for decades, and has been well researched and studied scientifically before being made for commercial preparation.

The preparation of the Acai berry fruit requires no laboratory processing. Freeze drying its pulp and skin is the only process involved in the manufacturing of the fruit’s derivatives. Therefore, the essential nutrient contents remain intact to energize the body.

The antioxidant properties of Acai berry fruit provide extensive health benefits, which are also the primary reasons why people buy Acai berry products. It has also been found that the use of Acai products enhances sexual performance. As if these benefits are not enough, further studies revealed that it aids in regulating the level of cholesterol in the body and prevents atherosclerosis.

Yes, you’ve read it right and there’s no need to put on your glasses to read this piece of astonishing news again. The Acai health supplement and as a whole, a big online marketer Central Coast Nutraceuticals, Inc, better known as CCN, is supposed to pay-off over 1.37 million dollars as a settlement for the enormous complaints filed by the consumers against their wicked online marketing style.

In case you’re wondering what the heck really made Attorney General Terry Goddard to announce such a hefty settlement against CCN, it was the sole result of company’s online Acai health supplement promotion tactics which involved unfair means to grab extra orders from customers in a deceptive manner.

Basically CCN offered free samples of Acai health supplements to the customers, and in order to claim for a free sample the customers were requested to give out details of their credit cards and no charges were applicable for the promotional products. However, along with the Acai promos, CCN’s order form had few other expensive products pre-selected and the customers who did not really notice them received bill for the same and had to pay out of their own pockets. Those who haven’t yet claimed for their money can do so until 17th August, 2009.
