My husband and I have been on a mission to improve our health. We began our plan at the start of the year since we resolved to lose weight and exercise. We are having lots of fun with our exercise program. We ride our bikes in the neighborhood when we get home from work or take our dogs for a long walk. I have been trying lots of new recipes that include fresh vegetables and protein. I have been reading a great deal about the benefits of acai and am planning to order some of the supplements that are made from this amazing little berry.

Can Acai Berry Products Help in Weight Loss?

I was curious about the antioxidant levels in acai. There was a study done comparing antioxidant capacity against other drinks. It found that acai was lower than pomegranate juice, concord grape juice, blueberry juice, and red wine. It was about equal in antioxidant capacity of black cherry or cranberry juice, but was higher than orange juice, apple juice and tea. I thought this was interesting. Especially since I love grape juice and it is cheaper than acai. There must be some other wonderful reason to buy acai juice. I can find lots of info on where to buy it, but I need more dietary info.

Responding to the huge number of consumers continuously complaining about being cheated in the name of free acai trials, Visa shut accounts of over 100 acai companies indulging in such frauds.

These companies lure the customers by offering a free trial of acai products. They are made to believe that they only have to bear the handling and shipping charges. This they have to pay through their credit card. Well, once the card details are obtained, these immoral merchants force their low-grade products on the hapless victims month after month.

This forced continuity is cleverly hidden in small print or at times on the next page. So, by signing up for the acai free trial, apparently the customer has subscribed to this rut. The ease with which you can cancel this is in complete contrast with the signing up process! In most cases, where the customers in spite of many efforts have not been able to cancel, have had to change to another card.

Visa with an intention to end this tomfoolery to the extent possible, has decided to shut down the scammers. Hopefully this should help the customers from falling into the free acai trap and also benefit from the genuine acai sellers online. It is a wise and praiseworthy decision by Visa!

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.
