ACAI

Acai is a small purple berry from the Brazilian Amazon that has been found to be one of the most nutritious and powerful foods on the planet - jam packed with antioxidants, healthy omega fats, amino acids and dietary fiber. 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 acai 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 known to have the following properties: It is an anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, and can strengthen and protect the cardiovascular system. 1000mg per 3 capsules.
