The Truth about Acai Berry Diet Product

by Alex on October 1, 2008

After Acai Berry was mentioned in Oprah’s show, it suddenly becomes the next best thing since slice bread in health industry. Dr. Periconne, a trusted doctor of Oprah has listed Acai Berry as a top super food. Besides, Rachel Ray also featured Monavie’s Acai Berry on her show. In short, everybody is talking about Acai Berry!
Looking at its ingredients, it is no wonder that Acai Berry attracted so much attention from the media. According to scientific studies, it contains high concentration of following nutrients:

  • Antioxidants. In fact, Acai Berry contains at least 10 times more antioxidants as compared to red grapes and wine. Antioxidants is important in cancer prevention and anti-aging.
  • Mono-unsaturated fat: essential in your heart and digestive health.
  • Acid Amino and trace minerals

Another attractive benefit of Acai Berry is that: it may helps to speed up metabolism and promote weight loss. Here comes the problem: a lot of merchants see this as opportunity and start producing diet products that feature Acai Berry. You may have received the so called “free trial” offers of Acai Berry products. It usually claims that you can lose weight very quickly by taking their Acai Berry product. Here’s why you need to be very careful:

  1. The free trial gimmick: in the free trial offer, you are asked to pay for small shipping fees to receive free samples of Acai Berry. Here’s the trick: there’s small disclaimer saying that you need to cancel your order before the trial expires or you will be re-bill for future shipment. However, this disclaimer is usually buried deeply in the websites. Most people totally overlook the disclaimer. In addition, it is usually extremely difficult to cancel the orders. In fact, there are tons and tons of complains against Acai Berry free trial scheme. You can take a look here, here, and here.
  2. Acai Berry products are sold as nutritional supplements. Nutritional supplements are not regulated by FDA. Thus, the long term risk and effectiveness of Acai Berry products are not known.

Why are people saying good things about Acai Berry? You may read lot of positive reviews and experience on Acai Berry diet product from the internet. However, most of these articles are written by MLM promoters and affiliates associated with the company producing Acai Berry products! These companies are paying handsome commissions to their sales team. One of the popular way to promote Acai Berry diet product is internet marketing. I suspect it’s why you see so many “positive” reviews from the internet. Do you still think that these reviews are genuine?

Can Acai Berry help you to lose weight? Maybe and maybe not. You need to understand that Acai Berry is considered a super food instead of fat burner. As Dr Periconne mentioned, Acai Berry is a “natures’s energy fruit”. However, a super food may not support weight loss. If anyone tells you he/she lose weight with Acai Berry diet, it may be the result from regular exercise and strict diet that incorporate Acai Berry.

Where to buy quality Acai Berry?
It’s recommend that you stay away from the free trial or products from Multi Level Marketing. These products are usually very expensive. Granted, Acai Berry is not widely available, but you should be able to find them in local health store or gourmet stores. Dr Periconne recommended that you purchase Acai Berry in pulp form to enjoy the full benefits.
