Among the many potential benefits being discovered about acai berry are its anti-aging and dermatological (meaning: skin care) properties.

Acai berry contains several elements revered for their effect in getting rid of wrinkles and blemishes, and reducing the destructive effects of aging on the skin (which, you might remember from health or science class, is the body’s largest organ)–namely, the following:

  • B vitamins
  • protein
  • fiber
  • omega-3 fatty acids
  • trace minerals

…all of which are typically deficient in the standard American diet.

Another strong dermatological aid found in acai berries is omega-9 fatty acid (or oleic acid) which has been found to aid in the contraction of muscles, as well as their regeneration.

Antioxidants, also available in large supply in acai berries, have been revealed by numerous skin care experts to be beneficial to the health of the skin. One reliable way of determining the potency of antioxidants in any skin care product, and that’s by investigating its ORAC score (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity)–the higher the score, the better. Acai berry happens to have a high ORAC score. The acai berry’s ORAC score is 3,800 (as compared with the 1,750 score offered by the USDA’s recommended 5 servings per day of fruits and vegetables.

In fact, some manufacturers are now combining acai berry with another ingredient reported to have profound effects on the skin, and that’s resveratrol.

One other property of acai berry that appeals to many health enthusiasts looking to reduce the signs of aging and improve the health and appearance of their skin is that it’s vegan–a claim that many skin care products cannot match.

Acai Berry Supplements for Alzheimers

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Acai berry supplements help delay (and in some cases reverse) the symptoms of aging and it can help to prevent many horrible diseases. One such disease, it so happens, is Alzheimers.

As many readers are already aware, alzheimers is a disease that no one should have to suffer through. Losing one’s faculties is disoriented at best, terrifying at worst. And to the families of people afflicted with alzheimers disease, the sadness of watching a loved one’s decline is unbearable. Thankfully, we live in a day and age when ways of treating alzheimers are on the horizon, and ways of helping prevent its onset to begin with are already here.

It turns out, science has discovered, that antioxidants are a strong protectant from alzeimers. While no one can claim yet that antioxidants absolutely prevent alzheimers, it is at least understood that antioxidants can help to prevent. This is how it works, in greater detail:

Scientific studies have found that there is a protein that can exist in the body known as amyloid that damages, impairs, and ultimately destroys the body’s cells–including those in the brain–by producing free radicals. But clinical research has found that antioxidants are able to combat free radicals and help prevent the damaging oxidative process they facilitate.

Acai berry supplements are one of the most concentrated sources of antioxidants in the world. With the free radical-fighting power of the heavy concentrations of antioxidants in acai berry supplements, you can conceivably destroy these pathological amyloid proteins before they destroy you. As I said earlier, no on should have to suffer with alzheimers, neither as a patient or one of their loved ones. And now you have one more defense to help protect you.

Acai White Tea

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Joining the growing repertoire of various healthy and delicious acai berry products on the market is acai white tea (also seen as white acai tea, acai berry white tea, white tea with acai, and white acai berry tea). This dietary supplement is a blend of tea leaves from the camellia sinensis tea plant and acai berries from the acai palm tree in the Amazon rainforests.

Both of these ingredients are powerful antioxidants, making the combined antioxidant effect of acai white tea exponentially more potent than either ingredient individually. White tea has been found to contain 3 times more antioxidants than green tea and acai berries have been found to contain up to 30 times more antioxidants than red wine grapes.

Both products are also extremely powerful for weight loss, both having thermogenic fat burning properties. In fact, acai white tea has been said to help people lose as much as 25 pounds.

Performing numerous other healing functions as well, like cleansing the body of toxins, acai white tea also helps boost people’s energy levels (and from more than just the small amount of caffeine it contains), enhance immune system function, erase lines and wrinkles, and reduce gassiness and bloating.

The white tea in acai white tea contains 20% catechins and 40% polyphenols. Also contained in acai white tea is magnesium stearate and gelatin.

Acai white tea ordinarily goes for about $95 for a one-month supply, however first-time users can get a one-month risk free trial to try out before committing to purchasing any bottles.
