Live Superfoods Acai Powder

This superfoods acai powder provides 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocynins of red wine.

This organic Acai powder provides a potent concentration of antioxidants to promote healthy aging, energy production and stamina. Acai berries are extremely high in anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant that supports balanced cholesterol levels. They are also rich in plant sterols that promote cardo-protective benefits, including circulatory support, overall blood composition, and blood vessel support.

Our superfoods acai powder also provides a synergistic blend of monounsaturated (healthy) fats and omega fatty acids including omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 and fatty acids such as linoleic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid.  These in combination with dietary fiber and phytosterols help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.

This almost perfect essential amino acid complex also provides valuable trace minerals and electrolytes vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration. Plant sterols include B-sitosterol, campesterol and sigmasterol. B vitamins include B1, B2 and B3. 

Many of our customers mix Acai Powder with water or juice, but because our Acai Powder doesn't contain any additives or carriers, it doesn't dissolve well in water. So, for best results we suggest mixing it with a smoothie or yogurt.

Acai Powder - Amazonian Antioxidant

The vast flood plains of the Amazon rainforest hold many secrets, but in the last few years one traditional Amazonian tribal secret has made its way to the Western world. Found in the lush flood plains of the Amazon in Brazil, the fruit of the Acai Palm tree is a dark purple berry about the size of a blueberry or a grape. This little fruit, with a pleasant yet unique taste, is one of the world's most nutritious foods as it is packed with antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

The properties of the acai berry were kept secret for thousands of years; mainly due to the fact that the raw fruit needs to be consumed within 24 hours of picking. Recent innovations in the picking and freeze-drying processes have allowed the rest of the world to discover what Amazonian tribes have known for years. The acai berry has natural antioxidant properties that may help promote general well-being, boosts energy, stamina and mental acuity levels and may have a positive effect on cholesterol, the digestive system and even sex drive. 

The acai berry (Euterpe Oleracea) gets most of its antioxidant properties from the high concentration of anthocyanins; in fact up to 30 times more anthocyanins compared to red wine make acai powder one of the most antioxidant rich superfoods available. The acai fruit pulp is rich in fiber, protein and contains essential fatty acids, all of which combine to help promote healthy digestive and cardiovascular systems.

Like many of our antioxidant-rich superfood powders our acai powder is freeze-dried within 24 hours of the fruit being picked; a process that removes moisture from the fruit at a very low heat. This allows the powder to retain the nutritional benefits of the raw fruit.

Research into the specific health benefits of superfood Acai Powder is ongoing, but studies indicate it may:

• Promote a healthy immune system
• Promote a healthy digestive system
• Have a positive effect on cholesterol levels
• Help protect your skin and organs against premature aging
• Improve energy, vitality and mental acuity
• Improve your sex drive
• Help cell regeneration and healthy tissue growth, neutralizing free radicals that can lead to cancer.
