The
Power of the Acai Berry, Nature's Multivitamin
The power of the acai berry is that it's nature's multivitamin,
a rich vitamin and phytonutrient food source that has nourished
man for decades. It is a natural, whole-food nutritional source.
The distinction is critical. Consider, certain vitamin B complexes
in ordinary supplements are, in fact, a synthetic chemical found
nowhere in nature. This synthetic "vitamin" is not
even similar to the "same" complex found in whole
foods. Isolated, manmade supplements simply can not compare
to whole foods in maintaining biochemical and physiological
equilibrium.
Enhanced
Regulation of Biologic Functions - Potassium is the
most abundant mineral in the acai berry. Potassium is essential
to the body's regulation of water balance, acidity levels and
blood pressure regulation. Potassium is also essential to the
proper transmission of electrical impulses in the heart.
More
Balanced Cholesterol Management - Rich in Omega-6 (Linoleic
acid) and Omega 9 (Oleic acid), acai helps support a healthy
cholesterol profile. Acai's generous amounts of Oleac acid,
a monounsaturated, essential fatty acid, can help lower LDL
(bad) cholesterol levels while maintaining HDL (good) cholesterol
levels.
Inflammation
Reduction - Chronic inflammation is a major source
of aging and cellular degeneration. As a powerful antioxidant-rich
vitamin and phytonutrient source, acai berry helps the body
fight inflammation and assists in the healing process. The acai
berry contains significant anthocyanin levels, a known anti-inflammatory
agent.
Better
Cardiovascular Maintenance
- The fatty acid ratio of acai berry resembles that of olive
oil, thought to be a contributing factor to the low incidence
of cardiovascular failure in Mediterranean populations.
Improved
Visual Function - Acai berries powerful phytonutrients,
particularly anthocyanins, can help improve eyesight through
numerous mechanisms.
Improved
Blood Circulation - Acai berries antioxidant constituents
can playa large role in maintenance of the vascular cardiac
system and help improve blood circulation.
Healthful
Bone Mineralization - Vitamins D and K play an important
role in bone health and mineralization. Low bone mineral density
is often associated with low vitamin K levels and a vitamin
K deficiency can compromise bone health.
Healthy
Cartilage Formation - Acai berries rich vitamin C content
can help boost collagen production, a major component of, and
necessary for, healthy cartilage formation.
Increased
Energy - A significdnt lipid content makes the acai
berry a high-energy-source fruit helping to combat fatigue and
to nutrient our body for sustained energy. Acai berry is also
a rich niacin source. Every cell of the body requires niacin
to create the body's natural fuel: adenosine triposphate (ATP).
Also known as vitamin B3, niacin is a precursor for two important
coenzymes, NAD and NADP NAD and NADP take part in cellular energy
production by assisting in the transfer of electrons in oxidation-reduction
reactions.
Improved
Metabolic Activity - Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is
a water-soluble vitamin which is needed to process amino acids
and fats, 2) activates vitamin B6 and folic acid, and 3) helps
convert carbohydrates into the fuel the body runs on. The acai
is an abundant source of riboflavin.
Improved
Muscular Health - Acai berries potassium-rich composition
assists in neuromuscular activity. As well, acai's calcium can
contribute to muscular health, as can acai's high niacin content
Restoration
of Damaged Tissue - The abundant Vitamin E levels in
the acai berry can help restore damaged tissues in addition
to being a powerful antioxidant. Acai berries calcium can play
an important role in blood clotting, a critical part of the
restoration process.
Healthy
Neurological Function - The niacin contained in the
acai can assist neural cellular function. By preventing tyrosine
nitration, the anthocyanin properties in the acai may help guard
against neurological activity and the acai berries calcium may
foster neurological disfunction as calcium is important for
transmission of signals between nerve cells.
Cellular
Membrane Protection - Acai berries many antioxidants
can help protect our cellular membranes, particularly its abundant
natural Vitamin E content, a principal protector against oxidative
stress. Acai also contains the essential mineral phosphorus,
a building block of our cellular walls.
Reduced
Oxidative Stress - As one of nature's richest sources
of antioxidants, the acai berry can playa critical role in reducing
oxidative stress throughout the body. Improved cellular health
throughout the body will have significant anti aging benefits
and will assist in combating health disorders.
Improved
Skeletal Strength - Calcium is the second-most-abundant
mineral in the acai berry, and is the most abundant mineral
in the body. Adequate calcium levels are required daily to maintain
bone mineral density. Acai berries vitamin D content can contribute
to mineral metabolism and bone growth.
Improved
Digestive Function - The acai berry is a fiber-rich
berry. In fact, the total food fiber concentration is almost
25% of the berry's dry matter. Fiber intake is strongly recommended
for the elderly and individuals seeking to improve digestive
health and regularity.
Increased
Nutrient Absorption - Many essential nutrients can
not act alone or are enhanced in the presence of other essential
nutrients. Several acai berry constituents enhance other vital
nutrients in the body. For example, acai berries fatty acids
aid in the transport and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
such as vitamins A. E, D, and K.
Polyphenols,
Phytochemicals, Anthocyanins
- All incredible antioxidants. The acai berry contains the most
highly concentrated forms of anthocyanins known thus far: up
to 33 times the anthocyanine level found in red wine grapes.
Enhanced
Coronary Health - The acai berry is a dense source
of a particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins, a compound
which can assist in coronary and arterial health.
