The
Power of the Acai Berry, Nature's Multivitamin
The acai berry is 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.
