BENEFITS OF AÇAí

Incredible Antioxidant and Anthocyanins Levels.

Oxygen Radical Absorbtion Capacity Graph

ORAC - Oxygen Radical Absorbtion Capacity

Simply put, ACAI is one of the highest antioxidant fruits in the world. AÇAÍ has 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes and twice that of blueberries. ACAI has 10 to 30 times the Anthocyanins of red wine. The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score for 100 grams of freeze dried ACAI powder is over 50,000.

Healthy Fats

The ACAIberry is very rich in healthy Omega fats. Nearly 50% of the ACAI berry is fat with 74% of the fat coming from healthy unsaturated fats such as Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9.

Rich in Amino acids and Protein

7.59% of the weight of the ACAI pulp is from amino acids. 19 different amino acids have been identified in ACAI. Since amino acids are the building blocks of protein, it is no surprise that you have over 8 grams of protein in a 100 gram serving of ACAI.

Excellent source of Plant Sterols

Three plant sterols (or photosterols) have been identified in ACAI - B-sitosterol, campesterol and sigmasterol. Photosterols have been shown to have numerous health benefits for maintaining healthy heart and digestive function.

Good source of Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E are all present in ACAI. In fact, ACAI contain as much Vitamin C as blueberries and has over 100 IU of Vitamin A for every 100 grams of ACAIÍ. In addition, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc are all found in ACAI.

Good Source of Fibre

For a fruit, ACAI has a strong fiber profile. There are about 27 grams of fiber in every 100 grams of freeze dried ACAI powder.

Anti-Aging

ACAI berries are also full of flavinoids, which are anti-inflammatory and great for reducing wrinkles and even for improving acne. These berries are a good source of essential fatty acids, which help the body to renew cells and produce more of them. This regeneration of the cells is, of course, useful for anti-aging.
