Overview of Available Acai Products

Acai is used in a variety of different forms. Acai products distributed include capsules, powders, liquids, seeds, and ice pops, chocolate treats, and energy bars. A pulp of this fruit is also added to smoothies, and parts of it such as the rinds or oils of it have been used.

This berry has recently become very popular within the past decade in the Western World. Not too long ago, Oprah Winfrey has even endorse it, and it has been talked about on her talk show.

Acai products are often distributed in their purest forms for maximum benefit. However this fruit is also extracted and used as part of other health supplements that contain a number of vitamins and minerals.

Orac tests have been conducted on acai products, including a 1-gram serving of two capsules (1000mg). This particular dose of acai contains an antioxidant dose that is about 50 times more powerful than mangoes, at least three times greater than blueberries, and two times greater than pomegranates.

The antioxidant amount in the acai capsule dose mentioned in the previous paragraph is also said to be at least 10 times greater than in red wine grapes. Other sources say the content of antioxidants in acai are up to 33 times more potent than red wine grapes.

The antioxidant amount present in any other commonly-sold acai products varies, depending upon the content of this berry in a chocolate bar, energy smoothie, or drink powder. It is best that you choose the products that contain a sufficient amount of this fruit to benefit your system.

At current, there is no official guidelines set in the U.S. Regarding the amount of acai to take per day in order for it to have a benefit on the human body. However, experts all over the world suggest a dosage of approximately 100 grams or 3.5 ounces per day of pulp or 1 to 2 ounces of powder per day.

The recommended dosage of freeze-dried capsule dosage of this product is about 1 to 2 grams daily. You are advised to check the label of any chocolate or other bar containing this berry in it to observe the acai content within it.

According to one source, using products that contain the benefits of the entire acai fruit are most recommended. However, extracts of the fruit are also recommended.
