Amazing Acai (pronounced ‘ah-sigh-ee’) is a small purple rainforest berry, regarded widely as one of the Earth’s most nutritious foods. It grows on the Acai palm (Euterpe oleracea), which is a tree native to the Brazilian Amazon region.
Acai is quite simply one of the earth’s most nutritious foods which makes it a great dietary supplement for almost anyone.
Recognised as an excellent provider of Omega 6 to Omega 9 fatty acids which are supplied at the same ratio as that found in olive oil. It is renowned for its exceptionally high antioxidant content with a wide range of amino acids and plant protein. It is also a good source of dietary fibre as well as offering Calcium and Iron with a cocoa-and-fruit taste.
Acai is know to help with boosting energy levels by helping your body self regulate, whilst also helping with the release of energy from the other nutrients within your diet. It is known to help strengthen the immune system by offering a wide range of antioxidants and a wide range of important vitamins and minerals.
