Acai Berry...has anyone heard of this?

The Acai Berry is the fruit of a species of palm tree. It is touted as being high in antioxidants, though, from what I have read, it is not much different in that respect from many other more readily available (and much cheaper) fruits.

I see the current interest (and number of websites) as just another wave of an 'incredible new product that doesn't taste too good so it must be good for you'. It is also being marketed as an MLM product, very much like a number of other 'health' products, and I am always very suspicious about things which need to be sold this way.

It gained a lot of mileage from exposure by Oprah Winfrey but the claims made by her have since been largely discredited.

For some (not necessarily complete but, at least, rather less biased) information you may like to read:

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w... every other site I can find when searching for 'acai berry' is either blatantly selling it or has, in small letters, 'Business Opportunity' somewhere on the page!

It is a fact that most people in developed countries do not consume enough antioxidants but surely, if one is concerned, is it not far better to change one's diet to include natural and readily available foods rather than to rely on exotic, highly processed and overpriced supplements?

The only real answer to controlling one's weight is diet and exercise!

I have heard of it but have not treid it. I do not know if it is a gimmick or what. It is supposed to suppress appetite and get rid of belly faT (MY BIG PROBLEM). I would love to hear from other mylotter's if it works or not. It it is recommended then I will be rushing to purchase it - as long as it is a natural supplement with no adverse side effects.

I have heard about it and seen the advertisements.I don't know anyone that has tried it.I have thought about it.I have not sent for it.As you know I don't like to give a credit card number for anything.If it works, let me know.I don't put too much stock in what these people that get paid to advertise things say,so let me know if it works for you.I hope it does.

I also got a bottle for the cost of shipping, but I have not tried it yet, actually I am a little frightened to try it as I have heard it makes you have to use the restroom ALOT. I would like to know someone who has tried it first hand to see what the side effects are before I try it myself.

Hi dear moondancer. I have readed about it in the net. It is funny because acai is a fruit from my country and we have it a lot. I ever drank acai juice but never noticed that it make me lose weight. Like any fruit it is healthy of course and tasty but now many websites are talking about acai berry with a high price and I find it funny. We use to eat the fruit with milk as well. We have many fruits with more vitamins than acai like acerola that is very rich in C vitamin that is antoxidant. Well, I think that you must try it who knows if these capsules have something else that will be good to lose weight? you get it for the shipping cost so you are a winner any way. Hope you get the best result and take vitamins is good ever.
Hugs my dear.

I have not tried this particular thing. Back when I was pregnant with my oldest a friend and I had found this thing online about some type of liquid suppliment that you are suppose to add a few drops to your water. And drink it 4 times a day. We signed up to get some both chipping in some of the money. When it came we added it to our water and ended up peeing a lot! Haha. A dear older lady that we worked with asked if she could try some too! Haha. She said it made her pee a lot too! I didn't really lose any weight (um, I was pregnant! Haha) but I ended up having to discontinue use because I was gaining either. I never told me doctor what I had done because I didn't really realize at the time that you aren't supposed to take stuff like that when you are pregnant! My dad found out what I had done and hassled me about it for awhile. I told him that it was a bad decision, but thankfully Clara is a very smart child and I don't think we have to worry about that too much now. He looked at me and was like 'But, maybe she could have been smarter!' LoL! I currently take hydroxicut every now and then now. I don't really take it everday because I'm on another medication that makes me a little jittery sometimes and the 2 together? Haha! Anyhow, I would like to hear how this works out for you. Might be interesting!

I have heard of it but I don't know enough about it to give any advice or opinions, sorry.:( I have thought about buying the juice in the grocery store, but it just seems like a fad, and until I see someone who's really had results, I don't want to spend the money.

It is my first time to hear acai berry, I never heard it before. I hope it will help you a lot.
