Does an Acai Berry Detox Work?
Acai Berry Detox Ads Are Everywhere
In looking for information on whether an Acai berry detox regimen will even work, This reviewer has found one thing for sure and that’s that, most information on any sort of
Acai berry detox is from someone wanting you to buy one from them. So of course they’re going to tell you all of the wonderful things. Right?
That’s not good enough for most consumers though. We deserve to know if our money’s wasted on such a thing as an Acai berry detox before we spend it. Learning the hard way is a good way to insure the message gets pounded into our collective thick skulls…but it’s unnecessary. We have technology. Research can be difficult since even “warning” references tend to lead to yet another sales page.
Let this author be the first to admit that, whenever the first few ads for an Acai berry detox started showing up, it was intriguing to say the least. The offers of relieving one’s own body of wastes, toxins, and heavy metals, all without the cost and inconvenience of chelation, sounded wonderful.
In addition, just about anyone who enjoys a good, sweet and tart, berry flavored drink would enjoy a good Acai berry detox. And even on the sides of the bottles of any brand of an Acai berry detox can read off the list of valuable, and helpful anti-oxidants, among the other vitamins and minerals.
The question here though is, if a nutrition based detox would work at all. It’s not that there’s any doubt of the nutritional value, or the incredibly good flavor, but just how effective is an Acai detox?
The whole concept of the body accumulating toxins has been shown before, medically, but what’s known to be true based upon research and evidence doesn’t always seem to jibe with what’s being claimed by some within the Acai berry industry.
Is the Acai berry detox industry as legitimate as they claim to be? Or might there be some sort of a cover-up within the health and nutrition industry of not only approaches like an Acai berry detox, but of many nutrition-based health care strategies. If something as powerful as a food-based approach to good health were to take off, several industries would soon feel the economic heat.

5 Tips on Purchasing Quality Acai Berry
Lose Weight with Acai
If you want to buy Acai Berry to aid you in weight loss and improvement of your health, you should be aware that not all berries are alike. Many imitations of Acai berry made by numerous scamming manufacturers attempt to trick you into buying products without pure Acai Berry.
Acai Berry is only found naturally in the Amazon forest. Acai is not available for purchase as a whole fruit in the United States. After it is picked, Acai berry will begin to rot within about
24 hours. In order to preserve it, Acai must be put into powder form or placed in capsules. Acai can be used to lightly powder your food, or mixed into a drink. It is an awesome way to get essential nutrients, as well as help the body dispose of waste and deadly toxins. Consumption of Acai will allow your body to work at maximum levels, heal itself, as well as burn calories and fat.
Here are a few of my favorite tips to getting quality Acai Berry products:
1. Check that it is one-hundred percent natural. You don’t want a nutritional supplement that has any added preservatives or ingredients.
2. Make sure there is no added sugar. The idea of using Acai is for good health, why add sugar?
3. Acai berry products should be made from the pulp and not the seeds. The seeds do not have any nutritional value, all of the essentials are found within the pulp.
4. Freeze-dried Acai. Through this method the Acai berry retains as much of its powerful nutrients as possible. Choose this over spray dried Acai.
5. Avoid Acai that has been spray-dried into powder. This technique lowers potency and is considered the poorer quality of Acai.
If you cannot find exactly what the Acai product contains on the labels, feel free to ask your seller or manufacturer. If they give you an answer which does not satisfy you or meet the above criteria, most likely you should purchase from someone else. Make sure to lookup your product before you buy and get as much information about a manufacturer as you can.
Watch for fair pricing. Acai Berry does not normally come at sky high prices. Use a Google search and look around for the best pricing.

A Short Diary of My Experience with the Acai Berry
Amazing Wonder Fruit Considered Highest in Antioxidants & Overall Nutrition
OUT OF THE BLUE – A BLUEBERRY?
My friend Bob from the warehouse recently called me out of the blue. I don’t know him too well, but he seems like a nice enough guy. He left a message and said he wanted to talk to me about something. I called him back and he said he wanted to meet me.
I ended up meeting with him and his friend, and they wanted to talk to me about a “new” product, a fruit drink whose main ingredient was formerly unknown to me: the acai berry, also spelled “açai” berry.
I rolled my eyes at first. I had been through it all. Years ago it was Amway, then it was this, then that, lately it was Quixtar. With exception to some exceptional products, these all come across as great business ideas, but no readily apparent value proposition. Sorry, sweating it on the network marketing thing just because you know me don’t cut it.
Anyway, Bob and his friend spared me the hard sell. They focused on the product itself and asked me to try it. They were even giving me a two free botlles. I said “sure”.
I’m glad I tried it.
NO! IT’S THE ACAI BERRY!
There is plenty written now on the acai berry’s nutritional value – so I won’t go into that. See Cheryl Carpenter’s great article). I just want to relate my personal experience.
The product I tried were two wine-sized bottles made by the Mona Vie company. The bottles contained a blend of 19 fruits, including the sediment containing the skins and seeds from each. My instructions from Bob were to drink 1 to 2 ounces twice a day (morning and evening) and to see what happened. Here is what I observed…
- DAY 1: Noticeably better sleep.
- DAY 2: Continued better sleep at night and overall on all nights following.
- DAY 3: Mild form of joint pain with arthritic symptoms that had developed in recent years – gone! I was able to squat down on my knees and pop back up quickly without the accompanying groans.
- DAY 5: Noticeable ease in back tension.
- DAY 7: I continuously attempt to stretch and pop the bones in my back. There is one area in my back that had been “cricked” for close to a year. It suddenly gave way today with a loud snap, and I felt an immediate sense of relief. Whenever this area “re-cricks”, I easily snap it back in place.
