Acai Berry Side Effects

Acai Berry Side Effects

Acai: you've seen it on Opera, advertised in health food stores and flickering in ads all over the web. Acai is an increasingly popular diet method, purported to suppress the appetite and promote health. It is known to be one of the most nutritious foods available, packing more antioxidants than blueberry or cranberry.

Acai has a high content of anthocyanins and other phenolics and phytonutrients which help to decrease levels of carotenoids such as lutein. This is all good for your heart, memory, cancer defense, and preventing bacterial infections, Acai contains B vitamins, fiber, proteins, minerals, oleic acid (omega-9), omega-3 fatty acids.

Acai can be ingested in a variety of forms, from popping the dark, rich berry straight into your mouth off the bush (good luck finding an acai plant if you're not traipsing around in the Amazon) or more conveniently squeezed into juice, incorporated into foods, dried to powder, capsules and pills.

But what, you may ask, are the negative side effects of the acai berry?

Slim to none. However, since Acai increases energy, those on an Acai diet should be cautioned against taking guarana, another diet suppressant from the Amazon, as the doubled effects can cause over stimulation and jitters.

Otherwise the berry is a safe and effective weight loss aide, unless mixed with filler substances and impurities that are frequently added to pills and capsules as a way to rip off consumers. Be careful, when purchasing Acai, to avoid scams.

The greater they purport to cure your problems, the more likely they are to overcharge you. Since it is expensive no matter how you cut it, a safe bet would be to visit or call your local health food store and check out the selection on their shelf, then go back online and see if you can find the same product for less.
