Acai Berry Better in Powder or Liquid Form

By I Russell

Which of the liquid or powder form of the Acai berry is superior? The answer depends on the constituents of each. There are both powders as well as liquids which have little Acai berry extract content in them and consist largely of other ingredients. The berry, which is about as large as a marble or grape, has been called the "super fruit" and provides many benefits to those who consume it or its juice. The adulteration of the berry with other ingredients reduces its efficacy. Purity of the product is therefore critical in ensuring that the most good can be obtained.

The Acai berry is only in powder or liquid form, simply because it is so very perishable and needs to be processed to be shipped anywhere far from South America. Only locals in Brazil and the Brazilian Amazon are fortunate to eat the fresh item. The natives in the Amazon comprise about fifty percent of their diet with Acai fruit. They also contribute their good health and long life to the Acai fruit. The fruit is commonly used by others as topping on desserts and mixed with sugar and or honey and Tapioca or eaten as is.

There are numerous benefits using this fruit, however, the number one reason for its popularity is weight lose. The Acai berry is noted for its properties beneficial in preparing the body nutritionally to lose weight. The Acai berry does not make you lose weight, but by preparing your body and making it healthy, paves the way to easy weight lose. This product along with an appetite suppressant give you a good start with your weight lose program and its success. One of the benefits is increased metabolism and there is a host of others that you will receive. Weight loss, yes, but so much more than that.

Now we are going to talk about whether the Acai berry is in powder form or in liquid form. It is important to find either the powder or liquid in its purest strength. Though some companies claim to have the best, but you will find after reading the product ingredients, that the Acai fruit powder or juice is mixed with other ingredients. So with this discussion out of the way, the doubt that comes to our mind is whether it is a powder or liquid. I could go into all the ORAC, (antioxidant value of a nutritional product) but simply the liquid has three times more nutritional value in each bottle and even with the larger cost of shipping, the juice seems to be the better value.
