acai berries are supposedly rich in nutrients and antioxidants but so are blueberries and other berries.
There is a lot of hype but mostly it’s from scammers wanting to sell acai berries for $80/bottle so they can get rich.
Negatives are that the berries are grown in 3rd world countries which use bad pesticides and bad chemicals during berry processing.
So lots of negatives, few positives except impossible claims by scammers.
Also, Don’t fall for the "free trial" scams that’s everywhere including one of the answers here. They want your credit card number for a "small shipping fee".
It’s a scam. They’ll empty your credit card account and you’ll end up having to cancel your credit card to stop the charges. References :
The main part is that it is an antioxidant, which helps to defend the body(making the immune system strong), slow down aging and may reduce the risks of getting disease and cancer, as it weakens the power of free radicals (which are harmful).
It is said to aid weight loss, but more research is being done to see if this statement is accurate.
