You may be wondering what all the hype is around the Acai Berry, in fact, you probably have seen it at your local grocery store, or an added supplement to your favorite smoothie. Online, if you do a web search for Acai Berry, you’ll find countless articles on Acai Berry scams and their fake claims to lose tons of weight over night. Before you discount Acai Berry here is some interesting information compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Before diving into the details of the report and what the USDA says about Acai, it is important to understand what ORAC is. It is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. This measures how a substance conquers oxygen free radicals. Oxygen free radicals cause damage to the body. So in order to counter-act the damage, you want to find foods that are high with antioxidant properties. . . High ORAC levels.

Fruits and vegetables have the highest ORAC values, and even if you eat 5 fruit and vegetable servings a day as recommended, most of us aren’t meeting the USDA’s recommended 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units daily. In fact, the 5-a-day serving only gives an ORAC score of 1,750 units.

In the USDA Database for the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of Selected Food, Release 2, the ORAC score for Acai Berry freeze dried was 102,700 ORAC/100 grams! View the ORAC report on page 18 in the fruit section, the USDA ORAC report. That score beats wild blueberries, one of the highest antioxidant fruits before these results were published. Acai Berry has about 10 times more antioxidants than wild blueberries.

So what does this mean? Acai Berry is a perfect addition to your diet, and it may help:

• Promote healthy glowing skin and hair
• Maintain healthy function of bodily systems and organs
• Reduce pain and soreness
• Support the immune system
