Other common names: Asai, Ashai, Assai, Cabbage Palm, Cansin, Jicara, Manac, Pinot, Wapoe Highly nutritious Açaí Fruit is sometimes called the Amazon’s perfect ”super berry” and is believed to be an exceptional antioxidant, which helps to build the body’s natural defenses against infection and disease and protect the body from free radicals that can attack and destroy cells. Its fatty acids are believed to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis, stroke and heart attack. Often referred to as the ”Fountain of Youth,” Açaí Fruit is reputed to restore the stamina and vitality of our younger days.

History: Açaí Fruit is a small, deep-purple berry that grows on the tall, slender Açaí palm tree, which is a very common native of the Brazilian Rainforest. Açaí palm is a member of the genus, Euterpe, which contains seven species of palms that are native to tropical Central and South America from Belize southward to Brazil and Peru, growing mainly in floodplains and swamps. The botanical genus is named in honor of the muse, Euterpe, of Greek mythology. The Açaí palm may reach one hundred feet in height and has adapted to survive in waterlogged soil in the lowland flood areas along the rivers of northern South America, where it forms large groves. The palm family encompasses over twelve hundred species and is one of the most useful plants for the inhabitants of the rainforest as a vital resource for food, beverages, oils, building materials, tools and weapons.

Apart from its berries as food, the Açai palm has other purposes. Leaves may be used for making hats, mats, baskets, brooms and roof thatch for homes; and trunk wood, resistant to pests, is important in building construction. The Açaí has been used for thousands of years by the indigenous tribes of the area for its extraordinary nutritional and healing qualities, and Brazilians call it ”Tree of Life.” A study of the Coboclo populations in the Amazon region of Brazil revealed that Açaí was the most important plant.

Liquid Goji & Acai, 32 oz: W

Liquid Goji & Acai, 32 oz: WDescription: Goji Berries (a.k.a. Wolf Berries), according to history, have been used by Himalayan healers and incorporated into traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years.

The phyto-nutrient properties of these berries are contained in the special polysaccharides (a.k.a. phyto-nutrient compounds). It has been shown that there are four primary polysaccharides that offer most of goji’s benefits. These phyto-nutrient compounds act as cellular messengers and are often referred to by scientists as master molecules. Goji berries support such functions as cellular and immune health.

Acai Berries are found in the pristine Brazilian rainforest. These berries are said to offer numerous benefits. Acai berries typically contain a complete spectrum of B vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, minerals including calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorus, all essential amino acids and omega-6 fatty acids. Acai berries have been shown to contain higher antioxidant levels than red wine grapes, blueberries and other fruits. These berries are said to be nature’s perfect food.

Mangosteen is a fruit common to Southeast Asia that naturally contains a powerful antioxidant component called xanthones. Xanthones have been studied for their ability to offer beneficial antioxidant support to the body. Current studies suggest that the oxidation due to free radical damage contributes to such factors as aging and other health related concerns. Blueberry, Pomegranate, Cherry, Noni and Red Raspberry are all added for increased nutritional and antioxidant support.
