Acai Berry – ingredients

So far none raw material (fruit) has been found in the world, which could compete with the acai berry in terms of nutritional value. Therefore Perricone called it “superfood on 1” (Table 1). Acai fruit is an extremely rich source of nutrients and dietary fiber and has a low water content, which in fresh fruit amounts only to 60%.
Acai berry is distinguished by the presence of the chemical composition of proteins of high biological value, containing all essential amino acids in the recommended proportions (Table 2).

The berries have a significant content of soluble vitamins (vitamin A and vitamin E), although fruits are also rich in vitamins B group and minerals (magnesium – Mg, Copper – Cu, Chromium – Cr, Zinc – Zn Manganese – Mn, Selenium – Se Potassium – K, Molybdenum – Mo, Iodine – I, Bor – B).

Acai berry and weight loss

Acai berries, thanks to the large amount of fiber (16.9 g per 100 g), accelerate metabolism (metabolism) and the process of digestion. They ensure a long-lasting feeling of satiety, and thus help to control and gradually reduce the amount of calories consumed. Owing to a very high content of tyrosine they are a natural fat burner. The antioxidants cleanse the body of unwanted toxins, and reduce the level of “bad” cholesterol. That is why weight loss with acai berry is so effective.
