Using Acai Berry Juice for Weight Loss

Have you witnessed or read the benefits of acai berry juice and other products made from acai berry? Eating or drinking acai berries wont help you cut down your fat stores. But certainly, the fruit can help you in weight loss efforts plus it encourages the body to burn your fat.

You must be wondering when there are so many fruits and fat- burning diets, why you need to exclusively stick with acai berry juice. Acai contains a combination of elements that enhances the cleansing function within our body. Acai contains high levels of antioxidants, proteins, amino acid, vitamin E and vitamin B1 and vitamin A.

Acai berry has gained favored position within the health community to nutritionists and even celebrities for its weight loss inducing and overall health rejuvenation potential. The past 5 years has seen a rush to market from a variety of products from pulp, juice and supplements. But do you know that consuming acai berry juice could have an adverse affect on your health?

Juices Are Not Concentrated

The foremost downside of consuming acai berry juices is that these are not concentrated forms and thereby cannot be trusted on delivering the best acai advantages. The available juice forms of acai supplements are generally watered down versions or mixtures with other fruit juices such as apple or grape juices. So while there would be no side-effects as such with consuming these, health benefits would continue to elude you.

Processing Removes Nutrients

Acai whole fruit is the best possible way to enjoy the benefits of the food but in absence of that (owing to the perishability constraints), a juice form is the last thing one must opt for. The reason is simple-these juices would bring no results at all. In the process of picking these berries and transforming them into juice forms, their goodness is lost completely in the various stages of processing which it undergoes. So chucking these in favor of less processed versions like frozen pulps is any day a better decision to partake in acai benefits.

Acai Fruit Loses the Impact Once Harvested

The preservation techniques harvesting acai berry are far more complex than those required for other supplement forms and a general lack of these makes juice forms more expensive. Acai juices are often laden with preservatives to increase their shelf life which hampers their result bearing capacity. However, the flavor in combination with other juices is great.

Sambazon’s Acai Drinks

Sambazon, the global leader in Acai, recently launched their most mainstream effort to date, Sambazon Antioxidant Elixir. Antioxidant Elixir(TM) is an organic revitalizing beverage that provides powerful antioxidants and 600% DV Vitamin C, yet remains refreshingly light on calories, sugar, and contains no fat. Sweetened naturally with agave and infused with a blend of acai, acerola, and the finest organic botanical extracts, this is truly a powerful concoction of ingredients. Contains only 70 calories per serving (about 100 per bottle).

BevNET Review: If you’re a fan of Sambazon’s acai drinks but want something a little lighter in body (and calories), then this is a great option for you. From a flavor point of view, this USDA Organic 20 percent juice blend still has plenty of acai to go around. Plus there are subtle notes of acerola and agave, which help smooth out the tartness of the fruit. The drink manages to deliver plenty of flavor, but still feel light in the mouth and have only 100 calories per 11 oz. bottle. (more…)
