Harvested by Brazilians for hundreds of years as a food staple and for their rejuvenating and detoxifying properties, Acai berries (fruit of Amazonian Acai Palms) have been all over the media, from articles in fitness magazines to features on popular television programs like 0prah and the Today show, and thousands of people all over the world say that Acai berry products help them live a healthier life that is full of energy and vitality.

But we've taken these little purple powerhouses one step further. By combining Acai extract with a combination of nutrients including Chromium, Green Tea and L-Theanine, Acai Berry Select gives you a distinctive edge over simple Acai extract alone when trying to lose weight.

 

The natural, functional foods and nutritional supplement arenas are one of the fastest frowing segments of the market.  Why direct selling or network marketing to distribute products?  In direct selling the sales approach can be targeted and the representative is more informed about the product(s) than the retail sales clerk working for minimum wage.  Benefits to the seller are a supplemental income from home, a chance to run their own business, and improved on the job morale.  The lack of information about supplements is apparent; there are overcrowded shelves with varities and brands of similar products and non-knowledgeable salespeople.  Also, once someone's life is changed due to a product, strong loyalty can be created to both the product and the business opportunity.

 

Due to the reduction of nutrients in our food, the AMA and doctors have begun to suggest adding supplements to our diet. In looking for options, we find many different companies all with their own claims about why theirs is the best. Choosing the right one(s) can be a daunting task.

RDA (recommended daily allowance) was first established in the 1930s and was based on the amount of essential nutrients from food an average person would need to maintain wellness. The first vitamins were created in laboratories as a low cost way to meet the RDA requirements and these vitamins were synthetics. Later research showed that the benefit of synthetic vitamins was not the same as the vitamin complexes found in food. Most believe they may even be harmful due to the chemical nature of the vitamins. In addition, the minerals were really just dirt and rocks, which people cannot digest regardless of how small the minerals are ground. Vitamins are added to many foods such as cereals, but they are not the same as the fresh blueberries, raspberries, or peaches, we may eat with the cereal.

The second generation of supplements are of two types -- fruit and vegetable extracts and single exotic plant or fruit products such as aloe vera, gogi, or acai -- and are considered to be whole food supplements. Mineral molecules are bonded to amino acids, lipids, sugars, and phytochemicals in plants so that people can absorb the minerals when the plants are eaten. Plants are the body's natural and most bioavailable source of vitamins AND minerals and these natural vitamin mineral complexes are far superior to the synthetic versions.

Because these whole food supplements could not be standardized, meaning that the amounts of each nutrient established and labeled, there would be no guarantee of just how much of any one nutrient (vitamin or mineral) the product contained. The newest generation of supplements can now be standardized natural vitamin complexes, standardized plant-derived minerals and standardized plant-derived phytochemicals with all sources identified and labeled. In this latest generation, the labels are specific on amounts of each nutrient included as well as the source of that nutrient. Certain plants have a much higher ability to concentrate minerals and are being grown hydroponically in mineral-enriched water. Higher levels of minerals in these plants are the result. This allows for the standardization of plan minerals that meet RDA and RDI (recommended daily intake) requirements.
