MANILA, Philippines - Acai berry, the small grape-sized berry that grows in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, has gained worldwide acclaim and fame, having been featured on Oprah’s show and endorsed by Dr. Oz and Dr. Perricone in their respective TV programs, all applauding the health benefits of acai.
The USDA ( United States Department of Agriculture) declared in 2010 that acai berry has the highest total ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value among other common selected fruits and vegetables. The ORAC is an index that gauges the antioxidant capacity of a substance to neutralize the free radicals in the body.
Organique Acai has 3,800 ORAC value per 1,000 mg. and contains a full array of natural vitamins (B1, B2, B3, C, E), minerals (potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus), essential amino acids (phenylalanine, proline, glycine, and more), essential fatty acids (similar to olive oil), omega fats, protein, and natural dietary fibers — actually a potent combination as it contains 14,753mg per 30mL/serving that our body must take daily to better combat the daily stresses, toxins, pollutants, free radicals around us. Acai provides part of the daily allowance of B-vitamins, beta-carotene, boron, calcium, chromium, copper, folate, iodine, manganese, magnesium, molybdenum, potassium, selenium, vitamins C, D, E, and zinc. These micronutrients help boost the supply of nutrients needed by the cells in the body to continue its normal functions.
The beta-carotene and vitamin C in Organique Acai have been proven to relieve eye strain and improve eye sight, especially in dim light. According to Dr. Michael P. Lange, board certified optometric physician and board certified nutritional specialist in the US, people over the age 55 experience vision impairment that leads to macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the US.
The acai berry is rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins — more than blue berries, oranges, and other herbs. The anthocyanosides in acai help reduce inflammation of eye capillaries, as they strengthen the eye by providing proper blood and oxygen supply to eyes and ensuring that proper glucose and lipid levels are maintained.
