Nutritional Chemistry
of the Brazilian Amazonian Acai Berry

OMEGA FATTY ACIDS (Omega-9, Omega-6, and Omega-3). These monosaturated essential fatty acids help lower LDL (harmful cholesterol) while maintaining HDL (beneficial cholesterol). This unique ratio resembles the same combination as olive oil. Omega fatty acids combat heart disease by increasing healthy cell development. Omega fatty acids are essential for healthy nervous system development and regeneration. They help rapidly repair and rejuvenate muscles after intense exercise.

AMINO ACIDS; the açai berry contains an almost perfect essential amino acid complex. This is vital for proper muscle contraction and regeneration, and for endurance, strength, sustained energy and muscle development.

NATURAL VITAMIN E; to protect against aging.

THEOBROMINE; acts as a bronchial dilator to help open air passageways in the lungs. This increased air capacity helps in oxygen intake, which increases endurance, strength, and athletic performance.

PHOTOSTEROLS; These complex compounds of plant cell membranes are used to treat symptoms associated with BPH, (benign prostate hyperplasia). Photosterols also help promote a healthy cardiovascular system and contribute to a healthy digestive tract.

ANTIOXIDANTS; açai is rich in anthocyanins, an essential anti-oxidizer that helps combat premature aging. In fact, açia has 10–33 times more anthocyanins (purple colored antioxidants) than a glass of red wine.
