Pasteurization is a refining process that destroys most of the vitamins, enzymes and nutrients naturally contained in a fruit or vegetable due mostly to the heat involved in this process. Amazon Thunder freeze dried Acai berries are freeze dried which is a low temperature process (-20C) that removes the moisture yet preserves the nutrients, taste and color of the raw berry.
Amazon Thunder Acai capsules contain 100% organic Acai berry pulp with no other ingredients which means absolutely no fillers.
Many of the various brands of Acai berry capsules, contain as little as 50% Acai AND have had the antioxidant properties literally cooked out of them by the pasteurizing process PLUS the remaining 50% is composed of added filler, either corn starch (dextrose), rice powder (multidextrin) or Magnesium Stearate with color added to replace the natural color of the fruit lost during the refining process. Of course the majority of the Nutrients are forever lost. |
The Acai (ah-Sa-ee) fruit is often referred to as the Super Berry. This delicious dark fruit is an all natural energy berry from the Amazon acai palm. It has the highest ranking orac score (orac being the measure of the antioxidant power) of any fruit in the world with by far the highest antioxidant values of any fruit known!
