It has been all the rage lately, and everyone is talking about it. It's the new Acai Berry Supplement. But what exactly is it?

Here we will answer the most common questions asked about the acai berry, its effect, its benefit, and if it is right for you.

First, let us answer the most basic question of what a supplement is.

A food supplement, as the name suggests, is any preparation taken into the body for purposes of supplying nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, etc. This is done to provide the body with these nutrients, if there are none consumed; or to add to what has been consumed but not in substantial amounts. Therefore, supplements cannot claim to cure or treat a disease, but only to support a natural function of the body.

This brings us to the next question: Who can take the acai berry supplement?

Virtually anybody can take it. It has been known to produce positive effects for both young and old people. However, caution should be taken by people with special cases. These may include pregnant women and those who are on maintenance drugs. To be on the safe side, people are also generally advised to consult with their physician.

It is found to improve eyesight and night vision, boost energy and stamina, slow down aging, enhance digestion, and boost the immune system.

What is the best way to use the acai berry as a supplement?

There are several forms in which the acai berry comes in. The fruit can be eaten fresh, although this option is not readily available. The fruits only grow in Brazil and can only stay fresh for 24 hours after harvesting. The commercial forms usually come in powder, extract or tea. To make it into a powder, the acai berry pulp has to be freeze dried first. This process kills some of the natural content of the fruit. Therefore the powder form (which is commonly used in capsules) will not be as effective as extract.

Acai extract, or juice, is probably the most potent. They also come in tea form - a mixture of powdered or dried fruit pulp. This form will have about twice the potency of the capsule, but half the cost of the extract.
