Acai 1000 mg
There are acai supplements that claim to contain 100% pure acai of the freeze dried process on the market. Each serving is about 2 capsules of 1000 mg of acai or 1 g acai. Is this the best acai berry source? Let's compare the acai berry 1000 mg capsules to a 25% acai berry juice with added other fruits. The recommended dosage of this 25% acai berry juice is 2 oz. each time. So, which is better for you; the 1000 mg acai berry capsules or the 25% acai berry juice?
Which is better 1000 mg of 100% pure acai or 1 oz. of 25% acai?
This involves a little math. First of all, 1 oz = 28.35 g. That means each recommended dosage of acai berry juice of 1 oz. provides you with (25% x 28.35 = ) 7.09 g. In addition, all companies do not just recommend merely one oz. of serving. MonaVie, for example, recommends at least 2 oz. of the acai berry juice each serving, thus providing at least 14 g of acai in each serving.
By comparison, one serving of 100% pure acai capsules contains less acai than 25% acai in 1-2 oz. of acai berry juice. In fact, the 25% acai berry juice contains 14 times or more than the 100% pure 1000 mg acai berry capsules per serving.

Overall, the 25% acai juice can offer more acai content and benefits than the 100% acai can. In addition, what if the 75% other ingredients are actually very beneficial in addition to the acai? Just as you are supposed to eat all food groups, the 25% acai berry juice can actually be better for you in terms of nutritional values because you will be getting benefits from other fruits to supplement the acai benefits.
