Pure Acai Juice
Is there such a thing as pure acai juice? if
so, is pure acai juice good for you? These two questions are
very important. Most people who are new to the acai berry think
that the more pure the acai or the acai berry juice the better,
however, there is more to the pure acai juice than one might
think.
Is 100% pure acai the best acai?
You may see some products and supplements
advertising 100% pure acai. These 100% pure acai may even claim
that they are the best acai product because others do not
contain 100% pure acai. Let's examine what 100% pure acai
actually means.
Acai supplements of 1000 mg acai or 1 g
acai
This acai product of 1000 mg acai or 1 g
acai claims to contain 100% pure acai by the freeze dried
process. Each recommended serving is 2 capsules or 1000 mg
acai. Is this a good source of acai berry since the capsules of
1000 mg acai contains 100% pure acai? Let's consider the
illustration of the 1000 mg
acai here to answer that question.

From the
illustration of the 1000 mg acai berry capsules
(like above), it is clear that the advertised
100% acai alone does not dictate whether the
pure 100% acai juice is the best juice.
Other factors which are even more
important need to be considered.

Is the pure acai juice actually pure?
When an acai product or acai berry juice
claims that it is 100% pure acai juice or product, you should
consider that the acai berry is a very unique fruit. The acai
berry is unlike any other berries in the fact that each acai
berry is 90% seed and 10% acai pulp and acai skin. That means
when processing the acai berry, it turns into a puree. It is
impossible to squeeze the acai berry into 100% pure acai juice
the way you could with other fruits. So, you should be
skeptical when reading the words 100% pure acai juice.
Different Grades of acai berry
(pure acai can be of low grade or quality)
On top of all this, there are different
grades of the acai berries. Some acai berries have more health
benefits than others. Acai from different sources have
different antioxidant benefits. Some acai berry product
companies save money by buying low grades of acai berries. That
means, even if the low grades acai berries are turned into 100%
pure acai juice, it is still low in quality and do not contain
the best nutrients to begin with. Low quality acai berry has
less pulp, therefore less flavonoids, lower fatty acid content
and less nutritional value.
Acai berry processing (easy processing gets
rid of beneficial nutrients)
The acai berry is a very special fruit in
the fact that it has a very short life after picking.
Processing of the picked acai berry has to start within 24
hours or the acai berry will lose its nutrients. Since the acai
berries are grown deep in the Amazon Rain Forest, this requires
a big manufacturing plant and power to process the acai berries
in time before they start losing their nutritional value.
There are many other reasons why 100% pure
acai berry juice advertised may not be the best acai berry
juice for you. Email for more
