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.

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 information on the best acai berry juice.
