So let’s imagine a place deep in the Amazon rainforest a raw, naturally entwisted organic ecosystem where soils are rich in dark organic nutrients and elements. A place untouched by pesticides or pollution. Our Açaí palm is growing in this place, peacefully along the banks of the Amazon River. This resilient Acai tree ("tree of life") grows in abundance covering over 6.1 million acres of land through out the Amazon. It’s from these wild growing Açaí trees we hand select and capture the natural essence of the berry in every tub of Amazonia Acai.

ACAI BERRIES and HEALTHY BLOOD 

Purpleberry contains one of the richest sources of ANTHOCYANINS ever discovered! Anthocyanins is the compound usually referred to in red wine (it is what makes red wine red, also found in many other foods like purple cabbage, eggplants and blueberries).  Amazonia's Purpleberry contains 101 times more anthocyanins level when compared to red grapes (Based on ORAC testing by the Australian Measurement Institute) and if you look at our AMAZONIA Purpleberry you’ll see that its main characteristic is the berry’s very rich dark purple colouring (caused by a high concentration of anthocyanins!).

	Blood before taking ACAI BERRIES (showing Erythrocytes aggregation) These red blood cells are sticking to one another and forming clumps, due to being coated in sticky proteins. This is a sign that there may be inflammation happening in the body. This inflammation could be associated with infection, allergy, toxicity, poor digestion or unhealthy dietary choices.
	Blood 30min after taking ACAI berries (healthy blood, red blood cells are separated) We can then conclude;  Your blood feeds every part of the body's organs, tissue, cells, muscles, and most importantly the BRAIN.  So imagine the all round effects of healthy blood.

      Laboratory research show that anthocyanins can display a variety of health benefits including;

• Reduces oxidation of LDL cholesterol, reduces blood stickiness (platelet aggregation), dilated blood vessels and improve overall heart function.
• Protect against cancer by inhibiting inflammation, cancerous changes in cells and tumour growths.
• Reduce premature brain aging and enhance memory.
• Helps prevent macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people of the age of 65.”

ACAI BERRIES are RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS

• Over 16 types of antioxidants!
• Over 4 times the antioxidant concentration of Goji Berries
• Over 42 times the antioxidant concentration of Blueberries
• Over 101 the antioxidant concentration of Red Grapes
• ALL 100% NATURAL and completely ORGANIC occurring nutrients

ACAI NUTRITIONAL CONTENT  
(Based on Alexander G. Schauss, PhD, FACN)

Acai also has a very LOW GI INDEX (glycemic Index) which means that AÇAÍ burns slowly and consistently through-out the day.  Each Acai Berry contains:

AMINO ACIDS and ACAI BERRIES

Amino acids are the building blocks of the body and help maintain optimal health and vitality. Around ten are essential amino acids which means they are essential for our bodies to run healthy and the rest are non-essential meaning with proper nutrition the body can manufacture them. They’re 22 known amino acids all up and amazingly the Purpleberry contains an incredible 17 of them!  Amino acids the purpleberry contains are listed below!


ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS
Below amino acid functions is referenced from Aimee Christine Hughes; ND

HISTIDINE (essential for children)
May aid tissue growth, maintenance and repair Possesses anti-inflammatory properties

ISOLEUCINE
May aid in regulating and maintaining energy and blood sugar levels May aid in the formation of haemoglobin

LEUCINE
May assist in the protection and fuels muscles. May help heal bone, muscle and skin

LYSINE
May help promote growth and tissue repair. Plays a role in the production of antibodies, enzymes and hormones 

METHIONINE
Assists in breaking down fats and inhibits their build-up in arteries and the liver. Has powerful antioxidant properties

PHENYLALANINE
May assist in alleviating depression. May improves memory and mental alertness 

TRYPTOPHAN
May aids in the production of niacin (Vitamin B3).Can possess antidepressant qualities

VALINE
May assist with repairing tissue. May aid in balancing the body’s nitrogen levels

NON-ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS IN ACAI
(Amino acid functions is referenced from Aimee Christine Hughes; ND)

ALANINE
May assist in strengthening the immune system. Metabolises glucose and alleviates hypoglycaemia

ASPARTIC ACID
Assists in the removal of toxins from the bloodstream and May increase endurance and stamina

CYSTEINE
detoxifying the body. Assists in aiding in collagen production to improve skin’s texture and elasticity

GLUTAMIC ACID
May help promote brain functions and May aid in metabolising fats and sugars

GLYCINE
May promote a healthy prostate, assists in aiding in central nervous system functioning

HYDROXYPROLINE
Aids in the construction of collagen, the body’s major structural protein

PROLINE
May work to maintain muscle tissue, Helps collagen and cartilage production

SERINE
Aids functioning of the brain and central nervous system, May help maintain the immune system

TYROSINE
May work to stimulate and modify brain activity. May assist in alleviating stress

WEIGHT LOSS AND THE PURPLEBERRY

AMAZONIA Acai or Purpleberries contain all OMEGAS (3, 6, 9).  Our Purpleberries are so fresh that you can actually see all the essential oils causing the powder to ‘stick’ together (retained due to our unique processing!) Omegas are also known to help absorb and dissolve cholesterol in our bodies. Clinical research has been increasingly proving that omega-rich foods can also help prevent cardiovascular (heart) disease, depression, arthritis and other health conditions.

 “Acai berries are rich also in OLEIC ACID which helps cause cells in the body to become supple and thus invite more Omega 3 to penetrate the cell membranes. When a cell membrane is kept supple, all hormone, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors work more efficiently”. (Dr MD Perricone, the Perricone Weight lose Diet,2009)

 “Acai also contains a great deal of CYANIDIN, a highly antioxidant phyto-chemical compound first discovered by Japanese researchers. Cyanidin aids in draining fat away from the body as well as prevention of fat absorption.” Dr MD Perricone, the Perricone Weight lose Diet, 2009

 Açaí has a concentration of what’s called ‘PHYTOSTEROLS’ which are basically plant compounds similar to animal cholesterol (however unlike ingested cholesterol from animal sources; fat that raises your cholesterol level), phytosterols do just the opposite. These good guys actually “block dietary cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream” lowering cholesterol levels. (Dr MD Perricone, the Perricone Weight lose Diet, 2009) 

“The combination of the two fatty acids (oleic acid and omegas) “allows all hormones, neurotransmitters and insulin receptors to run more efficiently; critically important in maintaining HOMEOSTATIS”. (Dr MD Perricone, the Perricone Weight lose Diet, 2009)

This wonderful word describes all bodily functions running as they should be and makes sure all of your body systems are in balance. Run all you like, however if you are internally unhealthy, it will always be a difficult task to lose weight unless your most important internal systems (immune, digestive, lymphatic, cardiovascular etc.) are running properly and efficiently.
