 The Amazon Rainforest is a treasure trove of medicinal plants, but one of the most useful treasures to be uncovered is the Açai berry.
Many scientists believe the Amazon Rainforest holds the secrets to treating and preventing many of the most feared diseases, such as AIDS, diabetes, cancer and arthritis. There are over 100 pharmaceutical companies supporting research on the plants in the Rainforest, and studying the knowledge of native healers and shamans.
One of these plants, the Açai (ah-sigh-EE) berry, actually grows wild on top of 60-foot-tall palm trees that Brazilians call “the tree of life.” The people of the Amazon have known about Açai for centuries, but it hasn’t been until recently that the West found out about it. This berry is heavily marketed as a health food because it is known to contain many antioxidant vitamins. Chief among these antioxidants is a compound called anthocyanins. The free-radical scavenging and antioxidant capacities of anthocyanin pigments are well known—in fact, these are the compounds thought to give red wine its health benefits.
Açai has been touted as a weight reducer, metabolism booster and energy booster, as well as being beneficial for a host of diseases. Though these claims require further research, there is no disputing the fact that antioxidants are important in maintaining heart health--and Açai is known to contain ten times as many antioxidant vitamins as grapes and twice as many as blueberries. So makes it a lot of sense to use Açai Berry Extract as part of a healthy diet.
