Acai Berry: What is it and why all the buzz?

Have you ever heard of the Oprah effect and how she can take something from nowhere to everywhere in the matter of a single show? Well, that is exactly what happened to Acai Berry.

Acai Berry has been around for years, I had been drinking it as a juice in some of the fancy smoothies for several years. You could find it in stores, but not always easily.

It is believed the Acai Berry promotes weight loss and that it also boosts energy. It is also a good source of antioxidants.

Acai berry is regularly available as juice and as a supplement pill, but be wary of Acai Berry "flavored" drinks... read the ingredients and you will discover that many are actually a simulated flavor without any real Acai Berry in it (if it is inexpensive, it is probably a sign that it is not the real thing!) If you are buying it in a juice bar, it is probably the real thing, but don't be afraid to ask. There are also many places that sell it online and include free samples or trials, if you are unable to find it locally.
