Grown on an Amazon palm tree, found only in South America, this small South American berry is loaded with antioxidants, fiber, amino acids, phytosterols and essential fatty acids that provide a number of beneficial effects, including weight loss.

Several major factors in obtaining an optimal weight level is creating better digestion, a clean colon, additional energy, stable blood sugar and removing toxins from the body. The acai berry does all that and more.

When the blood sugar is stabilized, energy levels remain on an even keel and high with the prevention of sugar highs and lows. This in turn maintains insulin levels preventing the unnecessary blood sugar from turning into fatty tissue. In addition, the compounds help increase metabolism which also aid in calorie burning.
