NOW Acai delivers the natural nutrient profile found in Genuine Whole Foods.
Acai Berries, indigenous to the Brazilian rainforest, are one of the planet's most remarkable and nutritious fruits. Acai Berries naturally contain Vitamin C and are an excellent source of polyphenols, including rutin, anthocyanins and catechins. Acai is also naturally rich in ellagic acid. These and other antioxidant compounds protect tissues from free radical attack, a key factor in healthy aging. The nutrients and antioxidants in Acai also help support healthy immune and inflammatory response through their modulatory effects on Nitric Oxide (NO) production. Each of these effects is also important for the support of healthy heart and blood vessels. NOW uses only solvent-free, freeze-dried Acai Berries to ensure that the nutrients present in fresh Acai are retained.

Q. Can acai berries boost weight loss?
A. Some weight loss products tout acai, but few studies have tested whether acai promotes weight loss.
There’s no doubt that berries and other fruits are a key part of any healthy diet. The jury’s still out on whether there is something special about acai’s ability to help shed excess pounds.
Q. Why are acai berries used in beauty products?
A.Some cosmetics and beauty products include acai oil because of its antioxidants.
Acai oil may be a safe alternative to other tropical oils used in beauty products, such as facial and body creams, anti-aging skin therapies, shampoos, and conditioners. When acai oil is processed and stored long-term, the antioxidant levels remain high.
Q.Do acai berries and acai juice have any side effects?
