Aliness Acai Berry is a natural dietary supplement in the form of a pure, highly concentrated Euterpe oleracea fruit extract, commonly known as acai. The fruits of this plant have a strong antioxidant effect, thus strengthening the body's protection against excess free radicals. The convenient, powdered form of the product enables adjusting the dose of the product to individual needs.
Acai berries are small, dark purple balls, resembling blueberry in shape. They grow on palm trees, mainly in the rainforests of South America.
Acai fruits belong to the group of the so-called "superfoods" because of their extremely beneficial effects on the body and high nutritional value. They are a source of polyphenols (such as ellagic acid, rutin, anthocyanins, catechins), as well as many vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin A) and minerals (iron, calcium). Besides, they also contain a set of exogenous amino acids and fiber, which has a positive effect on the digestive tract.
High antioxidant potential
The most important fact about acai berries is certainly their highest antioxidant potential of all plants. This potential is set on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale and determines the ability of antioxidants to absorb reactive oxygen species in a given food product. For acai fruit, this value is as much as 102.700 μmol TE/100g (as to compare, goji berries and dark grape have values 3290 and 1746, respectively).
What is more, acai berries are credited with the activity within the cardiovascular system, and it is associated mainly with an antiatherosclerotic effect and normalization of the lipid profile, as well as the ability to support the functioning of the immune system and prevent inflammatory processes.
To sum up, Aliness Acai Berry is an ideal product for people who value a natural and easy way to enrich their diet with a concentrated dose of healthy substances.

Acai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) is a small, dark purple stone fruit, reminiscent of blueberry. It grows on palm trees growing in the Amazon rainforests. Due to the unique nutritional value and the richness of biologically active ingredients, it is included in the group of products referred to as "superfood". In supplementation, the extract from powdered acai fruits is usually used. Most often they are previously subjected to a freeze-drying process, thanks to which they retain all nutritional values and pro-health properties.
Acai berries provide a lot of bioactive ingredients. They contain a lot of protein with an excellent amino acid profile, plenty of dietary fiber, vitamins (A, C, E, B vitamins) and minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, chromium, manganese, selenium, potassium, molybdenum). They also contain lipids, plant sterols (β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol) and a powerful dose of antioxidants (flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenolic acids).
Preparations containing acai fruits are recommended as part of general health prophylaxis. They are recommended especially for people who do not care about proper nutrition, are exposed to chronic stress, or often get sick. They will also prove to be a valuable element of the prophylaxis of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
