Supposedly, the Amazonian tribes have been utilizing Acai for a very long while and findings from many scientific studies suggest it contains some of the following properties to maximize health and athletic performance:

  • Oleic (Omega 9) - helps lower LDL (bad cholesterol)
  • Linoleic (Omega 6) - also lowers LDL while boosting HDL (good cholesterol)
  • Phytosterols - reduces blood plasma cholesterol.
  • Unsaturated Fatty Acids - that contain dense energy to power your day.
  • Anthocyanin - an essential protein contained in fruit.
  • Fibre - Acai is very rich in fibre.
