cutensassy_1, Acai berries are a relatively newly discovered berry from South America that has some amazing characteristics. The acai berry is high in anti-oxidants and really helps people loose weight quickly. There are lots of health advantages to acai berries, but they must be frozen right after harvest to make sure they retain thier potency. One of the most populat brands of acai suppleiments is vital acai. Many talk show hosts have done profiles on the health benefits of acai.
As you probably know, the acai berry craze is filled with scams, especially on the internet. I would be very cautious about ordering free trials of acai. Sambazon is probably your best bet. You can find it in health food or vitamin stores. I suggest the powder instead of the juice, and you are probably safe to buy online at sambazon.com.
When I mentioned scams, I was speaking from personal experience. I ordered a free trial of Acai Berry Power 500. On my next credit card, I noticed an extra charge of $29.95 from that acai company. I called them and they said I had agreed to a personal nutrition consultation for $29.95. To make a long story short, I had to threaten them with a lawsuit before they refunded that extra charge.
I also ordered Acai Berry Supreme. A few weeks later, I got another bottle in the mail, even though I never asked for it. I left the shipping box unopened and wrote on it: Return to Sender. Do Not Charge My Credit Card for This Product. Then I put the item back in a mailbox. I am worried about what my next credit card will say. I’ve heard of people being charged $89 for the next shipment.
Acai berry really does help you lose weight.
I have been using it for two months now and it not only helps me lose weight, but it has also made me feel much
better overall health wise.
I bought mine from . Try that site, i think its still out there
While there aren’t really any generic brands out there, there are suppliers that are shady and downright scams. Read this acai berry diet review before going ahead and starting the diet.
There are generic brands and there are more well known brands. I would check out
I got mine from there and I am pretty happy with the results.
Hi,
Your question is actually based on a false premise (sorry!).
There is no such thing as a “generic” brand of Acai, as there is no authorised sole Acai product – They are in effect all generic. Don’t be fooled by the hype and marketing!
The thing to watch out for with Acai is what kind of processing it goes through prior to making up in to a product.
From the research I’ve done, freeze-dried is the best, which leaves most goodness in the berry.
If you can get Organic, all the better, as you then know that you are not getting pesticide residues.
Fair Trade would then be the next thing, as you can buy in good conscious knowing that that the growers are receiving a fair wage to supply you with what you want (which is what we all want isn’t it).
So … forget the name (hype/marketing). Look for pure Acai, freeze-dried, organic, fair trade.
Avoid the “monthly autoship/free trial” sites. Unfortunately, there are a few companies that make it very hard to cancel your subscription, and then you get trapped in a monthly delviery scheme.
Trust this helps,

Not really sure what I would recommend to you specifically. Its difficult to pick so what I end up doing is starting cheap and trying out several trials and seeing the results.This is a good website at visit and see if it interests you, I did.
