Acai berry powder is one of many available forms of the popular acai berry. Grown high in the tops of acai palm trees in South America, they are only harvested a few times throughout the year when they are best suited to yield the highest quality berries. When comparing acai berry powder to the other forms of the berry, many people have come to favor the powder version because of its longer shelf life and having the convenience of being able to mix it in with their other favorite beverages is a huge plus.
Acai berry powder does not differ from any of its cousin products such as the juice or the capsule by much in terms of the nutrition contained within. You will still find the same essential fatty acids, phytonutrients, amino acids, phytosterols and antioxidants in a high quality acai berry powder. Since the acai berry super food status has been granted to it by the mass media no longer then just a few short years ago, the scramble and fray has become to locate and purchase all forms of this berry.
Acai berry powder, like all forms of acai, are marketed towards weight loss, increased energy, faster metabolism and the benefits that come from the extremely high doses of antioxidants found within the berry. I will not be going into the full details of exactly why acai is so special or if it can deliver on these various things, you can read about it in my other articles here under the “Acai” category page – I would like to spend my focus on concentrating this article around the benefits of acai berry powder exclusively. All of the acai berry powder reviews I have heard about tie in well with that article.
OK, before you buy acai berry powder or an acai berry powder mix you should just be armed with the knowledge of why it can be a better option instead of the juices or capsules. Acai berry powder tends to last longer on the shelf and provide equal nutrition and the added quality of being able to be used in whatever other beverage you enjoy so there really are not many downsides to this product and it should be strongly considered by those who cannot stand the bitter tastes found in most other acai products; I know it is a powder but the taste is not so much an issue, maybe because of artifical flavoring, or it could be perhaps due to the fact that the powdered form causes it lose a lot of its bitterness.
As with all other acai berry products, the acai berry powder side effects are not any different so you do not have to worry about anything new. I have found many people prefer the acai berry powder to the juices so I strongly suggest you try it for yourself.
