However, Acai Berry is known to contain nutrients that are good for your health, including your heart, energy and stamina and immune system. Researches on Acai Berry have been promising though. There is a report showing Acai Berrys potential in destroying human cancer cell but the study was done in laboratory and has not been tested in human as yet, and therefore, it is still considered too early to make a conclusion.
Lie#5: Acai Berry has no side effect

Although cases reported are only minor, if you are suffering from this condition, Acai berry may aggravate your symptom. Due to its high fibre content too, some people might experience mild diarrhea when taking Acai berry.
Although pure Acai berry is relatively safe, depending on the product you buy, there is possibility of side effects in mixed ingredient Acai berry products. Therefore, it is important to know the product before you actually choose to buy your Acai berry.
Lie#6: All Acai Berries are the same
Fact: Acai Berries are not created equal. Different product has different potency. First of all, Acai Berry is highly perishable and need to be processed within 24 hours after harvesting. Secondly, not all processing method can retain Acai Berrys nutrient. It has to be freeze dried for you to enjoy its benefits. Thirdly, Acai Berry antioxidant mostly found in the rind of the fruit which makes for only 10% of the fruit. Therefore, products using other part of Acai Berry such as the seed will not have the same benefit as those utilising the rind of the fruit.
As you can see, Acai Berry is no magical solution for weight problem, aging or any disease. Being very rich in antioxidant and nutrients however, Acai Berry should be considered a great leverage to help you attain a healthy life.
For it to work however, it needs you to work as well. Many people make the mistake by hoping Acai Berry to do all the work for them. So, take Acai Berry as a diet supplement to compliment a healthy lifestyle instead of a miracle weight loss or anti-aging solution.
