Hi, I recently started taking Acai 1000mg sold by walgreen and made by natrol. I have been taking it for 5 days I take one capsule at around 7pm each day.
Next day I am groggy and drowsy the whole day with no energy to work out and do the house work either . Has anyone else experienced this increased drowsiness and can advise if this is temporary or should I quit taking it once and for all.
I will really appreciate some help,

A coworker got drowsy on it too and gave it up immediately.

As a supplement they can put whatever they want in there, if you are showing adverse effects discontinue immediately...many supplement makers have been jailed for putting in things they shouldn't (like Hydroxycut recently, 23 cases of liver failure and 1 death).

If you have EVER had an allergic reaction to anything you are probably allergic to it. Acia is aged (sitting around for a while, much like wine) and is VERY high in histamines which can cause drowsiness, headaches and even anafilactic seizures in some cases.

What are you taking it WITH???? It probably isn't the supplement alone causing the problem but might be an interaction with whatever else you are taking. These so called "dangerous supplements" are completely harmless by themselves but if you are taking prescriptions or even over the counter DRUGS you should check with a pharmacist about potential interactions.

Oh no, no supplement ever caused any harm (Consumerist - RECALL: FDA Warns Consumers To Stop Using Hydroxycut Immediately - Recall, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolife) it must be those filthy pharmaceuticals manufacturers.

A few people in my fitness classes have taken it. They have lost weight and are much happier, no one has said anything about side effects at all.

My friend sold some to me years ago; I drank some, but there was no effect whatsoever, so I stopped.

I noticed my friend did lose a lot of weight, however, her hair is getting thinner too.

If you want to take acsi, the best acai in the world is through a small company out of austin called Pro Image I promise you will have more energy than you know what to do with. I swear you have never seen anything this good. I recently found out they're giving away big 30 oz trial bottles so people can see for themselves. check it out a Pro Image International - Fruta Vida
