The acai berry itself is a superfruit, which means it's high in antioxidants. They're incredibly good for you in many ways. It can even give you clearer skin because antioxidants work as a great detox tool.

BUT, I don't think it should be promoted as purely a weight loss product.

I don't like to rubbish it because, as a health product, anything that is high in antioxidants can help prevent diseases. But from what people have said, and my own experience, it's very hit and miss on the weight loss side.

I asked my doctor about this the other day and he said that it works as an appetite suppressant as well as providing all the other healthful benefits.However, it's just like anything else IMO, you need to exercise, eat right and sleep to get the full benefits.

I have to wonder if it flushes out the pesticides from the thyroid priming it for optimal performance. That will affect the numbers on the scale for sure.

Default Do NOT order the trials

Do not go on to the websites and get the free 2 week trial. It is a joke! you can not get a hold of anyone when you get charged for something you don't want. I had started to fill out the page when I decided that I would just get it from a reputable company so I backed out after I had put my credit card number in and I just got a conformation sent to me from a website that I aborted! I have left messages and sent an email and told them that if I didn't hear from them by friday I was going to log a formal complaint with the BBB. I am also going to call the credit card company to have them stop the payment and to block all future tranactions with this company. I just hope that none of you have to go through this. This is why I didn't go though with it and my feeling was right.

DO NOT GO ON TO THE WEBSITES TO ORDER THE FREE TRIALS they are a joke and nothing but a headache.

Yeah, I almost fell for this too! Good thing I actually read the "fine print". You get the free month's trial for 14 days, then after 14 days, they charge you like $60.00 (if you don't contact them to let them know you're dissatisfied with the product (which sounds like is impossible)...hmmm...free trial my a$$!!!

I wish the attorney general would crack down on this type of deceptive marketing.
