I received a couple of bottles of Acai berry capsules as samples in the mail. The bottle says "Cleanses the System, Sparks Metabolism, Boosts Energy Levels". All things I would like!! Are they safe to take?

It's bs. Proper diet and exercise is the only thing that will make you lose weight and keep it off.

It is a source of anti-oxidants. That is it. If you drink too much - given the concentrated calories, you will get fat.

I drink it when I am sick... for the vitamin C content and anti-oxidants.

I don't buy into faster metabolism or other claims. It is a big component of Mona Vie.

MonaVie Official Website (http://www.monavie.com/Web/US/en/index.dhtml?r=1 - broken link)

However, I just buy my Acai in the grocery store for about $7 for (about 600+ cc's).

Default Yet another gimmick to avoid

I don't buy any of this crap. If you want to lose weight, it should cost you nothing. Simply watch what you eat, minimize processed foods and sugar, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly.

I believe the [url=http://allnutri.com/acai+berry.aspx Supplements Benefits | Buy Best Acai Berries Products[/url] Supplement is the best option.. check out a website I saw in Australia called "Magic Berry"

They talk about Monavie and the Acai berry.

I didn't realize that the Acai berry was supposed to have special weight loss properties? That's interesting. I drink an acai green tea a couple times a week but that is just because I enjoy the taste.
