The acai berry is located in the Amazon Rainforest. It is one of the many fruits located there, which is an ideal location for it, since the acai berry prospers in swampy or floodplain areas. In the floodplains, the acai palm stands approximately 15-30 m tall with leaves up to 3 m long. The berry, which is approximately the size and shape of a grape, grows in bunches of 700-900 berries on the palm.
The berry, which is plentiful along the Amazon, also has a number of benefits,including antioxidants, fiber, fatty acids, proteins, and more.One of the most amazing discoveries is the amount of antioxidants. The antioxidants from the berry are much higher than those found in red wine (at least 20 times more) or blueberries (at least two times more), which are two of the largest antioxidant carriers. It is rumored to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth, which has earned it the nickname of the “super berry”.

I personally love the Acai berry. One down side i have noticed is the terrible taste though. Id advise trying this Mona-vie drink i get. It is absolutely Fantastic!

One great way to get the acai berry is to eat it in chocolate! I have been ordering the Xocai power squares (little chocolate squares) that are to die for from chocolaterave.com. Each one has 3,582 orac per square (I'm reading this off one in front of me - lol) They have bars too but I like the choclate square or nuggets the best - you will love them that much I know!

I have been a fan of the Acai berry for quite some time now. In that time I have found myself to feel alot better. However one of my friends is a diabetic and has taken it.

Within a couple of months of taking the Acai berry he is now at an acceptible blood sugar level of 4.8.

Try it out.

Isn't the acai berry drink high in carbs though? I'm diabetic also and any fruit juice is off limits for me due to the carbs - it would send my sugars sky high. I would love to find a fruit juice I could drink but there has to be a lot of sugars in it? That is why I eat the chocolate I mentioned as you get a lot of the benefits of the berries but not many carbs.

While I am not sure on the full details to my understanding is it is safe to drink. Not being diabetic myself I cannot safely say. My friend seems to be ok with it though. I would check with your medical practitioner first this way you know if it is safe or not.

Sorry I cannot be of more help but I thought it would be of great benefit for people on this forum to hear about the positive effects it has had on my mate who suffers from diabetes.

Thanks. All I'd need to do is look on the label - any drink over a few carbs is too high for me to drink. Most juices are very high in carbs. I'll have to look the next time I see it in a store and check it out. I would be shocked if I found it acceptable for a diabetic though for good sugar control. Maybe in tiny amounts - several "shots" throughout the day or something! I do feel better when I eat the chocolate acai berry - its so declicious.

Ya Acai does wonders, I've been drinking a Acai Drink called Mona Vie which has 18 other fruits besides Acai and I'm more healthier then ever. It's giving me a lot of energy to work out, Lowered my cholesterol, I lost weight, I had minor back pains,bad cough which I don't get any longer. I've liked the drink so much I become a distributor so I can get it for wholesale pricing instead of retail. So I save a lot of $. I wish everyone could drink it and I try to tell people about it in this forum but advertising isn't allowed. I can see why since there's so many garbage health products that don't work and this great forum would just get flooded with it.

There is a ton of researc on Acai berry, which shows it to be a powerful AntiOxidant.

This may help reduce inflammation, aiding in your blood glucose levels.

That being said, the best thing to do for pre-diabetes is to:

exercise
lose weight (if needed)
eat a healthy diet

No amount of Acai can beat those three.

Looking at a bottle of the acai superjuice right now.....the carbs are 5 grams per 2 oz serving or 2%. Each day you would take two servings, one in the AM and one in the PM. Compared the the "no sugar added" fruit juice my son drinks.....27 grams of carbs and 22 grams are from sugar!!! There is no added sugar in the super juice, but it does have natural sugar. You should also keep in mind that drinking the juice regularly will help your body to regulate your sugar all by itself. I know an extreme diabetic who was on 3 different meds to control it and still couldn't get it below 180. Started on the juice now he's down to 120 and taking only one med to help regulate!!!

be careful. because the original poster stated diabetic, lets not rush into it. i wanted to try it and got scammed. so i did it again, this time reading the fine print. i wrote a quick blog on how to get around it and get a real free trial. i am not pushing it by any means, but if you are going to try it out, at least save yourself the headaches i went through.

Watch out for those free trail stuff they offer.
I got scammed a couple times and never got the product but they charge my credit card .

I'll be honest I don't need it I'm ok, my sister Kathy is a little over weight however and had this new year's resolution to lose the extra fat so she got some organic acai berry and she says its working, slowly but surely :p She's obsessed by this stuff! She spent a great deal of time researching all the companies. living healthy is a lifestyle.

The Acai Berry is found in the rain forests of South America and has been a popular fruit with the people of its native land for many

generations. Pronounced "ah-sigh-ee",the acai fruit has recently become the subject of a North American health craze with the

introduction of various acai drinks, health products and weight loss supplements.

There was a time when I was grossly overweight. At that time, I had no clue about the acai berry. I was fat, ugly, sloppy and laden with a negative attitude. Acai Berry has changed my life totally. If you are facing the same problem I suggest you to try Acai Berry
