ELEVEN times the antioxidants of a blueberry.


The Açaí Berry, found only in the Amazon Rainforest, has recently been declared #1 Superfood on the Planet by Dr. Nicholas Perricone on the Oprah Show. Eating Açaí daily can help prevent disease, aging, and the effects of pollution, toxins, and our increasingly poor diet.
Celebrities can't get enough of it!
The Premier Acai Blend was given away as a gift at the Oscars in 2007! Retailers can't keep it on the shelves!

Not all Açaí is created equal, however. Only the
"Opti-Acai" patented process can boast antioxidant levels this high. Compared with an antioxidant score of 92 (Blueberries) or 94 (Cranberries), the patented Opti-Açaí comes in at a whopping 1,027. What is Opti-Acai? Read on.

Oh, and by the way - drinking Açaí also SAVES THE RAINFOREST. The company that makes the Premier Açaí Blend has saved 9,000 acres so far, and that's only ONE company! Açaí products are exploding everywhere - and retailers can't keep them on the shelves.

The Brazilian natives used to chop down the Açaí Palm trees to get the 'palmito' from the top of the tree. This would kill the tree - for a salad garnish virtually devoid of nutrition (hearts of palm).

Now the natives are paid many times more per month to CLIMB the trees, and pick the Açaí berries. Their standard of life has improved, and the trees are saved! Read more about how we're saving the rainforest, and helping the people of Brazil, at

Acai Berry Destroys Cancer Cells in Lab

University of Florida researcher Stephen Talcott studies the Acai berry in the lab
EXCERPT: GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A Brazilian berry popular in health food contains antioxidants that destroyed cultured human cancer cells in a recent University of Florida study, one of the first to investigate the fruit's purported benefits.

Published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from Acaí (ah-SAH'-ee) berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

Oprah.com declares: Superfood No. 1: Açaí

Dr. Nicholas Perricone declares the Acai Berry the #1 Superfood in the World on Oprah, November, 2004

On Oprah's website: The Ten Superfoods for Age-Defying Beauty: Superfood #1: ACAI!

It may seem odd to start this list of Superfoods with one you've likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world!

Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazonian palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Açaí tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

Although Açaí may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in juice form. There are quite a few juices that have recently appeared on the scene, but they are NOT created equally. This blog is designed to enlighten you as to the differences.

Brazilian folklore tells of the Acaí berry as a legendary treatment for numerous ailments and the natives often refer to it as the "Amazon Viagra" or "the Wine of the Amazon". But it is only in the last 3 - 5 years that the benefits of the Açaí have been discovered by the Brazilian elite and North Americans who eat the imported and highly perishable berry primarily as a frozen slush.

When properly freeze-dried, Açaí boasts an ORAC score of 1,027 per gram -- higher than that of any other fruit or vegetable tested to date. This is what we mean when we refer to the "Opti-Açaí" process. If Açaí is processed in other ways (spray-drying, air-drying), the antioxidant score can be as low as 180 (compared with 1,027).

All Açaí is not created equally. The berry is VERY sensitive, and must be harvested and processed within hours to achieve this whopping antioxidant (ORAC) score.


It's no wonder that for ages the indigenous cultures of the Amazon have revered Açaí as a source of health and vitality. Mothers give it to their infants along with milk. If you had to, you could literally live on Açaí for several months.

Some of the Açaí copycat juices you find in Costco, etc, have an ORAC score as low as 150. Not only that, they add water (first ingredient), sugar, caffeine, guarana, and other needless ingredients you can't pronounce. Only one Açaí juice can boast this amazing score, because they have a patent pending on their harvesting process, and that's why their Açaí is so amazing.

Where can I get this amazing juice - the one with the whopping antioxidant score of 1,027, you ask?

Today we are starving nutritionally, no matter how much we eat. Why?

19 Exotic fruits that make up MonaVie, with Acai as the crown jewel


In 1953, a woman could eat 2 peaches and get her daily RDA of Vitamin A. Today, she would have to eat FIFTY-THREE PEACHES!!
Why? Because our soils are depleted. We fertilize the heck out of our fruit, but the soils have no minerals. So our fruit gets big, looks pretty, and is utterly devoid of nutrition.
To whit, see "Modern Miracle Men", relating to proper food mineral balances by Dr. Charles Northen, Reprinted from Cosmopolitan, June, 1936.
We pick fruit prematurely, then gas it to stop the aging process. We store it in huge warehouses, and when it's ready to ship to market, we gas it again, to give it color.
No matter of these nutrient-deficient fruits and vegetables we eat, we are are starving.
That is why Acai is SO important. It is grown in the most fertile soil in the world - the Amazon Rainforest.
Simple Solution?: drink 4 ounces of Acai juice per day!
