Acai Bio Vital Ingredients: Freeze dried Acai - 400mg Resveratrol 98% - 50mg Green Tea Extract - 50mg In Biotivia’s quest to find and source the very best natural remedies that mother nature provides, we come across many products that have been unworthy of the Biotivia ‘stamp of approval’. But every so often we find an ingredient that almost seems too good to be true. This can be said of Acai, a super berry from deep within the Amazon rain forest. We first heard about this when one of our researchers came back from a vacation to South America 4 years ago. He was enthusing about how good he had been feeling and claimed it was due to a little known berry from the Acai palm tree that he had been introduced to by some Brazilian friends. He said that he had never felt so alive and that the renewed amount of energy he had was all due to this berry drink. We decided to do a little investigating of our own and we found that, once our tests had been completed, he was right. The Acai palm has been used by the Riebeirihnos, the Amazons ‘river dwellers’, for hundreds of years to alleviate pains. In fact it has been the key ingredient in many of their herbal remedies and native medicines. Acai is cultivated deep within the forests and always no further than 25ft (8 metres) away from the river banks. This is because the tidal water feeds the Acai plant twice a day with rich minerals and other nutrients from the mighty Amazon. The berry itself is mainly seed, but the 10% which is pulp has been found to contain a huge amount of protein, fibre, vitamin A, calcium and iron. The Acai berry also has a great amount of antioxidant power. An astounding fact regarding Acai relates to Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, or ORAC value. This is the method of measuring levels of anti-oxidants in foods to determine the nutritional benefits. Recently a study proved that Acai has an ORAC score five times more than another famous superfood: the blueberry. The reason it has taken Biotivia four years to announce their Acai supplement is that there were some serious technical challenges to overcome before we were willing to put our name on any Acai product. The ‘Dark Drupe’, as Acai has been dubbed, has to be processed within 24 hours of picking as it quickly loses its health benefits and nutritional properties. This is done by freeze drying the fruit into a powder, which 'locks in' the nutritional properties and health promoting lipid oils. This is the only way to guarantee you can get the most out of the fruit so if you see the berry in store you know that the goodness has left. Our freeze drying process gives you the peace of mind that your getting exactly what your paying for ... quality with a high dose of health. Once the powder is made into a supplement it must be protected from oxidation.  Otherwise the shelf life in measured in weeks. Biotivia solved this challenge by use of a patented oxygen scavenging system which captures the oxygen which enters the bottle when a capsule is retrieved.  No other supplier goes to this length to preserve freshness and bio activity. What are the benefits of taking this superfood?   An increase in stamina and energy When taken on a regular basis, the acai berry helps to strengthen the immune system and with the help of the powerful antioxident levels, your stamina and energy levels will increase drastically allowing your body to fight off disease more efficiently. It can help combat obesity and aid you in losing weight The essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols and antioxidants combined in the Acai berry helps your body to process food faster and in turn helps to burn fat. It can help to boost your metabolism which facilitates weight loss and promotes a healthier body.   It may have cancer fighting properties The University of Florida conducted a study which showed that acai has a direct link in reducing the proliferation of cancerous cells. The results established acai activates a self destruct reaction in up to 86% of cancer cells found in humans. Though Acai isn’t a cure, as a preventative measure it may be extremely useful. We have long known that antioxidants fortify cells against damage from oxidative stress and other threats.   Helping the heart The Acai berry has plenty of omega 3 and 6 oils, which are proven to help the heart function better by helping to reduce bad cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are needed by our bodies to help in the absorption of vitamins A, E, D and K as we cannot create them naturally.

Studies carried out have verified that, due to the berry's high phytochemical content, it can reduce cholesterol absorbtion in the intestines by up to 15%.
