How To Find High-Quality Acai Berry Powder

By Travis Van Slooten

Acai berry powder is a relative newcomer to the food supplement market. Only appearing in the last few years, many people are just now hearing about it. But in the short time it has been on the American market, it has gained a tremendous amount of coverage from television shows and health specialists. Because of this, there are now numerous companies selling acai berry supplements and other products. While this makes it easy to find these products, it can make it hard to find the higher quality ones. There are a few things you should know that will help you find the best products at a great price.

What should I avoid?

There are a few things that some companies will do, or not do, which can negatively impact the quality of their products. Some companies use a spray-drying process which removes the nutrients from their acai berry powder. You essentially end up with a worthless product. Some companies will also save money by processing the seed of the berry. The seed comprises most of the berry and reduces the nutritional value of the acai powder when processed with the fruit. If a company uses the seed in their powder, you are getting about 20% of the benefit you would get from a pure berry powder.

What should I look for?

Knowing what to look for will save you a lot of headache when shopping for acai berry powder. Always make sure the label says the product is freeze-dried. Freeze-drying acai berry locks in the nutrients and can contain as much as 50 times the antioxidant level of spray-dried acai berry. Since most companies will not openly say they spray-dry their product, you can assume that any company which does not say they freeze-dry their product does not use the preferred method. You also want to make sure you are getting only the best organic acai berry. This usually means looking for wild-harvested acai, as it will contain no chemicals or additives.

Where can I get the best acai berry powder?

Given the sheer number of companies trying to make money from the acai berry craze, you may be struggling to find one that is high quality and does not make you feel uneasy about giving them your business. The first thing you want to look for in a powder product is freeze-dried acai. The other method of drying the berries is by spray-drying. This method is inferior to freeze-drying because most of the nutritents are destroyed during the process. The second thing you want to look for is wild harvested, organic acai. This will ensure that the product is free from any insecticides and fertilizers.

By following these two simple criteria, you'll be able to find the best acai berry powder supplements! - 17274
