The major benefits of the acai berry are thought to include its strong heart health benefits. The acai berry is known to be a rich source of compounds called anthocyanins. These same compounds are thought to give red wine its health benefits. However, the acai berry contains much higher concentrations of the same healthy compound, and without any of the risks associated with alcohol consumption.
The acai berry has also shown to be a rich source of protein and dietary fiber, in addition to containing high levels of both omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, thought to have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. These fatty acids may also play a key role in lowering cholesterol levels in our blood.
In health food circles, the acai berry is known to be one of the world's most powerful "superfoods", and many believe that it's regular consumption may even slow down the aging process. As far as antioxidants go, the acai berry is twice as potent as the blueberry and ten times more powerful than grapes. http://www.acaiultimate100.com/?data1=131637&data2=91213a20185
